INTRODUCTION
Working capital is defined as the difference between assets and liabilities. It measures how many liquid assets are available for a business to use for growth opportunities. A lack of working capital can really hold a business back from reaching their full potential. There are many different ways to obtain capital for the business. Working capital is that part of capital which is required to meet the day-to-day needs of the organization. It is required to meet the day to day expenses like paying salaries, rent, buying raw materials etc. some capital is also required to keep the stock of the partly finished goods or products, some cash is required to meet any emergency work. Thus, we can refer to the working capital as the Life Blood of any organization. Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. In financial analysis, a position and performance of a firm ratio is used as an index or yardstick for evaluating the financial position and performance of a firm. The relationship between two accounting figure, express mathematically is known as a financial ratio. Ratio calculated from the past financial statement of the same firm. It helps compare different firm. Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strength and weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account and it is also the starting point for making plans, before using any sophisticated forecasting and planning procedures. Ratio indicates a quantitative relationship, which can be in turn, used to make a qualitative judgement. The greater the ratio, the greater the firms liquidity. In this project we show how financial data can be used to analyze a firms past performance and assess its present financial strength.

RATIO ANALYSIS
78
Working capital is defined as the difference between assets and liabilities. It measures how many liquid assets are available for a business to use for growth opportunities. A lack of working capital can really hold a business back from reaching their full potential. There are many different ways to obtain capital for the business. Working capital is that part of capital which is required to meet the day-to-day needs of the organization. It is required to meet the day to day expenses like paying salaries, rent, buying raw materials etc. some capital is also required to keep the stock of the partly finished goods or products, some cash is required to meet any emergency work. Thus, we can refer to the working capital as the Life Blood of any organization. Ratio-analysis is a concept or technique which is as old as accounting concept. Financial analysis is a scientific tool. It has assumed important role as a tool for appraising the real worth of an enterprise, its performance during a period of time and its pit falls. Financial analysis is a vital apparatus for the interpretation of financial statements. It also helps to find out any cross-sectional and time series linkages between various ratios. Ratio-analysis means the process of computing, determining and presenting the relationship of related items and groups of items of the financial statements. They provide in a summarized and concise form of fairly good idea about the financial position of a unit. They are important tools for financial analysis. Its a tool which enables the banker or lender to arrive at the following factors: Liquidity position Profitability Solvency Financial Stability Quality of the Management Safety & Security of the loans & advances to be or already been provided

MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL Working capital is that part of capital which is required to meet the day-to-day needs of the organization. It is required to meet the day to day expenses like paying salaries, rent, buying raw materials etc. some capital Is also required to keep the stock of the partly finished goods or products, some cash is required to meet any emergency work. Thus, we can refer to the working capital as the Life Blood of any organization. Working capital management involves the management and control of the gross current assets as against the net working capital (NWC). And the current assets mainly comprise cash, sundry debtors also known as accounts receivables and bills receivables, and inventories. Thus, the working capital management comprises the management of all these components, individually and collectively too. According to smith Working Capital Management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the interrelationship that exist between them. The capital requirement of a business can be classified into two categories: 1) 2) Fixed Capital Working Capital
Fixed capitals are required to create production facilities, which includes infrastructure and other fixed assets. Funds are also needed to carry on day-to-day activities of business. Working capital reefers to that part of capital, this is required to carry on the day-to-day activities or business smoothly. The day-to-day operations include purchase of raw material, payment of wages and salaries and meeting other expenses such as electricity, transport and common office expenses etc. in other works, working capital, which is required for financing short-term assets of the business.
78
There are two concept of working capital 1) Gross working capital 2) Net working capital Gross working capital It means the sum total of all current assets. Current assets mean those assets, which are converted into cash within one year as a result of business operation. Components of current assets are cash and bank, B/R, debtors, inventories, o/s income, prepaid expenses. Net working capital It is a difference between current assets and current liabilities. Net working capital may be positive or negative. A positive net working capital arises when current assets exceed current liabilities. The net working capital will be negative when current liabilities exceed current assets. The net working capital indicated the liquidity position of the business. Gross working capital vs. Net working capital Theoretically speaking, there are two concepts of working capital, viz. 1) 2) Gross working capital comprising total current assets; and Net working capital (i.e., current assets less current liabilities). The main items that comprise current assets are: (i)Cash (a)In hand (b)In bank; and (c)In transit.
78
(ii) Investments: Only short-term investments (like quoted hares of other companies intended for sale) long0term investments (like all unquoted shares, and quoted shares of subsidiary companies), however, are treated as Miscellaneous Assets, instead). (iii) Inventories comprising: (a)Raw materials and consumable stores and spares; (b)Work-in-progress; and (c)Finished goods. (iv)Sundry debtors (also had known as Bills receivable or accounts receivable). (v)Loans and advances (given by the company to others). Items comprising current liabilities are: (i)Sundry creditors (also known as bills payable or account payable) (ii)Trade advances (received by the company for supply of goods and/or for rending services). (iii)Short-term borrowing from commercial banks or other financial institution. (iv)Short-term loans from other sources (v)Provisions made for a) Payment for taxes b) Bad debts to be written off; and c) Fluctuations in exchange rates etc. But in practice, the working management concerns the management of total current assets and the total current liabilities, too, which, in fact, vary, depending upon the level of current assets required. Thus,
78
the term, net working capital, is only an accounting concept, not having much of economic or financial significance. Classification of working capital on the basis of time: (i) Permanent working capital (ii) Temporary working capital Permanent working capital or fixed working capital Permanent working capital means all the minimum amount of investment in all the current assets, which is regarded at all times to carry on minimum level of business activities. Thus there is always a need for minimum level of current assets which is known as permanent working capital or fixed working capital. It remains in the business in one form or the other; also there is a positive co-relation between the amount of the permanent working capital and the size of the business. The minimum amount of working capital is required to carry on minimum level of business operation of all times. In other words it represents that part of capital, which is permanently backed up in current assets to carry out minimum level of business activities. Every form has to maintain a minimum level of raw material; W.I.P., finished goods and cash balance throughout the year. This minimum level of current assets is called permanent working capital. Others further subdivided into two: (a) Regular working capital It is the part of working capital which is needed to keep on the circulation form cash to inventories, receivables and again to cash. (b) Reserve working capital It refers to the extra amount that should be kept as reserve for meeting am contingencies that may arise at any time.
78
Temporary working capital Temporary working capital cab be referred as fluctuating or variable capital. The amount of temporary working is directly proportional to the changes in the production and the sales. The extra working capital required to support the changing production and sales activities is known as temporary working capital. It is the amount of working capital, which is required to meet the seasonal needs or special needs. The amount of variable working capital changes in accordance with the volume of business operations the variable working capital is sub divided into two parts: (a) Seasonal working capital The working capital required to meet the seasonal requirement of the business is called seasonal working capital. Requirement for the working capital varies with the seasonal changes in many industries. Example: More amount of production is required in an umbrella factory during rainy season or during winter season there is high demand for woolen clothes.
(b) Special working capital Additional working capital may also be required on account of certain abnormal conditions; it is that part of capital, which is required for financing some special, needs. Example: Advertisement in connection with launching of a new product. During strikes, lock out and to face cutthroat competition advertisement for the company execution of special orders of the government will have to be financed by the company and this amount is derived from the working capital.
78
NEEDS FOR WORKING CAPITAL Every business needs some amount of working capital to carry on the day-to-day activities. The need for working capital arises due to the time gap between acquisition of raw materials and realization of cash by sale of finished products. The requirement of working capital depends on the length of operating cycle. The more the length of operating cycle will be the need of working capital and vice versa. Working capital is needed for the following purposes: (a)Purchase of raw material, spare parts etc (b)Payment of salary and wages (c)To meet the day-to-day administrative and factory expenses. (d)To maintain the required level of inventory of raw materials, workin-progress and finished goods, spare parts etc. (e)To meet the selling and administration expense such as packing advertisement, etc. (f)To provide credit facilities to customers.
Importance of adequacy of working capital Investment in fixed assets is not sufficient to run the business to carry on the business operations, every business needs working capital. This working capital is described as Life Blood and Nerve Center of every business. No business can run successfully without an adequate working capital. It is said that inadequate working capital is a criminal waste. Both the situations are unwanted to a sound business organization. Therefore it is essential to maintain an optimum level of working capital.
78
Advantages of maintaining adequate amount of working capital. (a)Solvency of business (b)Optimum level of working capital (c)Enables the business to maintain the goodwill of the firm. (d)If the proper cash balance is maintained the business avail the cash discount by making prompt payment. (e)Adequacy of working capital ensures regular supply of raw materials and other components required for production. (f)Adequacy of working capital enables the business to face emergency situation.
78
Determinants of working capital: Working capital of a concern depends on number of factors. The requirements of working capital differ from firm to firm and time to time. Following are the various factors, which influence the need and level of working capital: (a) Nature of Business: The quantum of working capital requirement is closely related to the nature of business of the company, which, in turn, is related to the operating cycle for e.g.; in a bakery unit the requirement may be very low, as the operating cycle may be hardly for one or two days. Similarly, in case of an electric supply company or a transport company, or for a company which is still in the sellers market, the working capital requirement may be much less as the operating cycle will be much less as the operating cycle will be much shorter, mainly due to the fact that most of their sales will be in cash basis. And, so the whole time lag between credit sales and collection of bills will be saves. As against this, a company manufacturing heavy machines tools or turbines, will naturally be having a much longer operating cycle as it would be selling mostly ion credit, and, consequently would require a much higher level of working capital. The working capital requirement of a firm basically depends on the nature of business. There are some business which requires more amount of investment in fixed assets and less amount of working capital. Example public utility undertaking like electricity, water, etc. manufacturing industries, trading and financial firms etc. require more amount of working capital because funds are blocked up in inventories and account receivables. (b)Size of business The working capital requirement of a company is directly related to its size of operation; larger will be the need of working capital.
78
(c)Seasonal nature of business Seasonal variation in operation is another factor effecting working capital requirement. In certain case, raw material is not available throughout the year therefore during season. It is necessary to buy the material in bulk to ensure uninterrupted production throughout the year. More working capital required during seasonal time. Sometimes the consumption of finished product is seasonal in nature in such a case production is more during season. Seasonal industries, manufacturing fans and fridges, room heaters and geysers room coolers and air-conditioners, woolen cloths and blankets, may require a much higher level of working capital requirement in peak seasons, and much lower requirements during the slacks (off) seasons. That is why; the materials banks stipulate fluctuating working capital limits for such companies for peak and slack seasons. Example: Woolen products during winter etc

