INTRODUCTION

The term ratio analysis refers to the analysis of the financial statements in
conjunction with the interpretations of financial results of a particular period of
operations, derived with the help of 'ratio'. Ratio analysis is used to determine the
financial soundness of a business concern.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is a conceptual technique which dates back to the inception of
accounting, as a concept. Financial analysis as a scientific tool is used to carry out the
calculations in the area of accounting. In order to appraise the valid and existent worth of
an enterprise, financial tool comes handy, regularly. Besides, it also allows the firms to
observe the performance spanning across a long period of time along with the
impediments and shortcomings. Financial analysis is an essential mechanism for a clear
interpretation of financial statements. It aids the process of discovering, the existence of
any cross-sectional and time series linkages between various ratios.

DEFINITION
Ratio analysis is defined as. "The systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial
statement so that the strength and weakness of the firm as well as its historical
performance and current financial condition can be determined.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To know the financial performance based on ratios.
To pinpoint the direction with which the organization is moving.

To know the financial position of the B.D.K. Process Control Private Ltd.

To know the liquidity position of the B.D.K. Process Control Private Ltd.

To assess the long-term viability of the firm.

Research Methodology:
A) Primary Data
1) Annual reports.
2) Company Website.
B) Secondary data: Secondary data consists of readily available information in different
financial texts and company database. And also through annual reports of the company.

Analysis of Ratio
Analysis using ratios can be done in following ways.

Analysis of an individual (or) Single Ratio

Analysis of referring to a Group of Ratio

Analysis of ratios by Trend

Analysis by inter-firm comparison

Advantages Of Ratio Analysis:

Ratio analysis is widely used as a powerful tool of financial statement analysis. It
establishes the numerical or quantitative relationship between two figures of a financial
statement to ascertain strengths and weaknesses of a firm as well as its current financial
position and historical performance. It helps various interested parties to make an
evaluation of certain aspect of a firms performance.

1. Forecasting and Planning:

The trend in costs, sales, profits and other facts can be known by computing ratios of
relevant accounting figures of last few years. This trend analysis with the help of ratios
may be useful for forecasting and planning future business activities.

2. Budgeting:
Budget is an estimate of future activities on the basis of past experience. Accounting
ratios help to estimate budgeted figures. For example, sales budget may be prepared with
the help of analysis of past sales.
3. Measurement of Operating Efficiency:
Ratio analysis indicates the degree of efficiency in the management and utilisation of its
assets. Different activity ratios indicate the operational efficiency. In fact, solvency of a
firm depends upon the sales revenues generated by utilizing its assets.
4. Communication:
Ratios are effective means of communication and play a vital role in informing the
position of and progress made by the business concern to the owners or other parties.
5. Control of Performance and Cost:
Ratios may also be used for control of performances of the different divisions or
departments of an undertaking as well as control of costs.
6. Inter-firm Comparison:
Comparison of performance of two or more firms reveals efficient and inefficient firms,
thereby enabling the inefficient firms to adopt suitable measures for improving their
efficiency. The best way of inter-firm comparison is to compare the relevant ratios of the
organization with the average ratios of the industry.
7. Indication of Liquidity Position:

Ratio analysis helps to assess the liquidity position i.e., short-term debt paying ability of a
firm. Liquidity ratios indicate the ability of the firm to pay and help in credit analysis by
banks, creditors and other suppliers of short-term loans.

8. Indication of Long-term Solvency Position:

Ratio analysis is also used to assess the long-term debt-paying capacity of a firm. Longterm solvency position of a borrower is a prime concern to the long-term creditors,
security analysts and the present and potential owners of a business. It is measured by the
leverage/capital structure and profitability ratios which indicate the earning power and
operating efficiency. Ratio analysis shows the strength and weakness of a firm in this
respect.
9. Indication of Overall Profitability:
The management is always concerned with the overall profitability of the firm. They
want to know whether the firm has the ability to meet its short-term as well as long-term
obligations to its creditors, to ensure a reasonable return to its owners and secure
optimum utilization of the assets of the firm. This is possible if all the ratios are
considered together.
10. Signal of Corporate Sickness:
A company is sick when it fails to generate profit on a continuous basis and suffers a
severe liquidity crisis. Proper ratio analysis can give signal of corporate sickness in
advance so that timely measures can be taken to prevent the occurrence of such sickness.
11. Aid to Decision-making:
Ratio analysis helps to take decisions like whether to supply goods on credit to a firm,
whether bank loans will be made available etc.

