of money (funds) in such a manner as to accomplish the objectives of the
organization. It is the specialized function directly associated with the top
management. The significance of this function is not only seen in the 'Line'
but also in the capacity of 'Staff' in overall administration of a company. It
has been defined differently by different experts in the field. It includes how
to raise the capital, how to allocate it i.e. capital budgeting. Not only about
long term budgeting but also how to allocate the short term resources like
current assets. It also deals with the dividend policies of the share holders.

projects, budgets and other finance-
related entities to determine their

financial analysis is used to analyze
whether an entity is stable, solvent,
liquid, or profitable enough to be
invested in.
Some important ratios for analyzing
performance of a company:
Operating profit margin
Net profit margin
Return on Capital Employed
Current Ratio
Debt Equity ratio
Interest coverage ratio
Earnings per share
Price Earnings ratio
Return on Net worth
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
ANALYSIS
20. Operating profit margin
Indicates the business profitability
OPM = EBITDA / Operating Income (or Net Sales)
Net profit margin
Indicates the returns generated by the business for its owners
NPM = PAT / Operating Income (or Net Sales)
Return on Capital Employed
Indicates true measure of performance of an enterprise
The capital employed in business is Equity capital, reserves and surplus,
long term debt and short term debt.
Returns generated for all these providers of capital is EBIT.
ROCE = EBIT / (‘Networth’ + ‘Total Debt’)
The ratio is independent of the industry, capital structure or asset
intensity.
Interest coverage
The ratio indicates the cushion the company has, to service its interest
Interest coverage = EBITDA / Interest cost
Higher the ratio, better it is for the lenders
For healthy companies, Interest coverage ranges from 2.0x to 8.0x.
RATIOS
21. Debt Equity ratio
The ratio of borrowed funds to owners’ funds
D:E ratio is also known as ‘gearing’, ‘leverage’ or ‘capital structure’
Gearing = (Long term debt + Short Term debt)
(Equity capital + Reserves & Surplus)
For most manufacturing companies, D:E less than 2.0x is considered
healthy.
Current ratio
This is a commonly used ‘liquidity ratio’, used by banks that lend for
‘working capital’
Current ratio = Current Assets
Current liabilities + Short term debt
The ratio indicates the ratio of short term assets to short term
liabilities.
Indirectly, the ratio also indicates the proportion of long term assets
funded by long term liabilities.
For solvent companies, current ratio ranges between 1.2x to 2.0x.
RATIOS
22. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The Profit earned by the company for each share in the share capital
of the enterprise
EPS = Profit After Tax
Number of Equity shares outstanding
Price - Earnings Ratio (PE)
The ratio of current market price of the equity share to the annual
earnings per share
PE = Current Market Price per share
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
PE is expressed in ratio or times.
When EPS is negative, PE is meaningless.

information:

accounting information (i.e. investors, industry commentators
and government agencies), whereas management accounts are