(A) Liquidity Ratios (Short Term Solvency) The liquidity refers to the maintenance of cash, bank balance and those assets which are easily convertible into cash in order to meet the current liabilities as and when arise. So, the liquidity ratio studies the firms short term solvency and its ability to pay off the current liabilities. The day to day problems of financial consists of highly important task finding sufficient cash to meet current obligation, the short-term liquidity risk arises primarily from the need to finance the current operations. These ratios as a group are intended to provide information about a firms liquidity at the primary concern is the firms ability to pay its current liabilities. These ratios focus on current assets and current liabilities. The liquidity ratio provides a quick measure of liquidity of the firm by establishing a relationship between its current assets and current liabilities. If a firm does not have sufficient liquidity it may not be in apposition to meet its commitments and thereby may loose its credit worthiness. These are also called balance sheet ratios because the information required is available in balance sheet only. (i) Current Ratio Current Ratio is relationship of current assets to current liabilities. The ratio is computed to assess the short-term financial position of the enterprise. It means Current Ratio is an indicator of the enterprise to meet its short term obligations. Current Assets means the asset that is either in the form of cash or cash equivalents or can be converted into cash or cash equivalents in a short time (say within a years time) and Current Liabilities means liabilities repayable in the short time. The ratio is calculated as follows: Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
78
Current Assets A balance sheet item which equals the sum of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, prepaid expenses, and other assets that could be converted to cash in less than one year. A company's creditors will often be interested in how much that company has in current assets, since these assets can be easily liquidated in case the company goes bankrupt. In addition, current assets are important to most companies as a source of funds for day-to-day operations. Current Liabilities A balance sheet item which equals the sum of all money owed by a company and due within one year. And it also called Payables or current debts.

