Financial statements are formal records of the financial activities and position of a business,
organization, or individual. These statements provide a summary of the entity's financial
performance and financial position over a specific period of time, typically consisting of an
income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. The income statement shows
revenue and expenses, indicating the profitability of the entity. The balance sheet provides a
snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity, revealing the financial position at a specific point in
time. Finally, the cash flow statement outlines how cash is generated and used, offering insights
into the entity's liquidity and operational activities. Financial statements are crucial tools for
assessing the financial health and performance of an entity, aiding investors, creditors, and
stakeholders in making informed decisions.

the liabilities including the equities of owners and outsiders at a particular time.
• Profit and Loss account: It shows the summary of operations of a firm in a given period

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL ANLYSIS
➢ Ratio Analysis: Ratio analysis involves calculating key financial ratios to evaluate various
aspects of a company's performance. Examples include the debt-to-equity ratio, which assesses
a company's leverage, and the return on investment (ROI), which measures profitability. Ratios
provide a quick snapshot of a company's financial health and allow for comparisons with
industry benchmarks or competitors.
➢ Trend Analysis: Trend analysis involves reviewing financial data over multiple reporting
periods to identify patterns and changes. By recognizing consistent upward or downward
trends, analysts gain insights into a company's historical performance. This information is
valuable for predicting future developments and assessing the company's overall financial
health.
15
RATIO ANLYSIS
Ratio analysis is a fundamental technique in financial statement analysis that involves the
calculation and interpretation of various financial ratios to assess a company's performance,
financial health, and efficiency. These ratios are derived from key figures in a company's
financial statements, such as the income statement and balance sheet. Common financial ratios
include liquidity ratios (like the current ratio), which measure a company's ability to meet short-
term obligations, profitability ratios (such as the return on equity), which assess the company's
ability to generate profits, and leverage ratios (like the debt-to-equity ratio), which evaluate the
company's use of debt.
By analyzing these ratios, stakeholders, including investors, analysts, and management, can
gain valuable insights into different aspects of a company's operations. For instance, a high
current ratio may indicate strong short-term liquidity, while a low debt-to-equity ratio suggests
lower financial risk. Ratio analysis also facilitates comparisons between companies within the
same industry or against industry benchmarks, helping stakeholders make informed decisions
about investments, creditworthiness, and overall financial strategy. Overall, ratio analysis
serves as a powerful tool for understanding a company's financial position and performance in
a concise and quantifiable manner.

CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS:
A. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
B. SOLVENCY RATIOS
D. PROFITABILITY RATIONS
A. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
The term liquidity refers to the firm's ability to pay its current liabilities out of its current assets
liquidity ratios are used to measure the liquidity position or short term financial position of a
firm. These ratios are used to assess the short-term debt paying ability of a firm. These ratios
are highly useful to creditors and commercial banks that provide short term credit. Important
liquidity ratios are current ratio, quick ratio, super quick ratio etc.
1. Current ratio
1) Current ratio
Current ratio is defined as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It shows the
relationship between total current assets and total current liabilities. In short, current ratio is a
17
measure of the ability of a firm to pay its current liabilities out of current assets Current ratio
is also called working capital ratio. It is calculated as follows:
Standard Current Ratio: The ideal current ratio of 2:1 is considered satisfactory or ideal.
Significance of Current Ratio: The current ratio indicates the firm's capacity to pay its current
liabilities in time. It is an index of the strength of working capital. It represents the margin of
Safety or cushion available to the creditors. In short, current ratio is an important ratio for
analysing the liquidity position or short-term financial position of a firm.
The acid test ratio, also known as the quick ratio or Liquid ratio, measures a company's ability
to meet its short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets. It excludes inventory from the
calculation, focusing on cash, marketable securities, and receivables. A higher acid test ratio
indicates a better ability to cover immediate financial obligations, providing insight into a
company's liquidity and financial health.It is computed as follows:
Significance of liquid ratio: The liquid ratio, or quick ratio, is significant as it assesses a
company's ability to meet short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets. A higher ratio
suggests better liquidity and a stronger ability to cover immediate financial obligations. It helps
investors and creditors gauge the company's short-term financial health and its capacity to
handle unexpected expenses
Absolute liquid ratio, also known as the cash ratio, is a measure of a company's ability to cover
its immediate liabilities using only its most liquid assets, such as cash and cash equivalents. It
provides a conservative view of short-term liquidity, indicating the company's capacity to meet
obligations without relying on less liquid assets. A higher absolute liquid ratio suggests a
stronger ability to settle short-term debts. It is computed as follows.
18
Standard absolute liquid ratio: The standard absolute liquid ratio, or cash ratio, is generally
considered acceptable if it is around 0.5
Significance of absolute liquid ratio: The significance of absolute liquid ratio is that it shows
how quickly a company can pay its short-term debts with its most liquid assets, such as cash,
bank deposits, and marketable securities. It indicates the level of cash availability and liquidity
risk of the company. A higher ratio means that the company has enough cash to meet its current
obligations without relying on other sources of financing. A lower ratio means that the company
may face difficulties in paying its debts and may need to sell its assets or borrow more money
B. SOLVENCY RATIOS
Solvency ratios measure a company's ability to meet its long-term financial obligations and
remain financially stable. These ratios assess the proportion of debt in a company's capital
structure and its capacity to repay long-term debts using its assets. A higher solvency ratio
indicates greater financial strength and a reduced risk of insolvency, providing insights into a
company's long-term sustainability and creditworthiness. Monitoring solvency ratios helps
stakeholders assess a company's ability to honor its long-term commitments.
2) Proprietary ratio
The debt-to-equity ratio is a financial metric that compares a company's total debt to its
shareholders' equity. It indicates the proportion of financing that comes from debt compared to
equity. A higher debt-to equity ratio suggests higher financial leverage, potentially increasing
financial risk, while a lower ratio implies a more conservative capital structure. It is computed
as follows:
Standard debt equity ratio: A standard debt-to-equity ratio is generally considered acceptable
if it is around 1:1, indicating that a company's total debt is equal to its shareholders' equity
19
Significance of debt equity ratio: The debt-to-equity ratio is significant as it measures a
company's financial leverage and risk. A lower ratio suggests a conservative capital structure,
indicating less reliance on debt for financing. Conversely, a higher ratio signals increased
financial risk, making it crucial for stakeholders to assess a company's ability to manage and
repay its debt obligations.
2) Proprietary ratio
The proprietary ratio is a measure of how much of a company’s assets are owned by its
shareholders. It shows how much a company relies on equity rather than debt to finance its
