Useful when benchmark ratios are
known
Relationships between variables in
the financial statement
8. Types of ratios
Liquidity ratios
Capital Structure ratios

Activity/Efficiency ratios
Integrated Analysis of ratios
Growth ratios
9. Overview of Balance Sheet
LIABILITIES
Equity
Capital/Owners’
Funds
Long Term
Borrowings
Current Liabilities
ASSETS
Fixed Assets
Current Assets
10. Liquidity Ratios
Measure the ability of firm to meet
short term obligations
Reflect short term financial strength
Why short term??- of interest to
creditors..
Ratios- Current ratio, Liquid ratio,
Turnover ratios, cash flow from
operation ratio
11. Liquidity ratios
Current Ratio= Current Assets/
Current Liabilities
Liquid ratio= Liquid Assets/Current
Liabilities
12. NEED FOR LIQUIDITY
Assume stocks are bought on credit
Converted to inventory
Sales=0
Current Ratio??
Liquid Ratio??
Implications on liquidity-serious
13. ACTIVITY 1
Calculate Current Ratio, Liquid ratio,
Debtors Turnover and Creditors turnover
from the following information
Average Debtors=1,00,000
Average Creditors=75,000
Cash= 5,000
Inventory=75,000
Credit Purchases=6,00,000
Credit Sales=12,00,000
14. Capital Structure ratios
Helps to measure long term financial
strength
Solvency of the firm
Ability to service interest on loans
Ability to service the principal
15. Capital Structure Ratios
Debt Equity ratio= Long Term
Debt/Shareholders Equity
Debt to total Capital= Total
Debt/Total Assets
Interest Coverage Ratio= Earnings
Before Interest and Tax/Interest
16. ACTIVITY 2
What happens when a firm is purely
funded by equity?
What happens when a firm is purely
funded by debt?
Which is riskier when profits are less?
When equity is high and profits are
high, what happens to ROI?
17. Profitability ratios
Related to Sales
Ability of the firm to mark up on sales
Ability of firm to convert margins to
profit
Proportion of expense to income
Analysis of income and expenses
18. Profitability ratios
Gross Profit Margin= Gross
profit/Sales*100
Operating Profit ratio= Earnings
Before Interest and taxes/Net Sales
Net Profit Ratio= Earnings after
interest and taxes/Net Sales
Expenses ratio- Cost of Goods sold,
Operating Ratio, Financial Expenses
19. Ratios on Investments
Related to investment
Ability to generate return on
investment
Ultimate measure of profitability
Ability of firm to generate wealth
20. Profitability on Investment
Return on Assets= Profit after
Taxes/Average total assets*100
Return on Capital Employed=
EBIT/Average Total Capital
Employed*100
Return on Shareholders Equity=
Net profit after taxes/Average
shareholders’ equity*100
21. ACTIVITY 3
Earnings Before Interest and Tax=
Rs.5,00,000
Interest payment =Rs.75,000
Tax rate = 50%
Calculate Earnings after Interest and
tax
22. Profitability on investment
Earnings per share=Net Profit
available to Equity
Shareholders/Number of ordinary
shares outstanding
Price earning ratio= Market price of
share/EPS
23. ACTIVITY 4
Calculate Gross Profit Margin and Net
profit Margin
Sales 2,00,000
Cost of Goods Sold 1,00,000
Other operating expenses 50,000
24. ACTIVITY 5
Calculate Return on Assets
Current Assets 4,00,000
Fixed Assets 6,00,000
Net Profit before taxes 2,50,000
Tax rate 50%
25. Activity Ratios
Concerned with measuring the
efficiency
Also the asset utilisation
Rate at which assets are converted
into sales
Test of relationship of sales to various
assets of the firm
27. Activity ratios
Turnover refers to the number of
times the asset turned over
Does faster turnover mean efficiency?
What does a slow turnover of
inventory mean?
Should inventory turnover be
homogenous across industries?
28. ACTIVITY 6
In which industries inventory
turnover is irrelevant?
Which industries have seasonal
turnover of inventory?
Which are the industries where
turnover is not rapid?
When will the Debtor Turnover be
irrelevant?
29. Integrated Analysis of ratios
To understand the interrelationship of
ratios
Operating efficiency-combination of
various factors
Tests the earning power of the firm
31. Growth ratios
Growth that can be sustained without
external funding
Earnings that are retained and
reinvested within the firm
The two common measures used are
Internal Growth rate-without raising
funds
Sustainable growth rate- Without
altering Debt Equity ratio
32. ACTIVITY 7
Which ratios will you look for when
you want to invest in a firm
Which are the ratios a banker will
look for?
Which ratios are relevant from the
point of view of revenue?

calculating ratios

Heavy Engineering, Infrastructure..
Age of the firm
Industry benchmark
Peculiarities in the business
Risk Factors
35. Limitations of ratio Analysis
Individual accounting variations
Impact of inflation
Conceptual diversity
Only quantifiable inputs can be
evaluated
