This document provides information on ratio analysis for financial statement evaluation. It defines various types of ratios including liquidity, activity, profitability, leverage and market ratios. Specific ratios discussed include current ratio, quick ratio, debt-equity ratio, gross profit ratio, return on equity, earnings per share and price-earnings ratio. The purpose, calculation and ideal levels of these ratios are explained. Sample balance sheet formats and ratio calculations are also presented to illustrate the concepts.

1. RATIO ANALYSIS

2. WHY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Lenders’ need it for carrying out the following
 Technical Appraisal
 Commercial Appraisal
 Financial Appraisal
 Economic Appraisal
 Management Appraisal

3. RATIO ANALYSIS
It’s a tool which enables the banker or lender to
arrive at the following factors :
 Liquidity position
 Profitability
 Solvency
 Financial Stability
 Quality of the Management
 Safety & Security of the loans & advances to be
or already been provided

4. HOW A RATIO IS EXPRESSED?
 As Percentage - such as 25% or 50% . For
example if net profit is Rs.25,000/- and the sales is
Rs.1,00,000/- then the net profit can be said to be
25% of the sales.
 As Proportion - The above figures may be
expressed in terms of the relationship between net
profit to sales as 1 : 4.
 As Pure Number /Times - The same can also be
expressed in an alternatively way such as the sale
is 4 times of the net profit or profit is 1/4th of the
sales.

7. SOME IMPORTANT NOTES
 Liabilities have Credit balance and Assets have Debit
balance
 Current Liabilities are those which have either become due
for payment or shall fall due for payment within 12 months
from the date of Balance Sheet
 Current Assets are those which undergo change in their
shape/form within 12 months. These are also called
Working Capital or Gross Working Capital
 Net Worth & Long Term Liabilities are also called Long
Term Sources of Funds
 Current Liabilities are known as Short Term Sources of
Funds
 Long Term Liabilities & Short Term Liabilities are also called

8. SOME IMPORTANT NOTES
 Assets other than Current Assets are Long Term Use of Funds
 Installments of Term Loan Payable in 12 months are to be taken
as Current Liability only for Calculation of Current Ratio & Quick
Ratio.
 If there is profit it shall become part of Net Worth under the head
Reserves and if there is loss it will become part of Intangible
Assets
 Investments in Govt. Securities to be treated current only if these
are marketable and due. Investments in other securities are to be
treated Current if they are quoted. Investments in
allied/associate/sister units or firms to be treated as Non-current.
 Bonus Shares as issued by capitalization of General reserves
and as such do not affect the Net Worth. With Rights Issue,
change takes place in Net Worth and Current Ratio.

9. 1. Current Ratio : It is the relationship between the
current assets and current liabilities of a concern.
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
If the Current Assets and Current Liabilities of a concern
are Rs.4,00,000 and Rs.2,00,000 respectively, then the
Current Ratio will be : Rs.4,00,000/Rs.2,00,000 = 2 : 1
The ideal Current Ratio preferred by Banks is
1.33 : 1
2. Net Working Capital : This is worked out as surplus of
Long Term Sources over Long Tern Uses, alternatively it
is the difference of Current Assets and Current
Liabilities.
NWC = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

10. 3. ACID TEST or QUICK RATIO : It is the ratio between Quick Current
Assets and Current Liabilities.
Quick Current Assets : Cash/Bank Balances + Receivables upto 6 months +
Quickly realizable securities such as Govt. Securities or quickly marketable/quoted
shares and Bank Fixed Deposits
Acid Test or Quick Ratio = Quick Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Example :
Cash 50,000
Debtors 1,00,000
Inventories 1,50,000 Current Liabilities 1,00,000
Total Current Assets 3,00,000
Current Ratio = > 3,00,000/1,00,000 = 3 : 1
Quick Ratio = > 1,50,000/1,00,000 = 1.5 : 1

11. 4. DEBT EQUITY RATIO : It is the relationship between
borrower’s fund (Debt) and Owner’s Capital (Equity).
Long Term Outside Liabilities / Tangible Net Worth
Liabilities of Long Term Nature
Total of Capital and Reserves & Surplus Less Intangible Assets
For instance, if the Firm is having the following :
Capital = Rs. 200 Lacs
Free Reserves & Surplus = Rs. 300 Lacs
Long Term Loans/Liabilities = Rs. 800 Lacs
Debt Equity Ratio will be => 800/500 i.e. 1.6 : 1

12. 5. PROPRIETARY RATIO : This ratio indicates the extent to which
Tangible Assets are financed by Owner’s Fund.
Proprietary Ratio = (Tangible Net Worth/Total Tangible
Assets) x 100
The ratio will be 100% when there is no Borrowing for purchasing
of Assets.
6. GROSS PROFIT RATIO : By comparing Gross Profit percentage to
Net Sales we can arrive at the Gross Profit Ratio which indicates the
manufacturing efficiency as well as the pricing policy of the concern.
Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit / Net Sales ) x 100
Alternatively , since Gross Profit is equal to Sales minus Cost of
Goods Sold, it can also be interpreted as below :
Gross Profit Ratio = [ (Sales – Cost of goods sold)/ Net Sales]
x 100
A higher Gross Profit Ratio indicates efficiency in production of the unit.

13. 7. OPERATING PROFIT RATIO :
It is expressed as => (Operating Profit / Net Sales ) x 100
Higher the ratio indicates operational efficiency
8. NET PROFIT RATIO :
It is expressed as => ( Net Profit / Net Sales ) x 100
It measures overall profitability.

