CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
poultry feed manufacturing; the beef and pork industry is almost non-existent. The
quality standards of Indian feeds are high and up to international levels. Raw materials
for feed are adequately available in India. The industry's production is about 3.0 million
tones, which represents only 5 percent of the total potential, and feed exports are not
very high. The feed industry has modern computerized plants and the latest equipment
for analytical procedures and least-cost ration formulation, and it employs the latest
manufacturing technology. In India, most research work on animal feeds is practical and
focuses on the use of by-products, the upgrading of ingredients and the enhancing of
productivity.
The country has entered into a period of liberalization and this is bound to influence
the livestock industry. The per capita consumption of milk, eggs and broiler meat will
grow. The Indian feed industry is undergoing a very exciting phase of growth for the
next decade.
scientific basis started around 1965 with the setting up of medium-sized feed plants in
northern and western India. Feed was produced mainly to cater to the needs of dairy
cattle. The poultry sector was not developed at that time and was restricted to backyard
production, with the desi kept mainly for the production of eggs. The poultry industry is
now growing in importance. Today, the Indian feed industry is worth approximately Rs

Worldwide, India is number one in milk production, at 78.0 million tones per
annum, and the dairy industry is spread across the whole country. India has one of the
largest populations of cattle and buffalo in the world. In a total of 288 million head, there
are 10 million crossbred cows, 15 million good milk cows of local varieties and 36 million
buffaloes of good milk varieties. The remainder of the cattle population is of a non-

of high-value imported varieties of purebred animals. The buffalo breeds are unique to
India, and produce milk with a fat content of 7 to 8 percent. Milk is seen as a health
drink and a variety of Indian sweets are prepared from milk. The ice-cream market is
growing.

through banks, and member farmers started to share the profits from cooperatives.
Cooperatives also set up their own modern computerized feed plants. They have

individual small farmers. It is unlikely that India will see the advent of large, organized
Poultry
Compared with the rest of the livestock sector, the poultry industry in India is more
competition, expansion and survival instincts. India is the world's fifth largest egg
producer, with a total production of 40 billion eggs per year. The broiler industry is
growing at the rate of 10 percent per annum. Indicators are given in Table 2.
India has 150 million layers and 650 million broilers. Annual per capita
consumption of eggs is 40, and that of broiler meat is 1000 grams. Although these
figures are low in comparison with those for developed countries, the industry has great
potential to expand because 30 percent of the country's population (about 300 million
people) is developing economically and the demand for poultry products is therefore
likely to grow.
The poultry industry has witnessed several ups and downs in the last 25 years as a
at the rate of 10 percent in broilers and 6 to 7 percent in layers and is going through a
phase of integration in broilers, which is likely to change the face of the industry.
The sheep and goat sector is mostly in the hands of nomadic tribes and no
agricultural universities.
Most of the country's camels are located in the desert area of the western part of
India, in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, bordering Pakistan. Camels are reared by
individuals who feed them local ingredients. There is a lack of scientific management
practices, genetic studies and scientific feeding practices in camel rearing and the
and breeding.

