Proposed leveraged buyout of Fujifilm. Unlocking value of the Japanese conglomerate through the trimming of declining businesses while focusing on the burgeoning Informations Solutions business. Our strategy will deliver our GPs a return of 32.4% IRR.
Corporate finance manager must take economic and financial decision aimed at maximizing the value creation of the company and also shareholders wealth. Merger and acquisition have been identified as means of survival strategy and sustainable business growth in a distress economy rather than outright liquidation. The study employed an ex-post facto research design with a focus population of twenty four deposit money banks classified into two groups of ten trouble and fourteen sound banks. Six banks that have gone through the second round of consolidation were selected using purposive sampling technique for period of seven years (2008-2014). CAMEL indicators were used to proxy merger and acquisition input while business growth was proxied using performance measurement of ROA. The study employed both descriptive and inferential statistic using multiple regression analysis and analysis of variance to determine whether there is significant relationship between the pre and post-merger CAMEL indicator and performance measures. The study observed a mixed relationship of merger and acquisition proxy by CAMEL on business growth proxy by ROA across the sampled banks. The study concluded that merger and acquisition as survival strategy and sustainable business growth has failed to produce the desired synergistic effects among the sample banks. This negates the theoretical and financial believe that merger and acquisition automatically leads to synergistic gain and value creation for shareholders. The study recommended that the specific input into merger and acquisition in bank the CAMEL indicators should be managed better to have a positive relationship with business growth. Also the bank’s management should be proactive in product diversification, risk management and enhancement of good corporate governance practices.

A financial ratio (or accounting ratio) is a relative magnitude of two selected numerical values taken from an enterprise's financial statements. Often used in accounting, there are many standard ratios used to try to evaluate the overall financial condition of a corporation or other organization. Financial ratios may be used by managers within a firm, by current and potential shareholders (owners) of a firm, and by a firm's creditors. Financial analysts use financial ratios to compare the strengths and weaknesses in various companies.[1] If shares in a company are traded in a financial market, the market price of the shares is used in certain financial ratios.
Ratios can be expressed as a decimal value, such as 0.10, or given as an equivalent percent value, such as 10%. Some ratios are usually quoted as percentages, especially ratios that are usually or always less than 1, such as earnings yield, while others are usually quoted as decimal numbers, especially ratios that are usually more than 1, such as P/E ratio; these latter are also called multiples. Given any ratio, one can take its reciprocal; if the ratio was above 1, the reciprocal will be below 1, and conversely. The reciprocal expresses the same information, but may be more understandable: for instance, the earnings yield can be compared with bond yields, while the P/E ratio cannot be: for example, a P/E ratio of 20 corresponds to an earnings yield of 5%.
Values used in calculating financial ratios are taken from the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows or (sometimes) the statement of retained earnings. These comprise the firm's "accounting statements" or financial statements. The statements' data is based on the accounting method and accounting standards used by the organization.
Ratios
Profitability ratios
Liquidity ratios
Activity ratios (Efficiency Ratios)
Debt ratios (leveraging ratios)
Market ratios
Capital budgeting ratios
Financial ratios quantify many aspects of a business and are an integral part of the financial statement analysis. Financial ratios are categorized according to the financial aspect of the business which the ratio measures. Liquidity ratios measure the availability of cash to pay debt.[2] Activity ratios measure how quickly a firm converts non-cash assets to cash assets.[3] Debt ratios measure the firm's ability to repay long-term debt.[4] Profitability ratios measure the firm's use of its assets and control of its expenses to generate an acceptable rate of return.[5] Market ratios measure investor response to owning a company's stock and also the cost of issuing stock.[6] These are concerned with the return on investment for shareholders, and with the relationship between return and the value of an investment in company’s shares.

