PREFACE
In any organization, the two important financial statements are the Balance Sheet and
Profit & Loss Account of the business. Balance Sheet is a statement of the financial
position of an enterprise at a particular point of time. Profit & Loss account shows the net
profit or net loss of a company for a specified period of time. When these statements of
the last few years of any organization are studied and analyzed, significant conclusions
may be arrived regarding the changes in the financial position, the important policies
followed and trends in profit and loss etc. Analysis and interpretation of financial
statements has now become an important technique of credit appraisal. The investors,
financial experts, management executives and the bankers all analyze these statements.
Though the basic technique of appraisal remains the same in all the cases, the approach
and the emphasis in the analysis vary. A banker interprets the financial statement so as to
evaluate the financial soundness and stability, the liquidity position and the profitability
necessary because it helps in depicting the financial position on the basis of past and
current records. Analysis of financial statements helps in making the future decisions and

merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's accrued debt (i.e., promise to the card
issuer to pay them for the amounts plus the other agreed charges). The card issuer (usually a bank
or credit union) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from
which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance. There are
two credit card groups: consumer credit cards and business credit cards. Most cards are plastic, but
some are metal cards (stainless steel, gold, palladium, titanium), and a few gemstone-encrusted
metal cards.

Research Methodology
MEANING:-
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense.
According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating
hypotheses or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions
and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit
the formulating hypothesis. D. Steiner and M. Stephenson in the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences
define research as “the manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing
to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in
the practice of an art.” It is actually a voyage of discovery. We all possess the vital instinct of
inquisitiveness for, when the unknown confronts us, we wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us
probe and attain full and fuller understanding of the unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of
all knowledge and the method, which man employs for obtaining the knowledge of whatever the

For accounting analysis ratio analysis has been used. Ratio Analysis The term ‘ratio’ refers to the
mathematical relationship between any two interrelated variables. According to J. Batty Ratio can
be defined as “the term accounting ratio is used to describe the significant relationship which exists
between figures shown in a balance sheet and profit and loss account in a budgetary control system
or any other part of the accounting management.” As per Myers, “Ratio analysis is a study of
between two different figures of the financial statement. Ratio analysis is an art of determining
Profitability can be measured in different ways- like income based, expense based and investment
based. This study is based on income based ratios and is confined to four ratios which are as
follows: Earning profit is one of the objectives of every business concern. A company must have
sufficient profits in relation to the capital employed by it. Profitability of a company is indicated by
the amount of profits earned in comparison to capital invested in businessThe term accounting

profit and loss account, in a budgetary control system or in any other part of the accounting
organization. Ratio simply refers to one number expressed in terms of another number. Ratio

However, ratio analysis is not an end to itself. It is only a means of better understanding of
financial strength, weakness of a firm. Calculation of mere accounting ratios does not serve any
Liquidity Ratio
The term liquidity refers to the firm’s ability to meet its current liabilities. Liquidity ratios are
used to measure the liquidity position or short-term financial position of a firm. These ratios
35
are used to assess the short-term debt paying ability of a firm, important liquidity ratios are
Current Ratio
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
This ratio is also known as working capital ratio. It is a measure of general liquidity and is the
most widely used to make the analysis of short term financial or liquidity of a firm. It is
calculated by dividing the total current assets by total current liabilities and the ideal current
Current liabilities
The higher the current ratio, the greater the firm’s ability to meet the short-term debts. A very
a high current ratio indicates too much money is blocked in current assets etc. In short, a very
A high current ratio indicates that the firm will find it difficult to pay off its debts.
Quick Ratio
The term liquidity ratio refers to the ability of a firm to pay off its short-term obligations as
36
and when they become due. Cash in hand and cash at bank are the
most liquid asset. The other assets included in the liquid assets are bills receivables, sundry
debtors, marketable and short term or temporary investments. The Ideal liquid or quick ratio
Current liabilities
Liquid ratio is considered to be superior to current ratio in testing the liquidity position of a
firm. If the current ratio is 2:1 and quick ratio is 1:1; the liquidity position may be considered
satisfactory. If the current ratio is higher than 2:1, but quick ratio is less than 1:1, it indicates
excessive inventory.
This ratio establishes the relationship between super quick assets and quick liabilities. And it
is taken as a ratio of absolute liquid assets or absolute quick assets include cash in hand, cash
at bank and marketable securities or short-term investments. It is also known as cash ratio.
37
And ideal absolute liquid ratio is 0.5: 19
Current Liabilities
Solvency Ratio
Solvency ratio is one of the various ratios used to measure the ability of a company to meet
its long-term debts. Solvency ratio is also called leverage ratio. It focuses on the long-term
Proprietary Ratio
Proprietary ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders or proprietors fund and
total assets. This ratio shows how much funds have been contributed by shareholders in the
total assets of the firm. Proprietary ratio is also known as equity ratio or net worth ratio. It is
computed as follows:
Total assets
38
This ratio shows the financial health of the firm. A high ratio indicates safety to the creditors and
a low ratio shows greater risk to the creditors. The ideal ratio is 0.5:1 or above.
Profitability Ratios
The ultimate aim of any business enterprise is to earn maximum profit. To the management,
profit is the measure of efficiency and control. Profitability ratio measures the ability of the
firm to earn an adequate return on sales, total assets and invested capital. There are two types
of profitability ratios. First, profitability based on sales and it includes gross profit ratio,
operating ratio, operating profit ratio and net profit ratio. Second, profitability ratio based on
investment and it includes return on investment, return on shareholders fund ratio, return on
equity ratio and return on total assets. Profit is important for everyone associated with the
This is the ratio of net profit to shareholder’s fund or net worth. It measures the profitability
from shareholders point of view. This ratio is called the ‘mother of all the ratio’. This is
perhaps the most important ratio because it measures the return that is earned on the owner’s
39
capital. It is calculated as follows:
Shareholder’s fund
When a firm invest money in a business, it naturally expects adequate return on its
investment. Therefore, the firm wants to know how much profit is earning on its investment.
For this, ROI is computed. It establishes the relationship between return and investment. It is
Capital employed
Capital employed may be gross capital employed or net capital employed. Gross
capital employed means total assets minus current liabilities. Alternatively, it refers to total of
share capital, revenue reserves, debenture and other long-term loans. Profit before interest
and tax is calculated as gross profit minus operating expenses. The ideal return on investment
ratio is 15%. The higher the return on investment, greater is the overall profitability and more
40
is the efficient use of capital employed.
Net profit ratio is the ratio of net profits to revenues for the company or business segment. It
measures the overall profitability.Net profit and net sales are the two components of net profit
ratio. Net profit is the final profit after adjusting all expenses and all incomes. The main

