A STUDY ON RATIO ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
Finance is viewed as the most important factor in every enterprise and it is
provision of money at the time when it is required. Every enterprise whether big,
medium or small needs finance to carry on its operations and to achieve its targets.
Finance is so indispensable today that it is rightly said that it is the lifeblood of an
enterprise. Without adequate finances, no enterprise can possibly accomplish its
objectives.
Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories
i.e., fixed capital and working capital. Fixed capital stands for the amount of capital
which is required for long term to create production facilities through purchase of
fixed assets such as plant, machinery, land and buildings etc, working capital refers to
that part of the firms capital which is needed for financing short terms or current
assets such as marketable securities, debtors and inventories etc, working capital in
brief, is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprise.
Just as circulation of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life of a
person, working capital is very essential to maintain the smooth running of a business.
The modern thinking in financial management gives greater importance to
management decision making and policy. Today, the financial manager is not in a
passive role of score keeper of the accounting information and arranging funds.
Whenever directed to do so. Rather, he occupies a key role in solving the complex
management problems. He is not responsible for shaping the fortunes of the enterprise
and is involved in the most vital management decision of allocation of resource

INDUSTRY PROFILE
ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY
Electronics is a branch of technology dealing with the motion and behavior
of electrons. Although the term derives vacuum tube technology, it now encompasses
the sold state circuits and devices used in computing and communications.
HISTORY IN INDIA
The Electronics Industry in India was nucleated in the late forties with the
setting up of production base for radio receivers by a few private firms using foreign
collaborations. In the initial stages, the production activities were mainly in the fields
of consumer electronics and certain type of components. Two public sector units,
namely BHEL and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) both at Bangalore, were also
manufacturing professional electronic items to meet the requirements of P&T.
Introduction of transistor radio I early 60’s led to phase which witnessed steady
growth in production of import substitutions, diversification of product range and
entry into export market.
Production of electronic equipment and components has come a long way
since the days of radio receivers in the 1950’s. the electronics industry in India has
grown with domestic demand, as a result of import substitution effort.
During the 1970’s electronics industry in the country derived its strength as
a labor-intensive industry. Production techniques had large manual labor content.
Dispersal of industry was given an important place in the promotional policy
framework and industry capacities were approved based on the estimated demand
over the next five years. In the growth and development of this industry, emphasis
was placed on indigenization of applications of electrons.
While on the one hand, this had enabled development of largely decision
consumer electronics industry (except from 1982 onwards when policy decision was
taken to introduce color TV and resulted in import of CTV tubes and semiconductors

required for assembly), it is has generated enough demand of components to enable
mass production using some degree of automation.
PRODUCTION AND DEFENSE UNDERTAKING
A substantial part of the defense stores needed by the services is now being
developed and produced in the country. The responsibility for this has been entrusted
to the Department of Defense Production and supplies, which organizes, directs and
coordinates production of material and equipment required by the Armed Forces. It
carries our its responsibility through the Directorate of standardization, Defense
Research and Development (DRDO) and eight public sector undertakings.
There are 36 ordinances, factories whose main thrust is aimed at meeting the
twin objectives of modernization of the factories and increasing productivity. The
need for self-reliance under lines the existence of ordinance factories. The factories
widely dispersed over the length and breadth of the country on strategic consideration,
necessarily function interdependently. The spectrum of technology leading to self
reliance. The range of products in these factories include armored vehicles,
sophisticated anti tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, field guns, self propelled guns,
mounted guns, motors, small arms and their related ammunitions. In addition software
items combat clothing, high attitude clothing, parachutes, and mountaineering
equipment are also being manufacturing.
There are Eight Public Sector enterprises under the department of defense
production and supplies. These are
1. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
2. Bharat Electronic Limited(BHEL)
3. Bharat Earth Movers Limited(BEML)
4. Mozagan Dock Limited(MDL)
5. Garden Reach Ship Builders & Engineers Limited(GRS&E)
6. Goa Ship Yard Limited (GSL)
7. Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL)
8. Misra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI)

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
The study is confirmed to the management of RATIO ANALYSIS in
BHEL. Hyderabad. The main aim of the study is to asses the necessary of
managing Current Assets and Current liabilities.
NEED FOR STUDY

