The return on capital employed of Total Petroleum Ghana limited was 41.15% in
2016, representing a reduction of from 2015 figure of 48.03%.
This was because of a reduction in profit before interest and tax of and an increase
in capital employed. The reduction in profit before interest and tax was mainly due
to a reduction in sales revenue due to the challenging economic environment
experienced by the company in 2016, which led to lower sales volumes, higher
fixed operating and depreciation of the cedi.
In 2016, there has been an increase in Gross profit and Operating profit margins
from 8.81% to 9.72% and 3.88% to 3.94% respectively even though the sales
revenue decrease by GHS 134,502.
This is mainly because of efficient and effective management of cost of sales and
operating cost.
The asset turnover (a measure of assets utilization) has fallen from 4.13 in 2015 to
3.31 in 2016 this partly and relatively responsible for the deterioration in
performance.

Liquidity Formula 2016 2015 %Change
Current ratio Current assets/ Current liabilities 0.77 0.89 (0.12)
Quick ratio Current Assets-inventory/Current 0.56 0.59 (0.03)
liabilities

The current ratio decreased from 0.89 times in 2015 to 0.77 times in 2016. This
means that the company’s current assets could not settle their liabilities within

period under review. Generally a low current ration could suggest problems with
inventory management, ineffective standard for collecting receivables.
A liquid asset is one that trades in an active market and hence can be quickly
converted to cash at the going market price, and a firm’s “liquidity ratios” deal with
this question: Will the firm be able to pay off its debts as they come due over the
next year or so?
Current assets normally include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable,
and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable, short-term notes
payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued taxes, and other accrued
expenses (principally wages).
This is because the company’s liabilities increased.

Inventory Turnover Cost of sales/Average Inventory 17 19 (2)
Ratio
A fall in inventory from 19 times in 2015 to 17 times in 2016 representing a negative
two (2) change. A low inventory turnover may reflect dull business, over investing
in inventory, accumulation of inventory and excessive quantities of inventory
relation to immediate requirements. An increase in creditor payment period from
32 days in 2015 to 44 days in 2016 indicates the average time it takes Total
Petroleum Ghana Limited to settle its debts with trade suppliers which has
increased by twelve (12) days. In addition receivable collection period measures
the cash flow, a shorter collection period is preferred. Comparatively it takes cash
flow is better in 2015 with 29 days than in 2016 with 33days.
The inventory turnover measures how efficient the company turns its inventory to
cash indicates operational and marketing efficiency. Helping in evaluating
inventory policy to avoid over stocking.

change of two (2). For every share there is a debt which has reduced from 2015 to
2016 a reduction by two (2) meaning a sign that the company is over-relying on

The fall in earning per share from 0.4 in 2015 to 0.34 in 2016 has reduce shareholder
earning because of low turnover ratios and the profit margins as a result Total
petroleum Ghana Ltd. is not getting as high a return on its assets. The fall in asset
turn over translate in the fall in the dividend per share, earning per share and the
dividend payout ratio.

what investors think of the company’s past performance and future prospects. If
the liquidity, asset management, debt management, and profitability ratios all
look good, then the market value ratios will be high, and the stock price will
probably be as high as can be expected.

Conclusion
The company will continue its investment program, which is a strategy directed at
upgrading existing filling and service stations and opening new stations. This plan
will be carried out through the implementation of dynamic business diversification
concepts in the company’s existing boutiques and restaurants to enhance the
accessibility of the products and services that are available to customers
nationwide. New sales promotions will be introduced to boost lubricant sales and
to maintain the company as the market leader in Ghana. The company should
continue its strategy of expansion. The company should engage in the production
and distribution of solar energy technology and also invest in other forms of
renewable energy.
