their cross sectional analysis. The importance of implication of farsighted planning and effective
financial management are the secret to operating a successful financial business or a public

can look at their ratio analysis to determine which company is safest bet with maximum return.
All companies are not of same stature in size, might not be even in the same industry. So in
order to understand them better and compare between them, financial ratios are very useful
and necessary which are valuable inclusion to the financial statements.

Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios measure a company's ability to pay its short-term debt obligations. Liquidity
refers to the solvency of the firms overall financial position. These ratios establish relation
between cash and other current asset and current liabilities. Low liquidity ratio is an early
warning of financial distress and bankruptcy.
Current Ratio

more value it has is the better.

Quick Ratio
Quick ratio is very much same to the current ratio; the only difference is that in quick ratio we
have to deduct inventories. Many times inventories cannot be sold and some inventories sold
on credit and its take time to turn into cash. By the help of quick ratio, a company can measure
liquidity when company or firm faces direst need of liquidity. So the more value it has is the
better.

Asset Management Efficiency Ratio
Inventory Turnover
It helps a firm to define the liquidity of a firm’s inventory. Inventory turnover is a ratio showing
how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period of time. The days in
the period can then be divided by the inventory turnover formula to calculate the days it takes
to sell the inventory on hand. It is calculated as sales divided by average inventory. So the more
value it has is the better.

interest with it’s before tax income, so obviously the larger ratios are considered more
favorable than smaller ratios. So the higher value is the better.

on Equity. But when we do the DuPont analysis we get that it has negative Profit margin
& very low Total Asset Turnover. That means, though This company has high Return on
Equity but it’s actually performing very bad as Profit Margin is negative.
Here we can see that FU WANG FOODS LTD. Has very good amount of Return on Equity.
When we do the DuPont analysis we get that FU WANG FOODS LTD. has very good

Conclusion
The purpose of finance is to maximize the profit of the shareholders so that they have the
incentive to invest more. Now thinking from a financial manager’s perspective, it’s also our duty
to suggest our potential stockholders to buy stocks which will yield them maximum profit
bearing minimum risks; following the primary rules i.e., keeping the risk same, targeting more
profit or downsizing risk and keeping the target profit same.
From the above analysis we see that MEGHNA CONDENSED MILK LTD. Is doing worse than FU
WANG Foods Ltd. in terms of liquidity, asset management debt and profitability. FU WANG
Foods Ltd. is doing far better than MEGHNA CONDENSED MILK LTD.
Ratio analysis is just numbers derived from the numbers obtained from the annual reports.
It really doesn’t mean much till we interpret and analyze them the way it should be. A good
policy is to judge the ratios to some standards, which could be anything; from industry
average to the trend of how the particular has done over the last few years. Usually analysis
of the ratio is done over 4 different classifications which in turns provide different kinds of
information each; liquidity, turnover, profitability and debt. And to compare them against
standardized results should be good idea of which industry averages could be a good
example. But then again we need the industry performance information for that.