beliefs. Although the majority of the population is Hindu, there are sizeable minorities of
Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsees and others. India also has a large
tribal population and is a plural society in which the sentiments of each social and
religious group need to be respected for harmony and peaceful coexistence. Thus, most
states in India have banned cow slaughter and the beef industry is therefore non-
existent. The majority of people disapprove of pork consumption, maybe because of the
lack of scientific management on swine farms. Swine reared on the streets are very
unhygienic and buyers are always suspicious about the source of pork, so there is no
The Indian equine industry goes back more than 50 years and is considered
modern, scientific and very well equipped in terms of every aspect of animal husbandry
practices. The equine industry is spread across India and is restricted to horse racing.
Imports of good genetic material are quite common in this industry. The feeding of these
valuable animals is mostly at the farm level under the supervision of experienced people
The Indian pet industry is in a nascent stage, with the main focus being on dogs
rather than cats and the emphasis on breeding and training. Regular dog shows are
pure-breeds; dogs are a source of pride for households. In many cities, animal health
care systems are run by qualified vets with well-equipped facilities such as X-ray
machines, surgical facilities, imported vaccines and the latest drugs. The feeding of pets
is however, left to the household. Some commercial preparations are available in the
form of dog biscuits, chews, etc., but dogs are fed mostly on home-cooked food. One of
the reasons for this could be the high cost of commercial pet food.
India is currently self-sufficient in livestock feeds and does not depend on imports.
Instead, the country exports large quantities of solvent extracted meals, which are a
Maize, sorghum and bajra (a type of millet) are commonly used in animal feeds.
Commonly used commodities of this kind are soybean, groundnut, rapeseed, and
sesame and sunflower meals in poultry feed. In cattle feed, in addition to these meals,
Meat-meal, fishmeal, bone meal and dicalcium phosphate of bone origin are the
common raw materials available for animal feeding. It is interesting to note that, with the
exception of some bone-based dicalcium phosphate, the Indian feed industry does not
use materials of animal origin in dairy cattle feed. This was not out of fear of any
zoonotic problems but the result of deep-rooted beliefs that the cow is sacred and must
therefore be vegetarian. Now even the use of bone-based dicalcium phosphate has
Fishmeal and meat-meal were popularly used in poultry feed, but the increased
production, improved availability and better awareness of soybean meal has led to its
replacing fishmeal and meat-meal in most poultry rations. It should be mentioned that
Popular By-Products
Some by-products are very nutritious and palatable to cattle, and these products
form the bulk of cattle feed. They include wheat bran, rice bran and oil-extracted rice
bran, tapioca, guar meal, safflower meal, maize gluten and molasses. A special mention
should be made of Indian cattle feed's unique use of hulls or shells, popularly known as
chunis in the local language. These shells come from pulses: horse gram, black gram,
Cattle feed is necessarily enriched with vitamins A and D3, and trace minerals such
as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt and iodine. Calcium and phosphorus are also
included. Poultry feed is enriched with all of these and all of the B complex vitamins.
Feed additives and supplements have played a very important role in enhancing
the performance of dairy animals and, even more so, poultry. Today they are necessary
in any feed formulation and essential for the formulation of a balanced diet. The
additives and supplements used are antibiotic growth promoters (their usage is not
banned in India), prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, mould inhibitors, toxin binders, anti-
coccidian supplements, acidifiers, amino acids, by-pass fat, by-pass protein, non-
antibiotic growth promoters, milk boosters, antioxidants, feed flavors and herbal
preparations of Indian origin. A number of these products are imported from developed
countries.
COMPOUNDED FEED
In India, the term "compound feed" refers to feed that is nutritionally balanced and
has been manufactured using the facilities of an analytical laboratory and under the
supervision of nutritionists. There are also a large number of small-scale feed mixers
who produce feed for local consumption. Such feed is termed "self-mixed feed" or
"home-mixed feed".
Cattle Feed
Cattle feeding practices are very traditional. Farmers choose their own ingredients
and prepare their own formulations, believing that by these means they are able to pay
more individual attention to their cattle. The productivity of the cattle is limited because
of their poor genetic make-up, so high-quality compound feed (industry feed) may not

highly productive animals that compound feed has been able to show its real potential
and the importance of technology has been demonstrated.
The share of compound cattle feed manufactured by the industry, in relation to the