Significance of Current Ratio
78
The Current Ratio measures short time solvency, i.e., its ability to meet short term obligations. A Current Ratio represents that short term assets which are just sufficient to meet short term obligations. Normally Current Ratio of less than 2 denotes poor liquidity position and Current Ratio of greater than 2 denotes good liquidity position but both these situations creates assets and liability miss-matches as current assets is financed from long term sources and Current Ratio less than 1 denotes that assets are not sufficient to meet short term liabilities. But Current Ratio greater than 1 is generally preferred as compared to less than 1. But the high Current Ratio may not always indicate better liquidity in case major part of Current Assets represents non-readily saleable inventories. Generally a Current Ratio of 2 times or 2:1 is considered to be satisfactory through this is not applicable to all cases. This standard Current Ratio may vary from one industry to another and therefore, a Firms Current Ratio should be compared with specific industry only. If its too high means too many current assets e.g. might have too much stock, could use the money tied up in current assets more effectively and If its too low you run the risk of not being able to meet current liabilities and you could have liquidity problems. Current Ratio= Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Interpretation: The current ratio reveals the business's ability to meet its current obligations. Above analysis shows that current ratio is decreasing in current year 2009. It means that the companys liabilities are increasing more, than the increase in assets; this increase is on account of advance received from custom against new contracts
(ii) Liquid Ratio
78
Liquid ratio is a relationship of liquid assets with current liabilities and is computed to assess the short term liquidity of the enterprise in its correct form. It is called Near Money Ratio. Liquid assets are the assets which are either in the form of cash equivalents or can be converted into cash within a very short period. Liquid assets are computed by deducting stock and prepaid expenses from total current assets. Liquid assets put the liabilities give the liquid ratio. This is calculated as follows: Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets or Quick Assets/Current Liabilities Here, Quick Assets = Current Assets-Stock-Prepaid Expenses Sometimes a variation in the ratio is suggested. Instead of total current liabilities only those current liabilities are taken in the denominators which are really payable with in a period of one year. So the amount of bank overdraft which is by nature a current liability but which is usually availed by the firm on more or less on regular basis and is not payable in real sense is therefore deducted from the amount of total current liabilities. So, Quick Ratio = Quick Assets/Quick Liabilities Here, Quick Liabilities=Current Liabilities-Bank Overdraft

78
Significance of Liquid Ratio The objective of computing liquid ratio is to assess the short term solvency of the enterprise. A part of the current assets are not readily realizable or convertible into cash. Therefore, the current ratio does not indicate adequately the ability of the enterprise to discharge the current liabilities as and when they fall due whereas while computing the liquid asset, a part of current assets that are not liquid are eliminated. This is better indicator of liquidity. This ratio is of high importance for banks and financial institutions. The comparison of current ratio to liquid ratio would indicate the degree of inventory held up. A high liquidity ratio compared to current ratio may indicate under stocking while a low liquid ratio indicates overstocking.

