4.  Q 4 What do you know of profitability ratio? What does each
indicate?
 Gross profit*100/Sales: This will indicate GP versus sale in percentage
form. This suggests margin earned on sale.
 EBDITA*100/Sales: It is Earning Before Depreciation, Interest,
Tax, Adjustments versus sale %
 This indicates generation of net profit after all administrative and fixes
costs. This indicates how much is administrative and sale cost on total
sale. Higher the ratio more the sale/admn cost. Not a favorable condition
 Net profit*100/Sales: This expresses in percentage from the net
margin available out of total sale. If the sale is huge but this ratio is poor
when the above ratio is high, the unit is said to be having bad
administration or poor net margin. It may be because of higher burden of
interest cost; burden due to cost of commission to agents or sales done
at lower prices or may be force sale. Also Indicates quality of product or
demand in market in case of producing unit. It can indicate availability of
profit for repayment of loan
 This can be viewed as repaying capacity too.

5.  Q 5 What is return ratios? How do you interpret it?
 Return ratios are as follows
Return = Profit After Tax (PAT) + Depreciation + interest
 This will suggest actual cash inflow or available cash for repayment.
It may suggest actual profit or creation of value on assets.
 Return on Assets (ROA)/Return on Capital Employed (ROCE):
As per following formula
ROA / ROAC = PBDT/Total Assets
 Total assets include investments, fix or tangible assets and current
assets. This will suggest earning power of unit. It will also suggest
how far the capital/reserves are used to create meaningful or
productive assets. This may capture diversification trends too. It
shows utilization of funds employed. It is a very useful ratio.
 Return on equity: Following formula will find this
Return on equity = PBDIT/Net worth
 In case of a company, per share earning power can be known.
Investors understand availability of returns to them from this ratio.

6.  Q 6 What is liquidity ratio and what does it
indicate?
This ratio analyses the availability of actual cash in the hands of
the company to meet its expenses and commitments. It can be
viewed as cycle of realization of debtors’ payment.
 This is very useful ratio. Many a times the business may be
good, other parameters like sale etc can be good, but the unit
always run short of cash. This is bad health of unit.
 Current Ratio: This liquidity group ratio. It is calculated as
follows
Current Ratio=Current Assets/Current Liability.
 This decides working capital of unit. It means availability of funds
to finance operation cycle of unit. For cash credit/OD or
working capital finance this provides useful information.
 Quick Ratio/Acid test: This is also liquidity group ration.
Quick Ratio= (Current Assets-Stock)/Current Liability
 This indicates realisability of working capital from
debtors/investment. 6

7.  Q 7 What is turnover Ratio? How do you calculate this?
What to find out from this?
 This is useful in finding out turnover of stock, holding period of
finished goods, requirement of raw material, credit period,
debtors’ period in production unit. These are important ratios in
industrial finance.
 Raw material consumption days=
Stock of RM/yearly consumption*365
 Processing RM days = SIP/cost of production*365
 Finished goods holding period= FG/cost of sale*365
 Credit sale days= Debtors/sales*365
 Credit purchase days= Creditors/purchase*365
 Stock Turnover= Cost of sale/Average stock (Op stock +
Close stock)/2
Figures are available in trading account and balance sheet.
This relates trading with balance sheet status.

8.  Q 8 How do we know stake of owner and liability
on capital?
 This ratio indicates borrowing against capital. This
can suggest availability of margin money with unit
and also long term debt. This ration is generally
known as Debt/Equity ratio
 Long term debt/equity
 Total outside liability/equity.
 Higher the ratio higher the borrowed funds. May be
there is more burden of interest and less profitability.
Generally 1:2 or 2.5 are considered good. It also
indicates vulnerability to capital in case of interest
rate raise or downturn of business.

9.  Q 9 What are important ratios for term loan
processing?
 This ratio is known as Debt Service Coverage
Ratio. (DSCR) It indicates profitability available to
service debt, meaning installments. Interest
coverage Ration can be calculated by ICR
 DSCR=PBDITA/EMI Or GP/EMI
 ICR= PBDTIA/interest Or GP/interest
 If this is positive up to installments or interest it
suggests enough repaying capacity.