Industrially manufactured compound cattle feed has proved its value for
crossbred cows and buffaloes but not for low-yielding cattle because of their
genetic limitations. Home-mixed feed is very frequently used for buffaloes and
low-yielding cattle.
Poultry Feed
Poultry feed is divided into layer and broiler feed. In the case of layer feed, cost is
the main constraint in using compound feed. An innovative, high-value compound feed
can result in increased numbers of eggs, but the risks are too high because of the birds'
Compound feed has, however, made a major contribution to broiler feeding. This is
use of feed additives and supplements. Cost is a less important factor because the
performance improvements are greater than the cost increases and the birds' life cycle
is short.
Two types of poultry feed are prepared. One is ready-made and in the form of mash
or pellets. The second is in concentrated form for mixing with an energy source.
Concentrates are protein sources, balanced in amino acids and containing vitamins,
minerals and feed additives. They are mixed with energy sources such as maize,
people. Although the annual growth rate has slowed from 2 to 1.8 percent, the base is
so broad that changes in population dynamics are not perceptible. The population may
stabilize by sometime between 2030 and 2040 if all sections of society support family
planning wholeheartedly. The purchasing power of the middle class is growing (the
middle class accounts for approximately 300 million people) and food habits are also
changing.
The Indian economy is growing at the rate of 6 to 8 percent per annum. The
livestock industry in India is the second largest contributor to gross domestic product
(GDP), after agriculture, and accounts for 9 percent of the total. Consumption is likely to
increase as follows: per capita milk from 240 to 450 g per year; per capita eggs from 40
to 100 per year; and per capita broiler meat from 1000 to 2000 g per year.
A major change is occurring in India on the economic front. The country has
adopted a model that lays midway between liberal and public sector production, but
growth has been affected by the poor performance of most of the public sector units,
rising government costs and fiscal deficit, and the economy has suffered. A process of
liberalization was set in motion by the government and has been implemented for the
last eight to ten years. This has caused India to open up and invite investment from
government controls and restrictions will soon be over thanks to progress in the
country's economy.
India has entered into an agreement with its trade partners under the World Trade
Organization (WTO). The changes brought about by the liberalization process will be
slow but certain. The government is opening up imports in a phased manner, and it is
expected that this process will be completed by April 2003. In the meantime, about 930
items, including agricultural products, will be open for import under open general license
from April 2001, making it possible to import dressed chicken, milk and milk products.
Various livestock industry associations have taken issue with such imports in an
attempt to protect their members. If the livestock industry is affected, the feed industry
will also be affected. The Government of India has raised the tariff on all poultry and
poultry products from 35 percent to the WTO boundary level of 100 percent. It therefore
In view of the expected rise in per capita consumption of chicken meat, eggs and
milk, livestock production and productivity will grow. The dairy industry, which is
The population of crossbred cattle and buffaloes is also growing. Milk is very popular in
India. The poultry industry is developing towards vertical integration and a few
multinational companies have already entered the Indian poultry business. Although the
live bird market currently accounts for about 90 percent of the total market, it is
expected that the consumption of dressed chicken will grow in the next five years, from
the existing 10 percent to 25 percent or more. This would mean establishing very
hygienic and scientific processing units. Cold chains, branded chicken, chicken cuts,
etc. will be introduced and, depending on the success and consistent quality, consumer

and natural and herbal products to improve animal productivity. Indian agriculture will
also use biotechnology and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to support the feed

of work related responsibilities. In the Initial Stage, I had given a task to arrange the
financial statement with the help of the previous recorded data. I had help the senior in
there work which was assign to them. I had work hard and given my leisure time with my
senior with accomplishing there works. I am very responsible about my work and to

CHAPTER 4: STUDY OF SELECTED RESEARCHER PROBLEM
Finance is life blood of the business. We need finance for the production of
goods and services as well as their distribution. The efficiency of the production and the
personnel. Finance function plays an important role in the business systems and it
should be given equal importance as with the production and the marketing function.
Thus, business finance is defined -“That business activity concerned with the acquisition
and conversion of capital funds in the accepting the financial aids and the over all
There is an unavoidable time lag between the planning of the product and its final
sale. However any business concern needs finance for the following purpose:
5) To push the product in the open market, the money should be spent for
the funds flow cycle. Financial management is in charge of the efficient planning and
control the cycle of flow of this inflow and out flow of funds. There are three
current.
3) Funds raising activities such as short term and long term borrowings
However the funds raised from the owners or from the long term resources
should be efficiently invested in the varies fixed or current assets. The funds borrowed
must be duly protected and conservative as to make maximum use of funds. Any
financial manager should strike a balance between these conflicting items and optimize
As there are 3 fundamental financial divisions like investment, financial and profit
disposal decisions under the financial management. These fundamental decisions are
based upon the basic criterion as the objective of the financial management. However it
is generally agreed that financial objective of the concern is to maximize the owner‟s
economic welfare. There are two well know criterion to achieve these objective. They
are
a) Profit Maximization
b) Wealth Maximization
Profit Maximization
As per this objective every company is oriented to maximize the overall profit of
the company. Thus, it simply means that maximizing the rupee income of the company.
As per this objective the efficiency of the company is measured by considering profits.
As the merit of this objective the profit is a test of economic efficiency and the
profit is a yard stick for measuring the economic performances. On the other hand as
the limitation is concerned there is no perfect definition as regards to “profit” and further
it also ignores the time value of money and the element of risk associated.
Wealth Maximization

