• Ratio Analysis and Interpretation: (based on vertical form of financial statements) including conventional and
functional classification restricted to:
• Balance sheet ratios: Current ratio, Liquid Ratio, Stock Working capital ratio, Proprietory ratio, Debt Equity Ratio,
Capital Gearing Ratio.
• Revenue statement ratios: Gross profit ratio, Expenses ratio, Operating ratio, Net profit ratio, Net Operating Profit
Ratio, Stock turnover Ratio, Debtors Turnover, Creditors Turnover Ratio
• Combined ratios: Return on capital Employed (including Long term borrowings), Return on Proprietors fund
(Shareholder fund and Preference Capital), Return on Equity Capital, Dividend Payout Ratio, Debt Service Ratio
• Different modes of expressing ratios: Rate, Ratio, Percentage, Number. Limitations of the use of Ratios.
A. Balance Sheet Ratios:
1. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
2. Liquid Ratio = (Current Assets – Stock – Prepaid Exp) / Current Liabilities – BOD
3. Stock Working Capital Ratio = Stock / Working Capital *100
4. Proprietary Ratio = (Shareholders' Equity + Preference Capital) / Total Assets * 100
5. Debt Equity Ratio = BF / SHF
6. Capital Gearing Ratio = Capital bearing Fixed Returns / Capital bearing Fluctuating Returns
2. Comparability Issues
• Different companies use different accounting methods (e.g., FIFO vs. LIFO inventory valuation), making direct comparisons misleading.
• Variations in financial reporting standards across countries can affect ratio accuracy.
3. Historical Focus
• Ratios are based on past financial statements and may not reflect current or future conditions.
• Rapid market changes can make historical data less relevant.
4. Inflation Effects
• Inflation can distort financial statements, making comparisons over time unreliable.
• Asset values may be understated or overstated, affecting ratios like Return on Assets (ROA).
6. One-Dimensional View
• A single ratio does not provide a complete picture of a company’s financial health.
• Multiple ratios must be analyzed together to get meaningful insights.
8. Industry Differences
• What is considered a "good" ratio varies by industry (e.g., a high debt ratio is normal for capital-intensive industries but risky for others).
• Industry benchmarks must be considered for meaningful interpretation.
