RATIO

“One of the most importance methods of analysis of financial statement is Ratio Analysis”. Ratio Analysis is a in numerical figure which is used to find out relationship between different statements. Single statement carries no meaning. if relationship between various related items in these financial statements are established they can provide useful clue to gauge accurately the financial health and ability of business to make profit. this relation between the two related items of financial statements is known as ratios.

For example, if there are two companies A and B.current assets and current liabilities of company A are 200000 and 100000 respectively and of company B are 300000 and 100000 respectively. The current ratio will be;

CURRENT ASSETSCURRENT RATIO = CURRENT LIABILITIES

24

Page 25: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

For company A current ratio will be 2:1 and for company B current ratio will be 3:1.so we can find out company B is doing well in comparison to company A. so the financial position of company B is stronger.

RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. The relation between two accounting figures, expressed mathematically, is known as Financial Ratio. In financial analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark for evaluating the financial position and performance of a firm. From the ratio analysis one can get further insight about financial strength and weaknesses of the firm. Management, creditors, investors and others calculate the ratio to form judgment about the operating performance and financial position of the firm.

The absolute accounting figures reported in the financial statement do not provide a meaningful understanding of the performance and financial position of a firm. An accounting figure conveys the meaning when it is related to some other relevant information.

Thus, the financial analysis is the starting point for making plans, before using any sophisticated forecasting and planning procedure.

Here in this project report following ratios is calculated to judge

the financial position of the company.

Page 28: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS

The use of the ratios was started by banks for ascertaining the liquidity and profitability of companies’ business for the purpose of advancing loans to them. It gradually became popular and other creditors began to use them profitably. Now even the investors calculate ratios from the published accounts of the company in order to have an idea about the solvency and profitability of the company before investing their savings. The ratio analysis provides useful data to the management, which would help them in taking important policy decisions. Diverse groups of people make use of ratios, to determine a particular aspect of the financial position of the company, in which they are interested.

Profitability:

Useful information about the trend of profitability is available from profitability ratios. The gross profit ratio, net profit ratio and ratio of return on investment give a good idea of the profitability of business. On the basis of these ratios, investor get an idea about the overall efficiency of business, the management gets an idea about the

28

Page 29: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

efficiency of managers and banks as well as other creditors draw useful conclusions about repaying capacity of the borrowers.

Liquidity:

In fact, the use of ratios was made initially to ascertain the liquidity of business. The current ratio, liquid ratio, and acid-test ratio will tell whether the business will be able to meet its current liabilities as and when they mature. Banks and other lenders will be able to conclude from these ratios whether the firm will be able to pay regularly the interest and loan installments.

Efficiency:

The turnover ratios are excellent guides to measure the efficiency of managers. E. g. the stock turnover will indicate how efficiently the sale is being made, the debtor turnover will indicate the efficiency of collection department and assets turnover shows the efficiency with which the assets are used in business. All such ratios related to sales present a good picture of the success or otherwise of the business.

Inter-firm Comparison:

The absolute ratios of a firm are not of much use, unless they are compared with similar ratios of other firms belonging to the same industry. This is inter-firm comparison, which shows the strength and weakness of the firms as compared to other firms and will indicate corrective measures.

Indicate trend:

The ratios of the last three to five years will indicate the trend in the respective fields. For examples, the current ratio of a firm is lower

29

Page 30: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

than the industry average, but if the ratios of last five years show an improving trend, it is an encouraging trend. Reverse may also be true. A particular ratio of a company for one year may compare favorably with industry average but, if its trend shows a deteriorating position, it is not desirable. Only ratio analysis will provide this information.

Useful for budgetary Control:

Regular budgetary reports are prepared in a business where the system of budgetary control is in use. If various ratios are presented in these reports, it will give a fairly good idea about various aspects of financial position.

Useful for decision-making:

Ratios guide the management in making some of the important decisions. Suppose the liquidity ratios show an unsatisfactory position, the management may decide to get additional liquid funds. Even for capital expenditure decisions, the ratio of return on investment will guide the management. The efficiency of various departments can be judged on the basis of their profitability ratios and efficiency of each department can thus be determined.