deals with the investment of the capital in a profitable project. While evaluating the

1) Traditional Method
The payback period can be defined as the “the number of years required to
recover the original cash outlay in a project. If the cash flows are unequal the payback
period can be ascertained by adding up the cash inflows until the total is equal to the
equal or lower than the payback period determined by the management. The project
The accounting rate return is calculated by dividing the average investment (after
tax) by the average investment. While evaluating the project will be accepted if its
accounting rate of return is equal t o or higher the minimum rate of return fixed by the
projects. The project with the highest accounting rate of return will be accepted.
As the traditional techniques are concerned, it is not considering the time value of
Discounted Cash Flow: As the merit of the discounted cash flow techniques are
concerned, it considers the time value of money. Further it also considers the cash
flows of the project and also it is consistent with the wealth maximization objective. As
the limitations is concerned to implement these techniques is too difficult. Further these
technique are based on the cost of capital whose computation is most difficult.
Net Present value Method:
Under Net present value method the cash flows are to be discounted by a
discounting factor. It is the Godrej Agrovet cost of capital after ascertaining the present
value of the cash out flows and the in flows. The present value of the cash outflows is
deducted out of present value of the cash inflows in order to arrive at the net present
value.
The other discounted cash flow techniques like internal rate of return method
profitability index method are the simple modifications of net present value method.

which the net present value is zero. The rate for computing IRR depends as bank
lending rate or opportunity cost of funds to invest which is often is called as personal
discount rate or accounting rate. The IRR can be stated in the form of a ratio as shown
below:
Cash Outflows
If the cash inflow is not uniform, then IRR will have to be calculated by trial and
error method better to find out „factors‟. The factors reflects the same relationships of
outlay. The only difference between the net present value method and profitability index
method is the when using the NPV technique. The initial outlay is deducted from the

is positive. When more than one project proposals are evaluated, for the selection of
one among them, the project with higher PI will be selected. This method is also called
decisions as it influences the owners return and risk. The total wealth of the company is
adversely affected by improper capital structure decisions. Thus every company will
have to plan its capital structure initially at the time of promotion and subsequently
whenever the funds have to be raised to finance investments and a capital structure
decision is involved.
Whenever the firm employs debts and the personal capital the financial leverage
will be operated in the capital structure. The financial leverage may be favorable, when
the return on fixed assets is more than the interest payable on debt. The favorable
financial leverage will minimize the economic welfare and vice versa.
While planning the capital structure of the firm that should be optimum and
economical. The optimum capital structure can be obtained when the total value of
fact that it plays a pivotal role in keeping the wheels of a companies running. Working
capital management is concerned with short term financial decisions. A firm invests a
part of its permanent capital in fixed assets and keeps a part of it for working capital.
Working capital is also known as circulating capital, fluctuating capital and revolving
capital. The magnitude and composition keep on change continuously in the course of
business. If the working capital level is not proper maintained and managed, then it may
result in unnecessary blockage of scare resources of the company. Therefore, Finance
The working capital is the capital required by an industrial unit to carry out day
to day operation and in particular to complete a working cycle. Basically there are two