The most important functions of the business firm are production, marketing
finance. It is very difficult to separate finance functions from production, marketing
and other functions. The functions of raising funds, investing them in assets and
distributing returns earned from assets to share holders are respectively known as
financing, investing and dividend decisions. In doing so, a firm attempts to balance
cash inflow and outflows. Finance function call for skillful planning control and
execution of firm’s activities.
Hence, the study is taken to analyze the firm’s activities through “RATIO
ANALYSIS”
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial
situation. Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's
financials to those of other firms. Ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of
ratios which are derived from the information in a company's financial statements.
Financial ratios are usually expressed as a percent or as times per period. Ratio
analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use
of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a
firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be
determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between
two variables. With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding
several aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the
undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the
management has utilized the firm’s assets correctly, to increase the investor’s wealth.
It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of firm’s assets.
Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. An inter
firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the
comparison of the performance of different departments. If comparison shows a
variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if results are
negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line. Yet another
dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View point of

management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various activity
ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.
Significance or Importance of Ratio Analysis
 It helps in evaluating the firms performance
With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several
aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the
undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the
management has utilized the firm’s assets correctly, to increase the investor’s wealth.
It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of firms assets.
 It helps in inter-firm comparison
Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. An
inter firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the
comparison of the performance of different departments. If comparison shows a
variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if results are
negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line.
 It simplifies financial statement
The information given in the basic financial statements serves no useful
Purpose unless it s interrupted and analyzed in some comparable terms. The ratio
analysis is one of the tools in the hands of those who want to know something more
from the financial statements in the simplified manner.
 It helps in determining the financial position of the concern
Ratio analysis facilitates the management to know whether the firms financial
position is improving or deteriorating or is constant over the years by setting a trend
with the help of ratios The analysis with the help of ratio analysis can know the
direction of the trend of strategic ratio may help the management in the task of
planning, forecasting and controlling.
 It is helpful in budgeting and forecasting

Accounting ratios provide a reliable data, which can be compared, studied and
analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for future prospectus. The ratios can also
serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future line of action.
 Liquidity position
With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding the Liquidity
position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory if it is able to
meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met short term
liabilities is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm.
 Long term solvency:
Ratio analysis is equally for assessing the long term financial ability of the
Firm. The long term solvency is measured by the leverage or capital structure and
profitability ratio which shows the earning power and operating efficiency, Solvency
ratio shows relationship between total liability and total assets.
 Operating efficiency:
Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View
point of management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various
activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the
systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and
weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial
condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative
relationship between two variables.
There are four important categories of ratios related to the RATIO
ANALYSIS of the firms. They are
1. Liquidity ratios
2. Leverage ratios
3. Profitability ratios
4. Activity ratios

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
It is extremely essential for a firm to be able to meet its obligations as they
become due. Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current
obligations.
The most common ratios, which indicate the extent of liquidity, are
1.A. Current ratio
1.B.Quick ratio
1.A.CURRENT RATIO
The current ratio is calculated as per the following formula
Current ratio = Current assets
Current liabilities
Current assets include cash and those assets, which can be converted into cash
within a year. All obligations maturing within a year are included in current
liabilities.
As a conventional rule, a current ratio of 2:1 or more is considered
satisfactory. The higher the current ratio, the greater the margin of safety.
1.B.QUICK RATIO
An asset is quick or liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately without
a loss of value. Cash is the most liquid asset. Other assets which are considered to be
relatively liquid and included in quick assets are debtors and bills receivables and
marketable securities.
The ratio can be calculated by using the following formula
Quick ratio = Quick assets
Current liabilities

Generally a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current
financial position.
2.LEVERAGE RATIOS
The short term creditors like bankers and suppliers of raw material are more
concerned with the firm’s current debt paying ability. On the other hand, long term
creditors, like debenture holders, financial institutions etc., are more concerned with
the firm’s long term financial strength.
To judge the long term financial position of the firm, financial leverage or
capital structure ratios are calculated.
Leverage ratios may be calculated form the balance sheet items to determine
the proportion of debt in total financing.
The leverage ratios are calculated in two methods. Such as
2.A. Total debt ratio
2.B.Debt equity ratio
2.A. TOTAL DEBT RATIO
Debt ratio is used to analyze the long term solvency of a firm. The firm may
be interested in knowing the proportion of the interest bearing debt in the capital
structure. It may, therefore, compute the debt ratio by using following formula
Debt Ratio = Total debt
Total debt+Net worth
2.B. DEBT EQUITY RATIO
From the total debt ratio which clears the percentage of lenders contribution to
owner’s contribution or the relationship describing the lender’s contribution for each
rupee of the owner’s contribution is called debt equity ratio. It can be calculated by
using the following formula

