1 INTRODUCTION
Financial management has vital and an integrated part of business management.
Financial management is concerned with the planning and controlling of the firms financial
resource. It is often said that the financial management has received less emphasis as
compared to topics like production and marketing. However, the task of financial planning
and controlling will assume relative more important role than in the past due to certain
changes that have taken place or will take place in economy. Factors such as increasing pace
of industrialization, technological innovations land inventions, raising price levels, increasing
influence of government in financial matters etc...
DEFINATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
Financial management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the planning
and controlling of the firms financial resources.
OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
The financial objective of a company is to maximize owners economic welfare. However,
there is disagreement as to how the economic welfare of owners can be maximized. They are
mainly two points discussed.
1. Profit maximization
2. Wealth maximization
1
Profit maximization suffers from the following limitations
1. It is vague
2. It ignores the timing of returns
3. It ignores risk.
WEALTH MAXIMIZATION:
Wealth maximization means maximizing the net present value of a course of action to
shareholders. Wealth of a course of action is the difference between that present value of its
benefits and the present value of its costs.
1. Questions of the timing and risk of the expected benefits.
2. Wealth maximization objective is an appropriate and operationally feasible criterion to
choose among the alternative financial actions.
3. Maximize in making investment and financing decisions on behalf of shareholders.

1. Past Ratios
2. Projected Ratio
3. Competitors Ratios
4. Industry ratios
Cross-Sectional Analysis:
Comparing the ratios of one firm with some selected firms in the same industry at the same
pint in time is known as the cross-sectional analysis.
Pro Forma Analysis:
The comparison of current (or) past ratios with future ratios is projected analysis or pro forma
analysis. It shows the firms relative strengths and weaknesses in the past and future. Future
ratios can be developed from the projected or pro forma, financial statements.
Utility of Ratio Analysis:
The Ratio analysis is the most powerful tool of financial analysis with the help of ratios
one can determine:
The ability of the firm to meet its current obligations;
The extent to which the firm has used its long-term solvency by borrowing funds;
The efficiency with which of the firm is utilizing its assets in generating sales
revenue.
The overall operating efficiency and performance of the firm.
Performance Analysis:
A short-term creditor will be interested in the current financial position of the firm,
while a long-term creditor will pay more attention to the solvency of the firm. He will also be
interested in the profitability of the firm. The equity shareholders are generally concerned
with their return and also about the financial conditions only when their earnings are depress.
Credit Analysis:
In credit analysis, the analyst will usually select a few important ratios. He may
use the current ratio or quick-ratio to judge the firms liquidity or debt-paying ability debt-
equity ratio to determine the stake of the owners in the business and the firms capacity to
survive in the long run and any one of the profitability ratios.
Security Analysis:
The ratio analysis is also useful in security analysis. The major focus in
Security Analysis is on the long-term profitability. The detailed analysis of The earning
power is important for security analysis.
Comparative Analysis:
3
The ratio of a firm by themselves does not reveal anything. For meaningful Interpretation, the
ratios of a firm should be compared with the ratios of similar firms and industry. This
comparison will reveal whether the firm is significantly out of line with its competitors. If it
is significantly out of line, the firm should undertake a detailed analysis to spot out the
trouble areas.
Trend Analysis:
Trend analysis of the ratios adds considerable significance to the financial analysis
because it studies ratios of several years and isolates the exceptional instances occurring In
one or two periods. Although the trend analysis of the companys ratios itself is Informative,
but it is more informative to compare the trends in the companys ratios with the trends in
industry ratios.
Management has to protect the interest of all the conditional parties, creditors, Owners
and others. They have to ensure some minimum operating efficiency and keep the risk of the
firm at a minimum level. Their survival depends upon their operating Performance.
RATIO ANALYSIS
The term Ratio refers to the numerical and quantitative relationship between two items or
variables. This relationship can be exposed as
Percentages
Fractions
Proportion of numbers
Ratio analysis is defined as the systematic use of the ratio to interpret the financial
statements. So that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm, as well as its historical
performance and current financial condition can be determined. Ratio reflects a quantitative
relationship helps to form a quantitative judgment.
STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS
The first task of the financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the
decision under consideration from the statements and calculates appropriate ratios.
To compare the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm relating to the
pas6t or with the industry ratios. It facilitates in assessing success or failure of the
firm.
Third step is to interpretation, drawing of inferences and report writing conclusions
are drawn after comparison in the shape of report or recommended courses of
action
4
NATURE OF 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.
It is only a means of understanding of financial strengths and weaknesses of a firm. There are
a number of ratios which can be calculated from the information given in the financial
statements, but the analyst has to select the appropriate data and calculate only a few
appropriate ratios. The following are the four steps involved in the ratio analysis.
Selection of relevant data from the financial statements depending upon the
objective of the analysis.
Calculation of appropriate ratios from the above data.
Comparison of the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in the past, or
the ratios developed from projected financial statements or the ratios of some other
firms or the comparison with ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
5
They are concerned with firms long-term solvency and survival. They analyze the
firms profitability over time, its ability to generate cash to be able to pay interest and repay
principal and the relationship between various sources of funds.
Investors:
They are most concerned about the firms earnings. They are also interested in every
aspect of the firms financial structure to the extent it influences the firms earnings ability
and risk.
Management:
They would be interested in every aspect of Financial Analysis. It is their overall
Responsibility to see that the resources of the firm are used most effectively and efficiently,
and that the firms financial condition is sound.
6
2. Helps in communication:
The financial strength and weakness of a firm are communicated in a more easy and
understandable manner by the use of ratios. The information contained in the financial
statements is conveyed in a meaningful manner to the one for even if it meant. thus, ratios
help in communication and enhance the value of the financial statements.
3. Helps in co-ordination :
Ratios even in co-ordination which is of at most importance in effective business
management. Better communication of the efficiency and weakness of an enterprise
results in better co-ordination in the enterprise.
4. Helps in control:
Ratio analysis is also helps in making effective control of the business. Slandered ratios
can be based upon Performa of financial statements and variances or deviations, if any,
can be found by comparing the actual with the standard so as to take a corrective action at
the right time.
LIQUIDITY POSITION:
With the help of ratio analysis conditions can be drawn regarding the liquidity position of a firm. The
liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory if it is able to meet its current obligations when they become
due. A firm can be said to have the ability to meet its short-term liabilities if it has sufficient liquid funds to pay
the interest on its short-maturing debt usually within a year as well the principal. The liquidity ratios are
particularly useful in credit analysis by bank and other suppliers of short-term loans.
LONG-TERM SOLVENCY:
7
Ratio analysis is equally useful for assessing the long-term financial liability of a firm. The long-term
solvency is measured by the leverage and capital. Structure and profitability ratios which focus on earning
power and operating efficiency. Ratio analysis reveals and weakness of a firm in this respect.
OPERATING EFFICIENCY:
Yet another dimension of his usefulness of the ratio analysis, relevant from the viewpoint of management,
hates it brows light on the degree of efficiency in the management and utilization of its assets. It would be
recalled that the various activity ratios measure this kind of operational efficiency.
INTER-FIRM COMPARISON:
Ratio analysis not only throws light on the financial position of a firm but also serves as a stepping stone to
remedial measures. This is made possible due to inter firm comparison would demonstrate the relative position
vis--vis its competitors.
TREND ANALYSIS:
Ratio analysis enables a firm to take the time dimension into account in other words, whether the financial
position of a firm is improving or deteriorating over the years. The significance of the trend analysis of ratios
lies in the fact that the analysis cans now direction of improvement i.e. whether the movement is favorable or
unfavorable.

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Brass is a metal composed primarily of copper and zinc. Copper is the main
component, and brass is usually classified as a copper alloy. The color of brass varies from
dark reddish brown to a light silvery yellow depending on the amount of zinc present; the
more zinc, the lighter the color. The zinc content can vary between 10% to about 45 %.