2) Net Working Capital: It refers to the different between current asset and
Firms need certain quantity of current assets for a particular level of operations
mainly to buy and stock necessary inventory and give credit on sales. The sum of these
assets constitutes the gross working capital. Since the level of holding current assets
differ from industry to industry and to firm to firm in the same industry. There is no
absolute volume of working capital required for a firm. This requirement is differed by
many factors like efficiency of management price of material, nature of business and so
many other factors. Therefore to determine the working capital requirement level the
Working capital is the life blood of the business, without which the fixed
assets are in operative. Working capital circulates in the business, and the current
assets changes from one from to another. Cash is used for procurement of raw
materials and stores item and for the payment of operating expenses, an converted in
work-in-progress, than to finished goods. When the finished goods are sold on credit
terms receivable balance will be formed. When the receivable are collected, it is again
converted into cash. The need of working capital arises because of time gap between
production of goods and their actual realisation after sales. This time gap is called as
management of working capital. Quicker the operating cycle less amount of investment
in working capital is needed and it improves the profitability. The knowledge of operating
cycle is essential for smoothing running of the business without shortage of working
capital. The operating cycle calls for proper monitoring of external environment of the
business. Changes in government policies like taxation, import restrictions, credit policy
of central banks. Will have impact on the length of operating cycle, it‟s the task of
progresses.
The time needs for the completion of the operating cycle is an important factor
determining the working capital requirements. A company with a very short period of
operating cycle like trading banking companies etc needs less amount of working
capital. Where as the company like Godrej Agrovet Ltd. having the lengthier operating
cycle period like manufacturing companies need large amount of working capital.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
information depicting the comparative results of each is needed to arrive at the selection
of most favorable decision for eventual implementation. This brings us to the question
what constitute financial information? What information enables the finance manager to
The basic source covering financial information about a firm‟s affairs is its
annual financial accounts. i.e. profit and loss statement for the last operating
period(quarter, half year, annually, etc) and the balance sheet as at the end of that
period. Profit and loss accounts reveal the operating results of the business activities of
the firm and how they are put to use. In other words the acquired assets at the disposal
of the firm and liabilities that the firm has incurred and remains indebted to others.
These sources however reveal only part of the necessary information and a
considerable gap. It is therefore necessary to further examine and break down the
information in these statements with a much greater elaboration and detail to translate
the comparative strengths and weakness of the firm. The finance manager, for this
purpose employs certain analytical tools and perceptive statements based on the source
data from the balance sheet and profit and loss account statements.
Before we enter into the methodology and procedure for financial analysis, it is
desirable to identify to whom such information is useful and how? Financial analysis

4.4 ANALYSIS OF DATA
Liquidity Ratios:
These are those ratios, which are intended to measure the liquidity position of the
company. Liquidity ratios indicate whether it will be possible for a company to meet its
short term obligations or liabilities out of its short term resources or assets. Further they
indicate whether a company has sufficient working capital to carry on its day to day
operations.
The trade creditors, bankers, and other short term tenders are interested in these
ratios as they indicate capacity to pay off the short term obligations. The long term
creditors, employees, shareholders are interested in these ratios as they would like to
know whether the concern would be able to pay the interest on the loans, on the due
date, remuneration of staff in time, dividend respectively.
Current ratio which express the relationship between current assets and
current liabilities. Current assets normally mean assets convertible and meant to be
converted into cash within a year‟s time.
Table – 01