12. Simplification of Financial Statements:

Ratio analysis makes it easy to grasp the relationship between various items and helps in
understanding the financial statements.

LIMITATION OF RATIO ANALYSIS:Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. Though ratios are simple to
calculate and easy to understand, they suffer from some serious limitations:

1. Limited use of Single Ratio:A single ratio usually does not convey much of a sense. To make a better interpretation a
number of ratios have to be calculated which is likely to confuse the analyst than help
him in making any meaningful conclusion.

2. Lack of Adequate Standards:There are no well accepted standards or rules of thumb for all ratios which can be
accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of the ratio difficult.

3. Change of Accounting Procedure:Change in accounting procedure by a firm often makes ratio analysis misleading e.g. a
change in the valuation of methods of inventories, from FIFO to LIFO increases the cost
of sales and reduces considerably the value of closing stocks which makes stock turnover
ratio to be lucrative and an unfavorable gross profit ratio.

4. Window Dressing:-

Financial statements easily can be window dressed to present a better picture of its
financial and profitability position to outsiders. Hence one has to be very careful in
making a decision from ratios calculated from such financial statements. But it may be
very difficult for an outsider to know about the window dressing made by a firm.

5. Personal Bias:Ratio is only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself. Ratios have to be
interpreted and different people may interpret the same ratio in different ways.

6. Incomparable:Not only industries differ in their nature but also the firms of the similar business widely
differ in their size and accounting procedure etc.. It makes comparison of ratios difficult
and misleading. Moreover, comparisons are made difficult due to differences in
definitions of various financial terms used in the ratio analysis.

7. Absolute Figures Distortive:Ratios devoid of absolute figures may prove distortive as ratio analysis is primarily a
quantitative analysis and not a qualitative analysis.

8. Price Level Changes:While making ratio analysis, no consideration is made to the changes in price levels and
this makes the interpretation of ratios invalid.

9. Ratios No Substitutes:Ratio analysis is merely a tool of financial statements. Hence, ratios become useless if
separated from the statements from which they are computed.

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO

:-

This is a measure of the protection available to creditors for payment of interest charges
by the company. The ratio shows whether the company has sufficient income to cover its
interest requirements by a wide margin. The interest coverage ratio is computed by
dividing profit before interest and tax by the interest expenses.

DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO:

Debtors constitute an important constituent of current assets and therefore the quality of
debtors to great extent determines that firms liquidity. There are two ratios. They are:

It is used to determine how easily a company can pay

interest on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing
a companys EBIT by the interest expenses.

A measure of a companys financial leverage calculated

by dividing its total liabilities by stockholders equity.
The debt/equity ratio also depends on the industry in
which the company operates.

An indicator of how efficient management is at using its

assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a
companys annual earnings by its total assets
Also called Return on net worth, it measures a
companys profitability by revealing how much profit a
company generates with the money shareholders have
invested, it is calculated by dividing the net profit after
tax by shareholder's fund For high growth companies
you should expect a higher ROE.

The company earns a profit of Rs. 4,00,000 before interest. Tax rate may be taken 50%. You are
required to:
(A) Explain the principles of Trading on Equity and Test the data for the principle.
(B) Elaborate the impact of changes in EBIT, both increase and decrease, on Return on capital employed
(ROCE) and Return on equity (ROE) with suitable examples, making the required valid assumption.
(B.U. (MBA) - 2003)
Solution:
(A) The process of using the debt in capital employed to magnify the return of equity shareholders
is called Trading on Equity.
The extent of benefit of debt depends on capital gearing ratio. If capital gearing of the company is
more than one, with the increase of EBIT, there would be a similar corresponding increase in ROCE.
Similarly, ROE also increases. But, the important point is the % increase of ROE would be more than %
increase of EBIT. The reverse also is true. To explain further, if EBIT increases by 10%, ROCE increases
by 10%. But, ROE increases more than by 10%. If EBIT falls by 10%, the ROCE also falls, similarly, by
10%. But, ROE falls more than 10%.

For this reason, trading on equity is said to be double-edged sword.

The capital-gearing ratio can be ascertained as under:
Capital Gearing Ratio = (Preference Share Capital + Debentures) / (Equity Share Capital + Reserves
and Surplus)

4,00,000 + 8, 00, 000

6,00,000 + 2,00,000

= 2,00,000
Tax @ 30% = 60,000
** EBIT does not include income from Treasury Bonds as it is non-operating income. So, total assets, also, should not
include the relevant assets Treasury Bonds. When income is excluded, relevant assets of
that income are also to be excluded for proper matching.