30

Page 31: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

LIMITATIONS OF THE RATIOANALYSIS

Anyone who draws any conclusion on the basis of accounting ratios about the financial conditions and earning capacity of the business must take account of the following limitations of ratios:

Single Year’s Ratios Have Limited Utility:

The utility of ratios computed from the financial statements of one year only is obviously limited. They must be compared with the past results of the company as also with the results of other business firms in the same industry.

Other Factors Must Be Considered:

While comparing ratios of different firms, it must be remembered that different firms follow different accountancy plans and polices. For example, some way use a straight line method of depreciation, while other may make use of diminishing balance method. Hence, great care

31

Page 32: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

has to be exercised before only conclusions are drawn from such comparison.

Limited Utility of Historical Ratio:

While comparing ratios of past several years, it should be remembered that changes in price level may render such comparison useless. An asset purchased some 10 years before may be shown its historical value and comparison of these assets with sales may be of no value as sales are expressed in current market value.

Use of One Ratio Misleading:

One ratio used without reference to other ratios may be misleading. If some conclusions are to be drawn, then the combined effect of a few related ratios must be considered.

Lack of Standard Ratios

There is practically no standard ratio against which the actual performance can be compared. The satisfactory level of various ratios may differ from one industry to another only because circumstances differ from industry to industry and even from firm to firm.

Other Factors Important:

Financial results of the business depend upon a number of factors such as general economic conditions and competition, local factors and the policy adopted by the management. Hence before giving any

32

Page 33: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

opinion on the basis of accounting ratios all such factors must be kept in mind.

Inaccurate Base:

The accounting ratios can never be more correct than the information from which they are computed. If the accounting data is not accurate, the accounting ratios based on these figures would give misleading results.

Investigation Necessary :

It must be remembered that accounting ratios are only a preliminary step in investigation. They suggest areas were investigation or inquiry is necessary. Hence before taking any action on the basis of accounting ratios, a rigorous investigation must be made.

INTERPRETATION OF RATIOS

The interpretation of ratios is an important factor. Through calculation is also important but it is only a clerical task whereas interpretation needs skills, intelligence and foresightedness. The interpretation of the ratios can be done in the following ways.

Single Absolute Ratio: Generally speaking one cannot draw meaningful conclusions when a single ratio is considered in isolation. But single ratios may be studied in relation to certain rules of thumb which are based upon well proven contentions.

Groups of Ratio: Ratios may be interpreted by calculating a group of related ratios. A single ratio supported by related additional ratios becomes more understandable and meaningful.

33

Page 34: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

Historical Comparisons: One of the easiest and most popular ways of Evaluating the performance of the firm is to compare its present ratios with the past ratios called comparison over time.

Projected Ratios: Ratios can also be calculated for future standard based upon the projected financial statements. Ratio calculation on actual financial statements can be used for comparison with the standard ratios to find out variance, if any. Such variance helps in interpreting and taking corrective action for improvement in future.

Inter firm Comparison: Ratios of one firm can also be compared with the ratios of some other selected firms in the same industry at the same industry at the same point of time

RATI OS

1) CURRENT RATIO:

a. Meaning: - This ratio establishes relationship between current assets and current liabilities. It indicates working capital of the firm.

Current Liabilities :-Current Liabilities mean the liabilities which are expected to be mature within a year or short period of time and included the following:

Creditors Bills payable Short term loan and advances Provision for taxation Bank overdraft Income received in advance

d. Calculation : - This ratio is calculated by divided the current assets by the current liabilities. This ratio is usually express as a pure ratio. E.g. 2:1 is known as pure ratio. In the form of the formula this ratio may be express as under.

Current assets Current ratio = Current liabilities

Particulars 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10Current Assets 9,26,19,952 11,15,94,634 163,344,423Current Liabilities

Ratio 0.39:1 0.48:1 0.71:1

35

Page 36: Maharashtra Scooter Limited-final

e. Interpretation:-

Here we can see that in the year 2007-08 the current ratio was 0.39 and then it increased to 0.48 in the year 2008-09 and to 0.71 in the year 2009-10. So the working capital of the company is better and sound.

Ratio 0.37:1 0.45:1 0.68:1

d. Interpretation:-

Here we can see that in the year 2007-08 the liquid ratio was 0.37 which increased to 0.45 in 2008-09 and increased to 0.68 in 2009-10 which shows that the company liquidity position is very sound company is having good liquidity.

3) GROSS PROFIT RATIO: a. Meaning :- This ratio measures the relationship between gross profit

and net sales.

37