INTERPRETATION:
In the case of Godrej Agrovet the current ratio we can see in above table
that expect in all the years the ratio is above and only in 2005 ratio is below 1 and
incurred the worst situation. While comparing to other year, in the year 2009 the firm as
higher current ratio and have the high liquidity and short term solvency in the business
and can meet there short term liquidity in the business. This shows that increase in the
value of current assets will increase the ability of the company to meets its obligations &
therefore from the point of view of creditors the company is less risky.
inventory is converted into cost of goods sold. Hence, it is a device to measure the
efficiency of the inventory management. However, in its zeal to show a high ratio,
inventories are not allowed to drop down below the danger level.
higher inventory turnover than those retailers who deal in durable goods.
Table 02
GRAPH SHOWING BELOW INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Chart 02
INTERPRETATION
Inventory turnover ratio shows the relationship between the sales & stock it
means how stock is being turned over into sales. The inventory turn over ratio indicates
how fast inventory is sold. A high ratio is good from the point of view of liquidity and the
low inventory turn over ratio does not sell fast and stays on the shelf or in the
warehouse for a long time.
The stock turnover ratio is 2005 was 10.32 times which indicate that the stock is
being turned into sales 10.32 times during the year. The inventory cycle makes 10.32
around during the year. It helps to work out the stock holding period, it means the stock
turnover ratio is 10.32 times then the stock holding period is 1.16 months
[12/10.32=1.16 months]. This indicates that it takes 1.16 months for stock to be sold out
after it is produced.
For the last 5 years stock turnover ratio is lower than the standard but it is in
increasing order. In the year 2005 to 2009 the stock turnover ratio has improved from
10.32 to 10.79 times expect in the year 2007 it had stock turn over of 5.84. Thus, the
stock of the company is moving fast in the market.
PROFITIABILTY RATIO
business. However, the real test of success or failure of a business is to evaluate its
profit earning capacity in relation to capital employed. It is against this background that
financial experts developed profitability ratios which are used to measure the ability of
the firm to convert sales into profits and earn profits on assets employed. These indicate
degree of success in achieving profit levels. This ratio consists of (i) Profitability ratio
The profit margin measures the relationship between profit and sales. As the profit may
This ratio indicates the relationship between gross profit and sales. It reflects
how well cost of goods sold, a major expenses items, is being controlled. It shows the
profit made on sales concern. It is always preferred to express this ratio in terms of
percentage. The gross profit margin is computed by deducting cost of goods sold from
Chart-03
Graph-03
INTERPRETATION
The Gross profit margin indicates the limit beyond which fall in sales prices are
outside the tolerance limit. The gross profit ratio used to determining the extent of loss
caused by theft, spoilage, damage and so on in the case of those firms which follows
the policy of fixed gross profit margin in the pricing their products.
In the year 2007 and 2008, the firm incurred gross loss margin of 1.04 and 5.75.
It may be of those important factors are (i) A high cost of production, incurred high cost
in acquisition of raw material and other inputs and inefficient utilization of current assets.
(ii) A low selling price resulting from severe competition, inferior quality of product and
lack of demand for product. In the year 2009, it was Incurred the gross profit margin
ratio reach to 1.98. It signifies that of good management over factory expenses of the
firm.
The net profit margin monitors the net profit made in relation to sales. This ratio,
also known as net operating margin, is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax by
The net profit margin provides a relatively clear picture of how efficiently the firm
maintains control over its total expenses. In addition, the analyst may wish to calculate
the relationship between each expense item and sales to determine the degree to which
specific expenses are under control or are tending to move out of control.
Table 04
Graph 04
INTERPRETATION
The profit margin evaluated in relation to the turnover ratio. In other words the
overall rate of return is the product of the profit margin ratio and the turn over ratio. The
gross margin may show a substantial increase over into period of time but net profit
margin may (i) have remained constant or (ii) it may not increased as fast as the gross
margin (iii) may have actually have decline. It may be due to the fact of increase in the
operating expenses.
The ratio of net profit to sales essentially expresses the cost price effectiveness of
the operation. In year 2007, it had decline in the net profit to 0.38 but in 2008 and 2009
the firm had a good return of net profit margin of 4.5 and 4.41 this had a constant net
profit for two consecutive years. This ensure the Godrej Agrovet that adequate return to
the owners as well as enable a firm to withstand adverse economic conditions when
selling price is declining, cost of production is rising and demand for the product is
falling.
While the ratio of net profit to sales is a very useful indicator of performance
experience of other companies, it does not give a direct answer to a vital question : Is
the business providing an adequate return on the owner‟s investment, taking into
account the risk associated with the company‟s business and what this investment
could earn in alternative ventures? To help answer this question, the ratio of return on
owner‟s equity needed. The profit earned by owner‟s of a business is called return on
owner‟s equity. The return on owner‟s equity is worked out with the help of the following
formula:
Return On