Interpretation: The ideal ratio is 1:1 whereas in this above case business is attaining the ideal ratio during the current year 2009. It means that the company has enough liquid cash to meet its current obligations.
78
(iii) Cash Ratio or Absolute Liquidity Ratio The ratio of a company's total cash and cash equivalents to its current liabilities. The cash ratio is most commonly used as a measure of company liquidity. It can therefore determine if, and how quickly, the company can repay its short-term debt. A strong cash ratio is useful to creditors when deciding how much debt, if any, they would be willing to extend to the asking party. The cash ratio is the most stringent and conservative of the three short-term liquidity ratios (current, quick and cash). It only looks at the most liquid short-term assets of the company, which are those that can be most easily used to pay off current obligations. It also ignores inventory and receivables, as there are no assurances that these two accounts can be converted to cash in a timely matter to meet current liabilities. Very few companies will have enough cash and cash equivalents to fully cover current liabilities, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, so don't focus on this ratio being above 1:1. The cash ratio is seldom used in financial reporting or by analysts in the fundamental analysis of a company. It is not realistic for a company to purposefully maintain high levels of cash assets to cover current liabilities. The reason being that it's often seen as poor asset utilization for a company to hold large amounts of cash on its balance sheet, as this money could be returned to shareholders or used elsewhere to generate higher returns. While providing an interesting liquidity perspective, the usefulness of this ratio is limited. Significance of Cash Ratio The cash ratio is generally a more conservative look at a company's ability to cover its liabilities than many other liquidity ratios. This is due to the fact that inventory and accounts receivable are left out of the equation. Since these two accounts are a large part of many companies, this ratio should not be used in determining company value, but simply as one factor in determining liquidity.
78
The cash ratio is an indicator of a company's liquidity that further refines both the current ratio and the quick ratio by measuring the amount of cash; cash equivalents or invested funds there are in current assets to cover current liabilities. Cash Ratio=Cash + Marketable securities/Current Liabilities

Interpretation: The Cash Ratio of 0.04 times for the current year 2009 says that the company is not in the position to very quickly liquidate its assets and cover its short-term liabilities. But there no such liquidity need for the company and so the small value of the ratio has no such important implications. (The ratio is of interest to short-term creditors).
78
(B) Market Based Ratio The market based ratio relates the firms stock price to its earning and book value per share. These ratio give management an indication of what investor thinks of the companys past performance and future prospects. (i) Earning Per Share The objective of Financial Management is wealth or value maximization of a corporate entity. The value is maximized when market price of equity shares is maximized. In practice, the performance of a corporation is better judged in terms of its earning per share (EPS). The EPS is one of the important measures of economic performance of a corporate entity. Investors would look upon the EPS as the best base to take their investment decisions. A higher EPS means better capital productivity. It is the earnings of the company attributable to the equity shareholders divided by the number of equity shares. In other words, this ratio measures the earnings available to an equity shareholder on per share basis. It is computed with the help of the following formula: Earning Per Share = NPAT & Preference Dividend Number of Equity Shares
Significance of Earning Per Share EPS is one of the most important ratios which measures the net profit earned per share. EPS is one of the major factors affecting the dividend policy of the firm and the market prices of the company. Growth in EPS is more relevant for pricing of shares from absolute EPS. A steady growth in EPS year after year indicates a good track of profitability. This ratio helps in evaluating the prevailing market price of share in the light of profit-earning capacity. The more the Earning Per Share, better is the performance and prospects of the company.

Interpretation: A steady growth in Earning Per Share (EPS) year after year indicates a good track of profitability. Here growth of EPS for `24.67 in the current year 2009 shows that company maintains a better capital productivity.
78
(ii) Dividend Per Share (DPS) It is the distributed profit (Net Profit after Interest & Preference Dividend) belonging to the shareholders, dividend by the number of equity shares. In other words, it reveals the amount of dividend paid to the equity shareholders on a per share basis. It cannot be considered as a reliable measure of profitability. Dividends are a form of profit distribution to the shareholder. Having a growing dividend per share can be a sign that the company's management believes that the growth can be sustained. Dividend Per Share (DPS) = Dividends/Number of equity shares ( Amount in )
Dividend Per Share(DPS)=Dividends paid to equity shareholders Numbers of Equity Shares 2008 2009 (i)Dividends paid to equity shareholders: 70,845,000 70,845,000 (ii)No of Equity Share (in numbers): (i)+(ii)Dividend Per Share: 9,094,400 7.79094827586 9,094,400 7.79094827586

