D. Tabije, (2002) says that financial ratio analysis doesn't involve just comparing
different numbers from the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. It's comparing the numbers against previous years, other companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. It's an excellent method for determining the overall financial condition of a business. Ratios can also help you spot potential threats to company health to help you decide where to dive deeper into the analysis. Financial ratio analysis is well developed and the actual ratios are well known. Don't assume, however, that the conclusions based on the analysis are cut and dried. Accountants who spend a lot of time doing financial analysis develop their own measures for particular industries and even for individual companies. They often differ drastically in their conclusions from the same ratio analysis.

Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decisions. Ratio may be expressed in either of three ways. It may be a quotient obtained by dividing one value by the other. This unit of expression is called as times. If the quotient is multiplied by one hundred, the unit of expression becomes percentage. It may also be stated in terms of proportion between the two figures. Thus times, percentage and proportion are the three forms of expressing ratio.

ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS It makes it easy to grasp the relationship between various items and helps in understanding the financial statements. Inter firm comparisons can be made with the help of ratios, which may help management in evolving future market strategies. It throws light on the degree of efficiency of the management and utilization of the assets and that is why it is called surveyor of efficiency. They help management in decision making. A. LIQUIDITY RATIO 1. Current ratio Current Ratio is the most common ratio for measuring liquidity. It represents the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It is also called Working Capital Ratio, is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis of a short term financial position or liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by dividing the total of current assets by current liabilities. Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Significance The current ratio of firm measures its short term solvency, i.e., its ability to meet short term obligations. In a sound business a current ratio of 2:1 is considered an ideal one. It provides a margin of safety to the creditors. It is an index of the firms financial stability. The current ratio must not only be equal to current liabilities but should leave a comfortable margin of working capital after paying of the current liabilities. A high ratio indicates sound solvency position and a low ratio indicates inadequate working capital. 2. Quick ratio This ratio is also known as Acid Test or Liquid Ratio, is a more rigorous test of liquidity than the current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short term obligations and when they become due. Quick ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick/liquid assets and current or liquid liabilities. An asset is said to be
IMK KUNDARA 25
KERAFED
liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short period without loss of value. The quick ratio can be calculated by dividing the total of the quick assets by current liabilities. Quick Ratio = Quick or Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities Significance An Acid Test Ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory as a firm can easily meet all its current liabilities. If the ratio is less than 1:1, then the financial position of the concern shall be deemed to be unsound. On the other hand, if the ratio is more than 1:1, then the financial position of the concern is sound and good. Quick ratio is the true test of business solvency. A higher ratio indicates sound financial position and vice-versa. 3. Absolute liquid ratio This ratio is obtained by dividing cash and marketable securities by current liabilities. It is also known as cash position ratio. Some authorities are of the opinion that the absolute liquid liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current ratio and acid test ratio so as to exclude even receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets. Absolute Liquid Ratio = Absolute Liquid Assets/ Current Liabilities Significance The acceptable norm for this ratio is 50% or 0.5:1 or 2 i.e. Re. 1 worth absolute liquid assets are considered adequate to pay Rs. 2 worth current liabilities in time as all the creditors are not expected to demand cash at the same time and then cash may also be realized from debtors and inventories. B. LEVERAE RATIO 1. Debt-Equity Ratio The relationship between borrowed funds and owners capital is a popular measure of the long term financial solvency of a firm. Thos relationship is shown by the debt-equity ratio. This ratio indicates the relative proport5ion of debt and equity in financing the assets of a firm. This ratio is computed by dividing the total debt of the firm by its net worth. Debt-Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity
IMK KUNDARA
26
KERAFED
Significance An acceptable norm for this ratio is considered to be 2:1. A high ratio shows that the claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A very high ratio is unfavorable from the point of view of the firm. A high debt company(high geared or leveraged) is able to borrow funds on very restrictive term and conditions. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater claim of owners than creditors. From the point of view of creditors, it represents a satisfactory capital structure of the business. 2. Proprietary Ratio A variant to the debt-equity ratio is the proprietary ratio which is also known as Equity Ratio or Shareholders to Total Equities Ratio or Net Worth or Total Assets Ratio. This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders funds to total assets of the firm. The ratio of proprietors funds to total funds is an important ratio for determining long term solvency of a firm. The components of this ratio are Shareholders Funds or Proprietors Funds and Total Assets. Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders Funds/Total Assets Significance This ratio shows the financial strength of the company. It helps the creditors to find out the proportion of shareholders fund in the total assets. Higher ratio indicates a secured position to creditors and a low ratio indicates greater risk to creditors. It indicates the long term solvency of the firm. 3. Fixed Assets to Net worth Ratio This ratio shows the relationship between fixed assets and shareholders fund. The purpose of this ratio is to find out the percentage of the owners fund invested in fixed assets. Fixed Assets to Net Worth = Fixed Assets/Shareholders Fund Significance If the ratio is greater than one, it means that creditors funds have been used to acquire a part of the fixed assets. If the ratio is less than 100%, it implies that owners funds are more than total fixed assets and a part of the working capital is provided by the shareholders. When
IMK KUNDARA 27
KERAFED
the ratio is more than 100%, it implies that owners funds are not sufficient to finance the fixed assets and the firm has to depend upon outsiders to finance the fixed assets. C. PROFITABILITY RATIO 1. Gross profit ratio The gross profit ratio plays an important role in two management areas. In the area of financial management, the ratio serves as a valuable indicator of the firms ability to utilize effectively outside sources of fund. Gross profit ratio=Gross profit/Net Sales*100 2. Net profit ratio The ratio is also calleda s the net profit to sales or net profit margin ratio. It determined by dividing the net income after tax to the net sales for the period and measures the profit per rupee of sales. Net profit ratio=Net profit/sales*100 D. ACTIVITY RATIO These ratios are also called as Turnover Ratios. This ratio highlights upon the activity and operational efficiency of the business concern. Activity ratios measure how efficient the assets are employed by the firm. This ratio indicates the speed with which assets are converted into sales. These ratios are also called efficiency ratios. i. Total Asset Turnover Ratio A firm ability to produce a large volume of sales for a given amount of net assets is the most important aspect of its operating performance. It shows the firm operating efficiency. This ratio shows the firms ability in generating sales from all financial resources committed to assets.