Ratio Analysis
Financial ratios can be used to examine various aspects of the financial position and performance of a business and are widely used for planning and control purposes.
They can be used to evaluate the financial health of a business and can be utilised by management in a wide variety of decisions involving such areas as profit planning, pricing, working-capital management, financial structure and dividend policy.
Ratio analysis provides a fairly simplistic method of examining the financial condition of a business.
A ratio expresses the relation of one figure appearing in the financial statements to some other figure appearing there.
Ratios enable comparison between businesses.
Differences may exist between businesses in the scale of operations making comparison via the profits generated unreliable.
Ratios can eliminate this uncertainty.
Other than comparison with other businesses, it is also a valuable tool in analysing the performance of one business over time.
However useful ratios are not without their problems.
Figures calculated through ratio analysis can highlight the financial strengths and weaknesses of a business but they cannot, by themselves, explain why certain strengths or weaknesses exist or why certain changes have occurred.
Only detailed investigation will reveal these underlying reasons. Ratios must, therefore, be seen as a ‘starting point’.
Financial ratio classification
The following ratios are considered the more important for decision-making purposes:
Ratios can be grouped into certain categories, each of which reflects a particular aspect of financial performance or position.
The following broad categories provide a useful basis for explaining the nature of the financial ratios to be dealt with.
Profitability.Businesses come into being with the primary purpose of creating wealth for the owners. Profitability ratios provide an insight to the degree of success in achieving this purpose. They express the profits made in relation to other key figures in the financial statements or to some business resource.
Efficiency.Ratios may be used to measure the efficiency with which certain resource have been utilised within the business. These ratios are also referred to as active ratios.
Liquidity.It is vital to the survival of a business that there be sufficient liquid resources available to meet maturing obligations. Certain ratios may be calculated that examines the relationship between liquid resources held and creditors due for payment in the near future.
Gearing.This is the relationship between the amount financed by the owners of the business and the amount contributed by outsiders, which has an important effect on the degree of risk associated with a business. Gearing is then something that managers must consider when making financing decisions.
Investment.Certain ratios are concerned with assessing the returns and performance of shares held in a particular business.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

2. Meaning of Diversification of a Firm
Diversification is a strategic option that many managers use to improve their firms’ performance. This
interdisciplinary research attempts to verify whether firm level diversification has any impact on
performance. The study finds that on average, diversified firms show better performance compared to
undiversified firms on both risk and return dimensions. It also tests the robustness of these results by
classifying firms by performance class. The results show that among the best performing class of firms,
undiversified firms have higher returns, but these returns are accompanied by high variance. Whereas,
highly diversified firms show lower returns, and much lower variance. Results further show that
diversified firms perform better than undiversified firms on risk and return dimensions, in the low and
average performance classes. The paper concludes that a dominant undiversified firm may perform
better than a highly diversified firm in terms of return but its riskiness will be much greater. If managers
of such firms opt for diversification, their returns will decrease, but their riskiness will reduce
proportionately more than the reduction in their returns. In such firms, there will be a tradeoff between
risk and return.
Address the question: “What is the appropriate scale and scope of the enterprise?”
• Influences how large and how diversified firms will be.
• Successful corporate strategies are not only the product of successful definition
• Also the result of organizational capabilities or competencies that allow firms to exploit
potential economies/synergies that large size or diversity can offer.
“Why Firms Diversify?”
• To grow
• To more fully utilize existing resources and capabilities.
• To escape from undesirable or unattractive industry environments.
• To make use of surplus cash flows.
Diversification decisions involve two basic issues:
• Is the industry to be entered more attractive than the firm’s existing business?
• Can the firm establish a competitive advantage within the industry to be entered? (i.e.
what synergies exist between the core business and the new business?)
3. Motives for Diversification
1. GROWTH: The desire to escape stagnant or declining industries has been one of the
most powerful motives for diversification (Wall Primer, Wood Primer, Putty).
• But, growth satisfies management not shareholder goals.
• Growth strategies (esp. by acquisition), tend to destroy shareholder value
2. RISK: Diversification reduces variance of profit flows
3. SPREADING: But, does not normally create value for shareholders, since shareholders can
hold diversified portfolios.
• Capital Asset Pricing Model shows that diversification lowers unsystematic risk
not systematic risk.
4. PROFIT: For diversification to create shareholder value, the act of bringing different
businesses under common owner-ship must somehow increase their profitability.

5. RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It can be used to compare the risk and return
relationships of firms of different sizes. It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the
financial statements so that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical
performance and current financial condition can be determined.
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS:
Different ratios are used for different purposes. These ratios can be grouped into various classes
according to financial activities. Ratios are classified into four broad categories:
Liquidity ratios
Leverage ratios
Profitability ratios
Activity ratios
6. 1. GROSS PROFIT RATIO: It measures the percentage of each sales rupee remaining after
the firm has paid for its goods. And it is also known as gross margin ratio.
FORMULA: Gross profit
*100
Net sales
TABLE:
Table 5.1.1 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Gross profit 2501.27 2599.19 1475.97
Net sales 5125.08 4270.05 3416.16
Ratio 48.8% 60.87% 43.2%
INTERPRETATION: A high ratio of gross profit to sales is a good sign of a good management as it implies
that the cost of production of the firm is relatively low. While a relatively low gross margin is definitely a
danger signal, warranting a careful and detailed analysis of the factors responsible for it. Here in 2008-
2009 the ratio is the highest where as it has decreased from 60.87% to 48.80% in 2009-2010 which
means the company’s cost of production has increased which is not good for the company.
2. Net Profit Margin: It measures the percentage of each sales rupee remaining after all
costs and expenses including interest and taxes have been deducted.
Formula: earnings before taxes/ net sales *100
Table:
Table 5.1.2 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
7. Net Profit Before Tax 1153.85 621.33 616.59
Net sales 5125.08 4270.05 3419.06
Ratio 22.51% 14.55% 18.03%
Interpretation: The net profit margin is indicative of management’s ability to operate the business with
sufficient success. A high net profit margin would ensure adequate return to the owners as well as
enable a firm to withstand adverse economic conditions when selling price is declining. Here it has
increased in 2010 which is good for the company.
3. Current ratio: This ratio establishes a relationship between current assets and current
liabilities. The objective of calculating this ratio is to measure the ability of the firm to
meet its short term obligation.
Formula: Current asset
Current liabilities
Table:
Table 5.1.3 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Current assets 1342.28 1228.42 1043.67
Current liabilities 1460.44 957.74 951.05
Current ratio(times) 0.92 1.28 1.09
Interpretation: The higher the turnover ratio, the more efficient is the management and utilization of
the assets while low turnover ratios are indicative of underutilization of available resources and
presence of idle capacity. Here in 2009 it was higher while in 2010 it has decreased again.
8. 4. Quick ratio: It is the ratio between quick current assets and current liabilities and is
calculated by dividing the quick assets by the current liabilities.
Formula: Quick assets
Current liabilities
Table:
Table 5.1.4 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Quick assets 579.14 681.71 791.77
Current liabilities 1460.44 957.74 951.05
Quick ratio(times) 0.40 0.71 0.83
Interpretation: A Quick ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory as a firm can easily meet all current claims.
It provides in a sense a check on liquidity position of a firm. Here it has shown a decreasing trend from
which can say that the company is having more assets which has tied up in slow moving and unsalable
inventories and slow paying debts.
5. Book value per share: It represents the equity of the equity share holder on a per share
basis. It is computed dividing net worth by the number of equity shares outstanding.
Formula: Net worth
Number of equity shares outstanding
Table:
Table 5.1.5 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Net worth 1557.22 1094.47 928.50
9. No. of shares 9.592 9.592 9.592
Book value per share 162.35 114.10 96.8
Interpretation: it is used as a benchmark for comparisons with the market price per share. However it
has a serious limitation as a valuation tool as it is based on the historical costs of the assets of a firm.
Here it is highest in the year 2009-2010.
6. Earnings per share: It measures the profit available to the equity shareholders on a per
share basis. It is calculated by dividing the profits available to the equity shareholders by
the number of shares outstanding.
Formula: Net profit
Number of ordinary shares outstanding
Table: Table 5.1.6 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Net profit 1004.50 562.36 525.20
No. of eq. shares 9.592 9.592 9.592
Earnings per share 104.72 58.63 54.75
Interpretation: It is a widely used ratio. As a measure of profitability of a firm from the owner’s point of
view, should be used cautiously as it does not recognize the effect of increase in equity capital as a
result of retention of earnings. Here it has increased in three years.
7. Dividend payout ratio: It measures the proportion of dividends paid to earning available
to shareholders. It is also known as payout ratio.
10. Formula: Dividend to equity holders
Net profit *100
Table: Table 5.1.7 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Dividend to eq. holders 258.98 167.86 163.06
Net profit 1004.50 562.36 525.20
Dividend payout ratio 26% 30% 31%
Interpretation: This ratio generally shows what percentage share of the net profit after taxes and
preference dividend is paid out as dividend to the equity-holders. So that the percentage dividend of
equity holders is decreasing year by year.
8. Debt-equity ratio: It measures the ratio of long-term or total debt to shareholders equity.
It is the ratio of the amount invested by outsiders to the amount invested by the owners
of business.
Formula: Long-term debt
Shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity 95.92 95.92 95.92
Debt-equity ratio 1.21 1.28 1.31
11. Interpretation: It is an important tool of financial analysis to appraise the financial structure of a firm. If
the ratio is high, the owners are putting up relatively less money of their own. It is danger signal for the
creditors. A low ratio has opposite implications. Here the ratio is decreasing which is not good for the
company.
9. Fixed Asset turnover ratio: It indicates the efficiency with which firm uses all its assets
to generate sales. It is based on the relationship between the cost of goods sold and
assets/investment of a firm.
Formula: cost of goods sold
Average fixed assets
Table: Table 5.1.9 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Cost of goods sold 2623.81 2599.19 1940.19
Average fixed assets 1,088.18 711.77 539.22
Fixed asset t/o ratio 2.41 3.65 3.6
Interpretation: The higher the turnover ratio, the more efficient is the management and utilization of
the assets while low turnover ratios are indicative of underutilization of available resources and
presence of idle capacity. Here the ratio has decreased from 3.65 to 2.41 which mean company needs
additional capital investment to expand their activities.
10. Inventory turnover ratio: The number of times the average stock is turn over during the
year is known as stock turn over. It is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by the
average stock. The objective of computing this ratio is to determine the efficiency with
which the inventory is utilized.
Formula: cost of goods sold
Average inventory
12. Table: Table 5.1.10 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008

