THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES
(1) Balance sheet: Balance sheet is a financial position of a particular date, which does
not reflect about the year on activity on daily basis but shows accumulated yearly results
of which comparison gives the trend and track of financial position of a company. While
Profit & Loss A/C is made for the year and all the revenue expenditure and income
related transactions are summarized as a head wise total. The difference of expenditure
and income is transferred to Balance sheet.
From Balance sheet we can get the idea about capital base, reserves and provisions,
secured and unsecured loans taken and current liabilities. The asset side shows the
deployment of funds in fixed assets, investment, loans given and current liabilities. If the
owned capital is more than outside liabilities the company can be said stronger. The
current assets should be created from current liabilities. The fixed assets should be
created from capital & reserves or long term loans. The working capital loans cannot be
used to purchase fixed assets.
(2) Working Fund: It is also important to calculate working fund (working capital or
working assets) rather than to use total assets i.e. sum of asset side is generally
understood as total assets, but it is including contra items which does not reflect real
picture. So, while considering total assets we should not consider revaluation reserves,
accumulated loss and contra items (shown at both sides of balance sheet).

(3) Earning Assets: The earning assets also an important concept. In earning assets we
should take only those assets on which we can earn interest. i.e. on current account we
are not earning but fixed deposits, loan given, other investments on which we get earning
are earning assets.
(4) Average Balance: Another most important concept is to take average balance instead
of last day balance in ratio analysis. Because the profit or interest are the result of the
whole year transactions which should be compared with the whole period average and
not with last day position. Let us take an example to understand this: If interest earned on
investment is compared with last day balance of investment and if during near term past
some investment is made, the ratio will be lower and if some part of investment is
redempted, the ratio will be higher than the actual value. But if we take average of
investment than it gives the real picture. So, average of fortnightly or monthly balance is
to be considered in ratio analysis.
(5) Off Balance Sheet Items: Off balance sheet items are also important as it may create
adverse effect on profitability or soundness of the company. e.g. wage settlement
negotiations, Income Tax notices to pay Income Tax, Other Liabilities which are not
considered, Heavy bank guarantee issued by the bank etc.

The concepts of various ratios which can be helpful to understand the financial
position of a company are as under:
[2]Quick Ratio:
It is the ratio of quick (or liquid) asset to current liabilities. It is expressed as
Quick ratio = Quick Assets/Current Liabilities
The quick assets are defined as those assets which are quickly convertible into cash.
While calculating quick assets we exclude the inventories at the end and other current
assets such as prepaid expenses, advance tax, etc., from the current assets. Because of
exclusion of non-liquid current assets it is considered better than current ratio as a
measure of liquidity position of the business. It is calculated to serve as a supplementary
check on liquidity position of the business and is therefore, also known as ‘Acid-Test
Ratio’.
[3]Debt-Equity Ratio:
Debt-Equity Ratio measures the relationship between long-term debt and equity. If debt
component of the total long-term funds employed is small, outsiders feel more secure.
From security point of view, capital structure with less debt and more equity is
considered favorable as it reduces the chances of bankruptcy. Normally, it is considered
to be safe if debt equity ratio is 2:1. However, it may vary from industry to industry. It is
computed as follows:

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. So, the research
methodology not only talks about research methods but also considers the logic behind
the method used in the context of research study.
In the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences, D. Slesinger and M.Stephension (1930) defined
research as “the manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of
generalizing to extend, corrector verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in the
construction of theory or in the practice of an art”.

DATA COLLECTION
There are two types of data primary data and secondary data:
1) Primary data: Raw data or primary data is a term for data collection at source.
This type of information is obtained directly from first hand sources by means of
surveys, observations and experiments and not subjected to any processing or
manipulation and also called primary data.
Types of primary data collection are as follows:
1. Observation method
2. Interview method
3. Questionnaire
4. Schedules
2) Secondary data: it refers to the data collection by someone other than the user i.e.
the data is already available and analyzed by someone else. Common sources of
secondary data include various published or unpublished data, books, magazines,
newspaper, trade journals etc.
A researcher can obtain secondary data from various sources. Secondary data may
either be published data or unpublished data. Before using secondary data, it must be
checked for the following characteristics:
1. Reliability of data
2. Suitability of data
3. Adequacy
The data used in the following study is secondary data as it is collected from the
balance sheets and trading\profit and loss sheets of the companies.