14. 9. STOCK/INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO :
(Average Inventory/Sales) x 365 for days
(Average Inventory/Sales) x 52 for weeks
(Average Inventory/Sales) x 12 for months
Average Inventory or Stocks = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)
-----------------------------------------
2
. This ratio indicates the number of times the inventory is
rotated during the relevant accounting period

15. 10. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO : This is also called Debtors
Velocity or Average Collection Period or Period of Credit given .
(Average Debtors/Sales ) x 365 for days
(52 for weeks & 12 for months)
11. ASSET TRUNOVER RATIO : Net Sales/Tangible Assets
12. FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO : Net Sales /Fixed Assets
13. CURRENT ASSET TURNOVER RATIO : Net Sales / Current Assets
14. CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO : This is also called Creditors
Velocity Ratio, which determines the creditor payment period.
(Average Creditors/Purchases)x365 for days
(52 for weeks & 12 for months)

16. 15. RETRUN ON ASSETS : Net Profit after Taxes/Total Assets
16. RETRUN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED :
( Net Profit before Interest & Tax / Average Capital Employed) x 100
Average Capital Employed is the average of the equity share
capital and long term funds provided by the owners and the
creditors of the firm at the beginning and end of the accounting
period.

17. Composite Ratio
17. RETRUN ON EQUITY CAPITAL (ROE) :
Net Profit after Taxes / Tangible Net Worth
18. EARNING PER SHARE : EPS indicates the quantum of net profit
of the year that would be ranking for dividend for each share of
the company being held by the equity share holders.
Net profit after Taxes and Preference Dividend/ No. of Equity
Shares
19. PRICE EARNING RATIO : PE Ratio indicates the number of times
the Earning Per Share is covered by its market price.
Market Price Per Equity Share/Earning Per Share

18. 20. DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO : This ratio is one of the most
important one which indicates the ability of an enterprise to
meet its liabilities by way of payment of installments of Term
Loans and Interest thereon from out of the cash accruals and
forms the basis for fixation of the repayment schedule in
respect of the Term Loans raised for a project. (The Ideal DSCR
Ratio is considered to be 2 )
PAT + Depr. + Annual Interest on Long Term Loans & Liabilities
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual interest on Long Term Loans & Liabilities + Annual
Installments payable on Long Term Loans & Liabilities
( Where PAT is Profit after Tax and Depr. is Depreciation)

Ans : ( Average Debtors / Net Sales) x 12 = (125 / 1500) x 12
= 1 month
Q. What is the Creditors Velocity Ratio if Purchases are Rs.10.5 Lac ?
Ans : (Average Creditors / Purchases ) x 12 = (26 / 1050) x 12 = 0.3 months
Exercise 4. contd…

25. Exercise 5. : Profit to sales is 2% and amount of profit is say
Rs.5 Lac. Then What is the amount of Sales ?
Answer : Net Profit Ratio = (Net Profit / Sales ) x 100
2 = (5 x100) /Sales
Therefore Sales = 500/2 = Rs.250 Lac
Exercise 6. A Company has Net Worth of Rs.5 Lac, Term
Liabilities of Rs.10 Lac. Fixed Assets worth RS.16 Lac and
Current Assets are Rs.25 Lac. There is no intangible Assets
or other Non Current Assets. Calculate its Net Working
Capital.
Answer
Total Assets = 16 + 25 = Rs. 41 Lac
Total Liabilities = NW + LTL + CL = 5 + 10+ CL = 41 Lac
Current Liabilities = 41 – 15 = 26 Lac
Therefore Net Working Capital = C. A – C.L
= 25 – 26 = (- )1 Lac

26. Exercise 7 : Current Ratio of a concern is 1 : 1. What will be the Net
Working Capital ?
Answer : It suggest that the Current Assets is equal to Current Liabilities
hence the NWC would be NIL
Exercise 8 : Suppose Current Ratio is 4 : 1. NWC is Rs.30,000/-. What
is the amount of Current Assets ?
Answer : 4 x - 1 x = 30,000
Therefore x = 10,000 i.e. Current Liabilities is Rs.10,000
Hence Current Assets would be 4x = 4 x 10,000 = Rs.40,000/-
Exercise 9. The amount of Term Loan installment is Rs.10000/ per
month, monthly average interest on TL is Rs.5000/-. If the amount
of Depreciation is Rs.30,000/- p.a. and PAT is Rs.2,70,000/-. What
would be the DSCR ?
DSCR = (PAT + Depr + Annual Intt.) / Annual Intt + Annual Installment
= (270000 + 30000 + 60000 ) / 60000 + 120000
= 360000 / 180000 = 2

27. Exercise 10 : Total Liabilities of a firm is Rs.100 Lac and Current Ratio
is 1.5 : 1. If Fixed Assets and Other Non Current Assets are to the tune
of Rs. 70 Lac and Debt Equity Ratio being 3 : 1. What would be the Long
Term Liabilities?
Ans : We can easily arrive at the amount of Current Asset being Rs. 30 Lac
i.e. ( Rs. 100 L - Rs. 70 L ). If the Current Ratio is 1.5 : 1, then Current
Liabilities works out to be Rs. 20 Lac. That means the aggregate of Net
Worth and Long Term Liabilities would be Rs. 80 Lacs. If the Debt Equity
Ratio is 3 : 1 then Debt works out to be Rs. 60 Lacs and equity Rs. 20 Lacs.
Therefore the Long Term Liabilities would be Rs.60 Lac.
Exercise 11 : Current Ratio is say 1.2 : 1 . Total of balance sheet being
Rs.22 Lac. The amount of Fixed Assets + Non Current Assets is Rs. 10
Lac. What would be the Current Liabilities?
Ans : When Total Assets is Rs.22 Lac then Current Assets would be 22 – 10
i.e Rs. 12 Lac. Thus we can easily arrive at the Current Liabilities figure
which should be Rs. 10 Lac