(iii) Dividend Payout Ratio Dividend payout ratio is the dividend per share dividend by the earning per share. Dividend payout indicates the extent of the net profits distributed to the shareholders as dividend. A high payout signifies a liberal distribution policy and a low payout reflects conservative distribution policy. Significance of Dividend Payout Ratio When the D/P ratio is deducted from 100, it will disclose the percentage share of the net profit retained in the business. For instance, if the net profit after taxes and preference dividends are `10,00,000 and dividend paid to the equity shareholders amount to `6,00,000, the D/P ratio is 60%.This reveals that 40% of the profit are retained in the business and only 60% are distributed as dividend. This only show that 60% of the net profits are utilized for dividend and the balance of 40% are ploughed back. The D/P ratio is a popular ratio. A comparison of this ratio with that of similar firms reflects the adequacy of dividend payment to equity shareholders.

Interpretation: In this analysis I found that the current years Dividend Payout Ratio tends to decrease as compare to the previous year and here I can say that low Dividend Payout Ratio reflects conservative distribution policy. (iv) Book Value Per Share This ratio indicates the net worth per equity share. The book value is a reflection of the past earnings and the distribution policy of the company. A high book value indicates that a company has huge reserves and is a potential bonus candidate. A low book value signifies a liberal distribution of policy of bonus and dividends, or alternatively, a poor track record of profitability. Book value is considered less relevant for the market price as compared to EPS, as it reflects the past record whereas the market discounts the future prospects.

(vi) Earning Yield Ratio Earnings yield is a measurement ratio that is often used by investment managers or stock market investors to evaluate the worth of a particular stock. The earnings yield equals a corporations earnings per share divided by the current share price. In this context, the term earnings per share simply refers to the amount of new profits attributable to each outstanding share of the corporations common stock. This Ratio expresses the relationship between earning per share and market price per share. It is also known as earning price ratio. Earning Yield Ratio = Earning Per Share/ Market Price Per Share
(vii) Dividend Yield Ratio This ratio reflects the percentage yield that an investor receives on this investment at the current market price of the shares. This measures is useful for investors who are interested in yield per share rather than capital appreciation. Dividend yield ratio is the relationship between dividends per share and the market value of the shares. Significance of Dividend Yield Ratio This ratio helps as intending investor knows the effective return he is going to get on the proposed investment. Dividend Yield Ratio = Dividend Per Share/ Market Value Per Share
78
(viii) Market Price To Book Value Ratio This ratio measures the relationship between the accounting value of the firms assets and the market price of its stock. The ratio is calculated by dividing the stock price per share by the book value of share. Market Price To Book Value Ratio = Market Price Per Share Book Value per Share Where, Book Value Per Share = Equity Sh Capital + Res & Surplus Number of Equity Shares Generally, the higher the rate of return a firm is earning on its common equity the higher will be the P/BV ratio. In case of growth firms etc. firms with higher growth of sales and earnings will have this ratio higher than 1, for the reason that the potential future growth in earnings is reflected bin the current stock price. Where as the book value of equity share is based on historical costs and it does not considered the potential growth. (ix) Price Earning Ratio: This ratio indicates the market price of equity share to the earning per share. It measures the number of times the earning per share discounts the market price of equity per share. Price Earning Ratio = Market Price Per Equity Share Earning Per Share This ratio indicates how much an investor is prepared to pay per rupee of earning. The ratio helps to ascertain the value of equity share, if the EPS and the probable Price Earning Ratio of the industry to which the company belongs. A ratio reflects high earning potential and a low ratio indicates Low earning potential. The ratio reflects the market confidence on companys equity.
78
(C) Dividend Coverage Ratio This ratio measures the ability of the firm to pay preference shares, dividend and equity dividend. Unlike interest which is charged on profit the dividend is treated as appropriation of profit. It indicates him number of time the dividends are covered by net profit and reveals the safety margin available for shareholders. Higher the ratio the better it is. There are two types of dividend cover (i) preference dividend cover and (ii) Equity dividend cover. (i) Preference Dividend Coverage Ratio This Ratio indicates the number of time preference dividend is covered by net profit after interest and tax. Preference Dividend Coverage Ratio = NPAT & Interest Preference Dividend (ii) Equity Dividend Coverage Ratio This Ratio indicates the number of time equity dividends is covered by net profit after interest, tax and preference dividend. Equity Dividend Coverage Ratio = PAT & Pref. Dividend Equity Dividend
Cover for the Equity Dividend=PAT & Pref. Dividend Equity Dividend 2008 2009 (i) Profit After Tax & Preference Dividend 175,319,000 224,355,000 (ii)Equity Dividend (i)/(ii) Cover for the Equity Dividend 70,845,000 2.47468416966 70,845,000 3.16684310819