ii. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio It measures the capacity of utilization and the quantity of fixed assets. This ratio expresses the number of times fixed assets are being turned over. This ratio shows the relationship between sales and fixed assets. Thus ratio shows how the fixed asset will are being used in the business. Higher the ratio, indicate the better performance. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Fixed Asset iii. Inventory Turnover Ratio Inventory turnover ratio shows how rapidly the inventory is turning into receivables through sales. Inventory ratio expresses the relationship between sales and inventory. It denotes the efficiency in inventory management. Inventory Turnover Ratio = Sales Inventory iv. Debtors Turnover Ratio Debtors turnover ratio indicates the number of times debtors turnover each year. This ratio the measure of the accounts receivables and tells about the efficiency of the credit policy of the company. Higher the ratio indicates, more efficient in the management of credit. Debtors Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Sundry Debtors v. Average Collection Period Average collection period indicates how fast the debtors of the firm are get collected. Shorter the average collection period, better will be the quality of the debtors.

Working capital turnover ratio This ratio provides information about how effeciently the working capital is rotated in the business within a period of one year.The higher the ratio,the greater would be the operational effeciency of the business on utilising the short-term funds.
vii.
Inventory holding period The number of days inventory is also known as average inventory period and inventory holding period. A high number of days inventory indicates that their is a lack of demand for the product being sold.A low days inventory ratio (inventory holding period) may indicate that the company is not keeping enough stock on hand to meet demands. Inventory holding period is calculated as follows: Inventory holding period = Inventory / Sales x 365
CORRELATION CO-EFFICIENT
The coefficient of correlation measures the degree of relationship between two casually related variables. The value of this coefficient can never be more than +1 or less than -1.Thus +1 and -1 are the limits of this coefficient. For a unit change in independent variable, if there happens to be a constant change in the dependent variable in the same direction, then the value of the coefficient will be +1, indicating the perfect positive correlation. But if such a change occurs
IMK KUNDARA 30

in the opposite direction, the value the value of coefficient will be -1, indicating the perfect negative correlation. But if such a change occurs in the opposite direction, the value of the coefficient will be -1, indicating the perfect negative correlation. If the coefficient of correlation has a zero value then it means that there exists no correlation between the variable under study.
REGRESSION ANALYSIS
Regression analysis means the estimation or prediction of the unknown value of one variable from the known value of the other variable. It is one of the very important statistical tools which are extensively used in almost all sciences natural, social and physical. It is specially used in business and economics to study the relationship cost functions, production and consumption function, etc. this can be used for prediction or estimation of future production, price, sales, income, profits etc which are of great importance to a business.

3. OPERATING RATIO
This ratio is complementary of net profit ratio. The operating expenses include overheads and direct cost. This ratio is the test of the operational efficiency with which the business is being carried. The operating ratio should be low enough to leave a portion of sales to give a fair return, to the investors. A comparison of the operating ratio will indicate whether the cost component is high or low in the figure of sales. In case the comparison shows that there is increase should be found out and management be advice to check the increase. The expenses ratio is, therefore very important for analyzing the profitability of a firm.

SUGGESTIONS
1) Lower current ratio results over capitalization or over trading. Here the company needs to increase its short term financial position. 2) The company must increase the shareholders investment in the total assets of the company. 3) 4) The company has to increase production and sales to increase the profit. Company is providing high interest rate for long term loans. This reduces the earning capacity of the firm. So the firm should reduce dependency on loan. 5) More promotional activities should be put forward for the existing product and try to improve the sales volume 6) The debt equity ratio reveals that KERAFED has excess debt capital. So adequate measure should be taken to decrease the debt capital and increase the owners fund. 7) 8) 9) Sundry debtors should maintain efficiently and properly. The company needs to manage the funds more efficiently. The company has to improve its net profit by reducing loan and increase sales