INTERPRETATION
The Return on owner‟s equity reveals how profitability the owners funds have
been utilized by the firm. In 2008 and 2009 the firm‟s return on owner‟s equity ratio
shows that the there is increase in relative performance and strength of the firm.
Leverage Ratio (Test of Solvency)
increase the return on owner‟s equity. Leverage ratio measures the contribution of
financing by owners compared with financing provided by the firm‟s creditors. As the
liquidity test measures the ability of a firm to meet its current financial obligations, the
leverage ratios, a test of solvency, attempts to monitor the ability of a firm to pay all of
its debts- current as well as non-current, as they became due. The capital structure of

ratio indicates the proportion of funds on the earnings available to the equity
shareholders.

INTERPRETATION
The proprietary ratio shows what portion of the total assets financed by the
owner‟s capital. If the firm as low proprietary ratio of debt to total assets is desirable
from the point of the creditors as there is sufficient margin of safety available to them.
But its implications for the share holders are that debt is not being exploited to make
available to them the benefit of trading on equity. If the firm has high proprietary ratio
would expose the creditors to higher risk. The implications of the ratio of equity capital
of total assets are exactly opposite to that of the debt to total assets. A firm should have
In the year 2006 and 2007, the Godrej Agrovet had bite low proprietary ratio
while comparing to other years. But they had the sufficient margin to safety the owner‟s
capital. And in the year 2008 and 2009 the firm had the average ratio of 56.34 and
53.56.
B) Debt-Equity ratio
Debt-Equity ratio develops relationship between owned funds and the borrowed
funds. This reflects the extent to which borrowed capital is used in place of equity
capital Business firms acquire assets both with owners and creditors funds. The larger
the portion of funds provided by owners, the less risk is assumed by creditors.
Chart 07
Table 07
INTERPRETATION
The debt equity ratio is an important tool of financial analysis to appraise the
financial structure of a firm. The debt equity represents the proportion of external equity
to internal equity in the capital structure of the firm. As the rule of thumb, debt equity
ratio of less than 1.00 is taken as acceptable, but this is not based on any scientific
analysis. As the ratio increases, the amount of risk assumed by creditors increases,

The market based ratios relates the firm‟s stock price to its earnings and book value
per share. These ratios give management an indication of what investors think of the
company‟s past performance and future prospects. If firm‟s profitability, solvency and
turnover ratios are good, then market based ratios will be high and its share price is also
expected to be high.

A business is in many ways a living organization and cash flow is its life
stream because few transactions take place that don‟t begin or end with cash. Profitable
venture fails because of insufficient cash, but unprofitable ones have been know to
continue for long periods if sufficient cash is somewhat pumped into the system. Thus
one of the important task of the management is to control and monitor firms cash
position so that adequate cash is available to meet the requirement of the business. To
discharge this function efficiently, management makes use of a statement called cash

important and powerful tool in the hands of financial analyst. By calculating one or other
ratio or group of ratios he can analyze the performance of a firm from the different point
of view.
The ratio analysis can help in understanding the liquidity and short-term solvency
of the firm, particularly for the trade creditors and banks. Long-term solvency position as
measured by different debt ratios can help a debt investor or financial institutions to
evaluate the degree of financial risk. The operational efficiency of the firm in utilizing its
assets to generate profits can be assessed on the basis of different turnover ratios. The
profitability of the firm can be analyzed with the help of profitability ratios.
However the ratio analyses suffer from different limitations also. The ratios need
not be taken for granted and accepted at face values. These ratios are numerous and
there are wide spread variations in the same measure. Ratios generally do the work of
diagnosing a problem only and failed to provide the solution to the problem.
Recommendations
It could be concluded that people are well aware of GODREJ AGROVET when
compared to other animal feed or agricultural industry. Because of its brand image it is
attracting more number of farmers, which are proved to be the advantageous factor for
Godrej Agrovet. By considering this advantageous factor the company must provide
and company has to spend huge amount of investment to provide training to the