Average inventory 654.925 542.84 486.52
Inventory turnover
ratio
4 4.79 3.99
Interpretation: A high ratio implies good inventory management. Here in 2008-2009 it was highest. But
it decreased from 4.79 to 4. A low ratio is dangerous. It signifies excessive inventory or overinvestment
in inventory.
11. Debtor turnover ratio: It is the average amount of time needed to collect accounts
receivables. The debtor’s turnover suggest the number of times the amount of credit sales
is collected during the year, while debtor ratio indicates the number of days during which
the dues for credit sales are collected. Suppose the debtors ratio is sixty days, it means
that debtor’s pay their dues for credit sales after sixty days of making the sales.
Formula: Average debtors + bills receivables
Credit sales * 365

Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
Credit sales 5125.08 4270.05 3419.06
Average debtors 331.43 311.02 251.90
Debtor turnover ratio 23.6 26.58 26.89
Interpretation: This ratio measures how rapidly receivables are collected. A high ratio is indicative of
shorter time-lag between credit sales and cash collection. A low ratio shows that debts are not being
collected rapidly. In 2007-08 the ratio was high which shows effective collection policy. But in 2009-10
the ratio has gone down to 23.6. This shows that the company’s policy is not so effective.
13. 12. Proprietary ratio: The ratio shows the proportion of proprietors funds to the total assets
employed in the business. The proprietor’s fund or share-holders equity surplus. The ratio
indicates the amount of capital contributed by the proprietor’s .The higher the ratio, the
higher proprietors & the financial position of business.
Formula: proprietary’s fund
Total assets *100

Assets 1673.71 1216.21 1054.72
Proprietary ratio 94.23% 90% 88%
Interpretation: This ratio indicates the extent to which assets are financed by owner’s funds. It may also
show some relationship between equity funds and assets. Here in 2010 the ratio is highest which is good
for the company.
13. Interest coverage ratio: The ratio indicates as to how many times the profit covers the
payment of interest on debentures and long-term loans. Hence, it is knows as “times-
interest earned ratio”. It is indicated in times.
Formula: EBIT
Interest
Table: Table 5.1.13 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008
EBIT 1153.85 621.33 616.59
Interest 13.76 10.40 8.27
Interest coverage ratio 83.86 59.74 74.56
14. Interpretation: It indicates the extent to which a fall in EBIT is tolerable in that the ability of the firm to
service its interest payments would not be adversely affected. Here it has increased in the year 2010 so
it can enable the firm to pay back to the lenders.
14. Return on equity share capital: The ratio is important, as it indicates profitability of a
firm from the viewpoint of real owners who are ordinary shareholders, who bear all the
risks of business. It signifies the success with which the management has been able to
earn enough returns on funds supplied by the proprietors.
Formula: Net profit after tax
Equity share capital *100
Table: Table 5.1.14 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008