financial statements. Ratios tell the story of changes in financial condition of the
business.
❖ Facilitates inter firm comparison: Ratio analysis provides data for inter company
comparison. Ratio highlights the association with successful and unsuccessful firms.
They also reveal strong and weak companies, overvalued and undervalued companies.
❖ Makes intra firm comparison possible: Ratio analysis also makes possible
41
comparison of the performance of different divisions of the company. The ratio helpful
❖ Helps in planning: Ratio Analysis helps in planning and forecasting over period of
time a company develops certain norms that may indicate future success/ failure. If
relationship changes in firms data over different time periods. The ratio may provide
❖ Liquidity position: With the help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn
regarding the liquidity position of the company. The liquidity position of a company could
be satisfactory if it is able to meet its current obligations when they become due.
❖ Long term solvency: Ratio analysis equally useful for assessing the long-term
capital structure and profitability ratios, which focus on earning power and operating
efficiency.
Disadvantages:
42
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. Yet, it suffers from various limitations.
The operational implication of this is that while using ratios, the conclusion should not been taken
on their face value. Some of the limitation which characterize ratio analysis are
1. Difficulty in comparison
One serious limitation of ratio analysis arises out of the difficulty associated with their
comparability. One technique that is employed is inter firm comparison. But such comparisons
are vitiated by different procedures adopted by various firms. The difference may relate to
● Different depreciation methods (i.e. straight line vs. written down basis)
● Capitalization of lease
43
Secondly, apart from different accounting procedures, companies may have different
accounting periods, implying differences in the composition of the assets, particularly the current
assets. For these reasons, the ratios of two firms may not be strictly comparable.
2. Impact of inflation
The second major limitation of the ratio analysis as a tool of financial analysis is
associated with price level changes. This, in fact is a weakness of the traditional financial
statements which are based on historical cost. An implication of this feature of the financial
statement as regards ratio analysis is that assets acquired at different periods are, in effect,
shown at different prices in the balance sheet, as they are not adjusted for changes in the price
level. As a result, ratio analysis will not yield strictly comparable and therefore, dependable
results.
3. Conceptual Diversity
Yet another factor which affects the usefulness of ratios is that there is difference of
opinion regarding the various concepts used to compute the ratios. there is scope for diversity
of opinion as to what constitutes shareholders’ equity, debt, asset, profit and so on. Different
44
firms may use these terms in different senses or the same firm may use them to mean different
Reliance on a single ratio for a particular purpose may not be a conclusive indicator. for
instance, the current ratio alone is not a adequate measure of short-term financial strength; it
should be supplemented by the acid test ratio, debtors turnover ratio and inventory and
inventory turnover ratio to have a real insight into the liquidity aspect.
The objective of the ratio is to measure the overall profitability. This ratio indicates how much of
The sales are left after meeting expenses. The ideal net profit ratio is 5% - 10%.
Net sales
Net profits can be taken as profit before tax and profits after tax. Higher the ratio, better is the
profitability.
