Review
Gopinathan (2009), in the study entitled “Profitability in Banks, a matter of survival” has
presented that the financial ratio analysis can spot better investment options for investors as the
ratio analysis measures various aspects of the performance and analyzes fundamentals of a
company or an institution.
Sthapit & Maharjan(2012), in the study entitled “Impact of liquidity management on profitability
“found that trend of average liquidity ratios and profitability of both banks are not seems to be
fluctuating but average variation in liquidity ratios as well as profitability of SCBN is lower than
of NIBL.
Jha &Hui (2012), in the study entitled “A comparison of financial performance of commercial
bank in Nepal” shows that public sector banks are significantly less efficient than their
counterpart are; however domestic private banks are equally efficient to foreign-owned banks.
Islam (2014), in the study entitled “An Analysis of the Financial Performance of National Bank
Limited Using Financial Ratio” shows that this study attempts primarily to identify whether any
difference exists between a bank’s years of operation and its performance classifying two period
(2008-10 & 2011-13). So, this analysis helps to see the current performance condition of this
bank comparing past performance.
Methods
There are two types of research which are used for study such as Descriptive research and
Quantitative research. The report “Profitability Analysis of Nepal Investment Bank Linited” is
used under the performance of the bank to calculate financial ratio. So, Descriptive Research is
used because it uses scientific method of collecting, classifying and analyzing related data, facts
and figure. Descriptive research does not fit neatly into the definition of either quantitative or
qualitative research methodologies, but instead it can utilize elements of both, often within the
same study. The term descriptive research refers to the type of research question, design, and
data analysis that will be applied to a given topic.
Data is defined as recorded factual material commonly retained by and accepted in the scientific
community as necessary to validate research findings; although the majority of such data is
created in digital format. There are two types of data such as:
Primary data and Secondary data: - Data collected by the investigator himself/ herself for a
specific purpose is called primary data. Examples: Data collected by a student for his/her
thesis or research project. Data collected by someone else for some other purpose is called
secondary data. Examples: Census data being used to analyze the impact of education on
career choice and earning.
Qualitative and quantitative data: - The information about quantities; that is, information that
can be measured and written down with numbers is called quantitative data. Some examples
of quantitative data are your height, your shoe size, and the length of your fingernails.
Qualitative data is the information about qualities; information that can't actually be measured.
Some examples of qualitative data are the softness of your skin, the grace with which you run,
and the color of your eyes.
Therefore, for my research secondary as well as quantitative data has been used.
The technique of analysis of this study data has been presented and calculated in terms of tables,
formats, diagrams, graphs, and charts. Simple analysis i.e. trend analysis is also used.
Limitations of the study
Data Presentation
Profitability ratio is the net result of a large number of policies and decisions. The data can be
presented with the help of tables and figures as well as Trend analysis . The ratios provide some
information about the way the form of operating, but the profitability ratios show the combined
effects of liquidity, assets management and debt management on operating results. Data analysis
helps in the interpretation of data and takes a decision or answer the research question. Data
analysis starts with the collection of data followed by data processing by various data processing
methods and sorting it. Processed data helps in obtaining information from it as the raw data is
non-comprehensive in nature.
Data can be presented in various forms depending on the type of data collected. The data can be
presented with the help of tables and figures as well as Trend analysis. The presentation of data
helps to study, evaluate and analyze the major financial performances which are related to