78
(E) Profitability Ratios: The profitability ratios are the basic bank financial ratios. Profitability ratios are the financial statement ratios which focus on how well a business is performing in terms of profit. Profitability ratios measure how well a company is performing by analyzing how profit was earned relative to sales, total assets and net worth. D&B uses three key financial business ratios to measure a companys efficiency. Based on Sales (i) Gross Margin Ratio This is known as Gross Margin Ratio and is expressed as the relationship of Gross Profit to Net Sales. This is also called Turnover Ratio or Margin Ratio. This ratio is normally expressed in. Gross Margin Ratio = Gross Margin X 100 Turnover
Significance of Gross Profit Ratio It is useful to test the profitability management efficiency. The higher the ratio the better it is. As it implies that cost of goods sold of the firm is relatively low. But a very high ratio may also be the result of over valuation of closing or under valuation of opening stock. But a low ratio is definitely having more adverse effect on the working of the business and it contributes towards increase in cost of production and indicates the low sales which reflect the low demand of companys product. If gross profit margin is low, lesser amount of profit is available for the declaring dividends and meeting other overheads of the company Low Gross Profit Ratio also indicates over investment in companys fixed assets. Generally, 20% to 30% gross profit margin is considered to be adequate for a business concern to meet its fixed obligations, dividends and all other appropriations.
78
Gross Margin Ratio = Gross Margin X 100 Turnover 2008 2009 (i) Gross Margin: 236,909,000 285,875,000 (ii) Turnover: 8,723,604,000 9,587,053,000 (i)/(ii)x100 Gross Margin Ratio(In %) : 2.715723914 2.981886091

78
(ii) Net Profit Ratio: This also known as Profit Margin Ratio and also expressed as percentage. It measures the relationship between Net Profit to Sales. Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit (After Tax) X 100 Turnover
A high net profit margin ensure adequate return to the owner as well as enables a firm to withstand adverse, economic conditions, when selling prices are declining, cost of production is rising and demand of product is falling. This ratio measures the efficiency of the management in generating additional revenue over and above the total cost of operation. Significance of Net Profit Ratio This ratio indicates the net result of the working of the company during the period and reveals the overall profitability of the concern. It shows how effectively the firm maintains control over the total expenses. Higher the ratio the better it is because available residual income for shareholders is more.

78
(F) Solvency Ratios (Capital Structures Ratios): A capital structure ratio indicates the long-term solvency position of the company. Basically there are two broad sources of funds-long term creditors and shareholder funds. The long term creditors would judge the soundness of the firm judge the soundness of the firms on the basis of long term long term financial strength measures in terms of firms ability to pay the interest regularly as well as to repay the principle amount in instalments or lump sum on the due dates. (i) Equity Ratio This ratio is also known Net Worth to Total Asset Ratio. This ratio is used to study the capitalization of a concern. This ratio indicates proportion of total assets financed by shareholders fund. High ratio predicts those shareholder funds are tied up in non-liquid, permanent and depreciable assets. Normally, higher ratio indicates sound financial position and low ratio indicates unsound financial position. Equity Ratio = Shareholders Funds X 100 Total Asset