Debt equity ratio = Total debt
Net worth
3.PROFITABILITY RATIOS
The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of
the company.
A company should earn profits to survive and grow over a long period of time.
Profit is the difference between revenues and expenses over a period of time. We
should continuously evaluate the efficiency of its company in terms of profit.
Generally, two major types of profitability ratios are calculated
1. Profitability in relation to sales
2. Profitability in relation to investment
3.A. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
The first profitability ratio in relation to sales is the gross profit margin. It can
be calculated as
Gross profit margin = Sales – Cost of goods sold
Sales
This ratio indicates the average spread between the cost of goods sold and
sales revenue.
A high gross profit margin ratio is a sign of goods management. It is relative
to the industry average implies the firm able to produce at relatively lower cost. A
low gross profit margin may reflect higher cost of goods sold due to the firm’s
inability to purchase raw materials at favorable terms, inefficient utilization of plant
and machinery or over investment in fixed assets resulting higher cost of production.

3.B. NET PROFIT MARGIN
Net profit is obtained when operating expenses, interest and taxes are
subtracted form the gross profit. The ratio is measured by using the following formula
Net profit margin = Profit after tax (PAT)
Sales
This ratio is establishes a relationship between net profit and sales and
indicates management’s efficiency in manufacturing, administering and selling the
products. This ratio is the overall measure of the firm’s ability to turn each rupee
sales into net profit.
3.C. RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The term investment may refer to total assets or net assets. The conventional
approach of calculating return on investment is to divide profit after tax by
investment.
ROI = EBIT (I-T)
Net assets
4.ACTIVITY RATIOS
Activity ratios are employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm
manages and utilizes its assets. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because
they indicate the speed with which assets are being converted or turnover into sales.
Following are the different activity ratios
4.A. Inventory turnover ratio
4.B. Debtors turnover ratio
4.C. Assets turnover ratio
4.D. Fixed assets turnover ratio
4.A. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

This ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling its product. It
is calculates as
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold
Average work-in-progress
4.B DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
Debtors are expected to be converted into cash over a short period and
therefore are included in current assets. The liquidity position of the firm depends on
the quality of debtors to a great extent. Debtors turnover ratio is calculated by using
the following formula
Debtors turnover ratio = Credit Sales
Average debtors
4.C. ASSETS TURNOVER RATIOS
Net assets turnover ratio = Sales
Net assets
Net assets include net fixed assets and net current assets minus current
liabilities.
A firm’s ability to produce a large volume of sales for a given amount of net
assets is the most important aspect of its operating performance.
Total assets turnover ratio = Sales
Total assets
4.D) FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:
The numerator of this ratio is the sales for the period and the denominator is
the balance in the net fixed assets account at the end of the year. This ratio is

supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed. A high
ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in assets utilization and a low ratio reflects
inefficient use of assets. It is calculated by dividing sales with fixed assets. It is used
to highlight the extent of utilization of the company’s plant equipment.
Fixed assets turnover ratio = Sales
Fixed assets
DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
Current ratio:-
The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Current
assets include cash and those assets, which can be converted into cash
within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventories.
Current liabilities include creditors, bills payable, accrued expenses, short
term bank loans etc.
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS
CURRENT LIABILITIES

2011-12 158329780 78980214.39 2.01
Graph no.1:-
Interpretation:-
The normal standard of current ratio is 2:1. The company’s current ratio is
more than the standard ratio in 2007-08, i.e. 1.24, 2008-09(2.01). in the remaining
years 2007-08 (2.17), 2008-09(1.33) ,2009-10(1.04) the current ratio is lower than
the standard ratio.

2. Quick ratio:-
This ratio establishes a relationship between quick or liquid assets and
current liabilities. An asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or
reasonably soon without a loss of value cash is the most liquid assets, other assets
are bills receivables, debtors and marketable securities. Inventories are considered
to be less liquid.
The ratio shows the assets which are immediately converted into cash to
meet the short term obligations of the firm.
QUICK RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS-(STOCK+PREPAID EXPENCES)