Equity share capital 1557.22 1094.47 982.37
Return on eq. share
capital
49.74% 33.27% 38.19%
Interpretation: Here the ratio has increased from 38.19% to 49.74% which mean company has enough
capital to pay the dividend to his shareholders. It is able to earn enough returns on the funds.
15. Return on capital employed: It is an index of profitability of business and obtained by
comparing net profit with capital employed. The ratio is normally expressed in the
percentage. The term capital employed includes share capital, reserves and long term
loan such as debentures.
Formula:
EBIT
Total capital employed *100
15. Table: Table 5.1.15 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008

Capital employed 1557.22 1094.47 982.37
Return on capital
employed
74.09% 56.77% 62.76%
Interpretation: Here the profits are related to the total capital employed. The higher the ratio, the more
efficient is the use of capital employed. Here the ratio is increasing so we can say that the funds of
owner and lenders have been used efficiently.
16. Long-term funds to fixed assets ratio: The fixed assets should always be acquired out of
long-term funds meaning there by that this ratio should not be less than 100.
Formula: long-term funds
Fixed assets *100
Table: Table 5.1.16 (RS IN CRORE)
Particulars 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008

Fixed assets 1,088.18 711.77 539.22
Long-term fund to
fixed asset ratio
10.7% 17.2% 23.4%
Interpretation: Higher the ratio, better for the company. In the year 2010 it has decreased to 10.7%
from 23.4% which is not good for the firm. In 2009-2010 long term funds have decreased while fixed
assets have increased and because of that only the ratio has come down to 10.70%.
16. DU-PONT ANALYSIS
(RS IN CRORE)
INTERPRETATION:
The equation indicates that the management of the company has three levers through which it can control
ROE:
i. The net profit margin per rupee sales’
ii. The sales generated per rupee of assets employed

Asset/equity(times) 2.04 1.99 2.01
Return on equity(per cent) 0.38 0.34 0.50
17. iii. The amount of equity used to finance the assets.
Here in the year 2008 the ROE is was higher which means company had the higher
financial leverage. And it has decreased in year 2009 to 0.34 from 0.50 and again it
increased a bit in the year 2010 to 0.38. Which means company is exploring the
possibilities of increasing its profit. This 5 ways break up of ROE enables the firm to
analyze the effect of interest payments and tax payments separately from operating
profitability. The both leverage ratios have been increased in the years 2010 i.e.
company has higher financial leverages. Which ultimately leads to the higher profit.
19. Net Profit 7745.00 15.14 3623.60 8.51 3752.00 11.01
INTERPRETATION:
These percentage figures bring out clearly the relative significance of each group of items in the
aggregative position of the firm. For instance in the year 2010 the EAT of the company has increased to
6.46 from 4.31 in the year 2009. This improvement can mainly be seen from the efficiency in
manufacturing operation. The increase in financial heads (interest) can be traced to the on time payment
of the long term loans. Further analysis indicates that profitability is more because of decrease in
operating expenses.

around 10% over the previous year in 2010. This increase was shared by inventories and cash; the share
of debtors also has decreased. The proportion of current liabilities has also increased. These facts signal a
declining trend in the overall liquidity position in the company. Further, the share of long term debt has
also declined and owners’ equity has remained the same throughout the last 3 years.

Interpretation:
The significance of a trend analysis of ratios lies in the fact that the analysis can know the direction of
movement, that is, whether the movement is favorable or unfavorable. Trend analysis involves
comparison of a firm over a period of time, that is present ratios are compared with past ratios for the
same firm. It indicates the direction of change in the performance- improvement, deterioration or
constancy- over the years.
If we talk about total liabilities here it has been decreasing; this shows positive aspect of the company.
But the amount in reserves and surplus of the company has decreased so company cannot invest in other
segments or departments their capital that easily.

is just because of the monsoon which made delay in the production and the sales went down in the last
quarter of the company. Interest rate has also decreased which is good for the firm only. The expenses of
the company are also less related to last two years which also indicates good financial management of
the firm that the firm is handling its finance very efficiently and effectively.