78
(G) Activity/Efficiency (Turnover) Ratios (i) Asset Turnover Ratio This ratio indicates how efficiently assets are used in the business to generate turnover. This ratio can be calculated as: Asset Turnover = Sales (turnover)/ Net Assets Here, Net assets = Total assets current liabilities
Asset Turnover = Sales (turnover)/ Net Assets (i) Turnover: (ii) Total Assets: (iii) Current Liabilities: (ii)-(iii) Net Assets: (i)/(ii-iii) Asset Turnover Ratio (In times): 8,510,551,000 9,587,053,000 28,182,395,000 38,032,464,000 27,115,139,044 36,813,185,526 1,067,255,956 1,219,278,474 7.97423612597 7.86289039332

78
This is another efficiency ratio. This looks at how long it takes for the business to get back money it is owed Debtors collection ratio = debtors x 365 / turnover. The lower the figure the better as get cash more quickly. However sometimes need to offer credit terms to customers so this may increase its need to ensure keep track of any changes in credit terms as these should impact this ratio. Debtors collection ratio = Debtors x 365 / Turnover
( Amount in )
Debtors collection ratio = Debtors x 365 / Turnover

Interpretation:
78
This looks at how long it takes for the business to get back money it is owed the lower the figure indicates the better as get cash more quickly. So, the company is doing better job in order to decrease their DCP.
LIMITATIONS
78
Comparing ratio over time is complicated by the fact that economic condition may change also. Comparing ratio between two firms is complicated by the fact that the firm may have different environments or production technologies even though they produce the same product..
Ratios are subjected to the limitations of accounting methods. Different accounting choices may result in significantly different ratio values. Company cannot make any future plan only the basis of ratios.
Most ratios by themselves are not highly meaningful. They should be viewed as indicators, with several of them combined to paint a picture of the firms situation
FINDINGS
78
The company has fewer current assets to meet its current liabilities in comparison to the previous year 2008. In this analysis I found that the company has enough liquid cash to meet its current obligation. The company has fewer Cash ratio to meet its current liabilities in comparison to the previous year 2008.
The steady growth of EPS for `24.67 in the current year 2009
shows that company maintains better capital productivity.

DPS indicates that both the years company provides a constant
dividend. In this analysis I found that the company provides lesser Dividend Payout Ratio in compare to the last year which is not a good sign for attracting more shareholders
Increase in Book Value Per Share indicates that a company has
huge reserves and is a potential bonus candidate.

The cash earning per share is increased by ` 5.25 which is a
good sign for any company. In the present year of 2009 DCR ratio is increased by 0.7, which is best in comparison to the previous years. In this analysis I found that the Total liabilities and shareholders fund both increases in year 2009 in comparison to year 2008 but the ratio is increasing, this means that the business is utilizing the shareholders fund rather than other sources of funds
The gross profit & net profit of the company is increasing in the
year 2009 as compare to the year 2008, which is good for any business. In the present year of 2007 ROE ratio is increased by 2.13%, which is best in comparison to the previous years.
78
Net working capital shows the investment of own capital into the
business. The above data show that the amount of own capital employed in the business is less. As compare to last year this years Equity Ratio decreased by 0.62%. A low percentage indicates inadequate or low safety cover for the creditors.
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

78
Company should increase the liquidity ratio by reducing its liabilities.

Quick assets of the company are reducing in comparison to
liabilities since last year. Company should control its quick assets from further reducing. Company is utilizing the funds from other sources as their working capital instead of using own funds, company can improve its working capital by utilizing their own funds.
Gross Profit margin of the company is very low of 2.98%;
company should take strong measures to improve the margin. There is scope for improvement for Return on equity, company take necessary steps to improve the same. From assets turnover ratio it is apparent that company is not able to manage its assets properly in order to generate sales, we strongly recommend that strong action should be taken to utilize the assets properly.
Although company has improved its Debtor Collection Period
but there is ample scope to improve further, a task force should be employed in this direction.