HISTORY OF THE BRASS INDUSTRY
The discovery of metal changed the lives of the people in the ancient world. Metal and
its alloy made agriculture easier, providing farmers with more efficient tools to work their
land. Armies that possessed metal kanives, swords, and shields were no match for those that
did not. The first two metal and its alloy widely used by humans, copper (and its alloy brass)
and gold are still important in peoples lives today.
Romans were the first to use brass, as alloy of copper and zinc, on any significant
scale, although Greeks were already well acquainted with the metal in Aristotles time (330
B.C.) Greeks knew it as Oreichalcos a brilliant white copper, which was made by mixing
tin and copper with a special earth called Calmia or calamine. Calamine was an impure
zinc carbonate, which was rich in silica and found on the shores of the black sea. To make
brass, ground calamine ore and copper were to the metallic state but not high enough to melt
copper. However, zinc vapor permeated the copper and formed the copper and formed brass,
which then melted.
In antiquity the words bronze and brass did not exist. Brass is an English word derived
from braes (Old English) and bras or bras (Middle English) about 1200 AD26 In the language
of Tudor England, brass stood for any copper alloy, and the King James Bible uses the word
in that context. Joseph Smith, favoring the King James Bible, translated the Book of Mormon
using brass in the same manner.
The Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution brought about a tremendous change in the production of
copper and its alloy, beginning with a demand for more and better raw material. Mine
production rose as steam driven pumps were applied to remove water from diggings.
Smaller throughput increased as well, largely due to faster remove of impurities from ore.
Brass has long been the first material of choice in the construction of measuring
instrument for use of sea or in any moist, salt-laden atmosphere. This is due not only to the
corrosion resistance of brass but also to its good machinability.
The Modern Era
The enormous growth in world copper demand between 1850 and 2000, this growth
was initiated by a series of advances in copper using technologies, Whereas total demand at
the end of the 19th century was about 500,000 mT. 1992 forecasts of world copper
consumption were 14,630,000 mT. For the year 2000 and 17, 900,000mT. For 2005.
9
World Reserves
The largest and commercially most important deposits are those in the mountainous
spine of south America and western north America, principally in the United State and Chile
but also include Canada, Mexico and Peru, large and important deposits are located in south
central Africa, principally in Zaire and Zambia. Together, north and South America and
Africa contain more than one half of the known copper deposits in the world.
However, Europe (primarily Russia and the confederation of Independent states of
CIS) and the Pacific Rim (Chiefly Australia and Papua New Guinea) also contain copper
mineralization. South America holds the largest shares of both reserves (31.1% if the world
total) and reserve base (18.5%). North and Central America follow, with 22.7% and 24.9% of
world reserves and reserve base, respectively.
Among individual countries, Chile has the largest fraction of the total reserve base at
19%, the United States ranks 2nd with 18%; the C.I.S and Zambia each have 7%; while
Canada Peru, and Zaire each account for 6%.
Brief History of brass industries in India
The story of Indian Brass as is generally known began during the age of the Indus
Valley civilization i.e. around 2400BC to 1700BC.38 the extraction of this spread to other
sites such as Kalibangan in Rajasthan, Lothal in Gujarat and Laimabad in Maharashtra. The
two most well known sites are of course Mohanjodaro and Harappa. The Harappan figure of
a dancer, with her carfree stance, is one of the first metal sculpture pieces discovered in
India.39 The large Buddha figure at Sultanganj is possibly the largest surviving metal work of
ancient time and is a monument to the skill of Indian craftsmen in melting and casting metal.
The important clusters of the brass in the Southern and Western regions are Pembertha
and Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh; Bidar, Negamangala, Mysore and Gadag in Karnataka
(Bidriwar); Swamimalai, Nachiarkoil, Madurai, umbakonam, Tirupur and Tanjore in Tamil
Nadu; Ambarnath, Thana, Kalyan and Nasik in Maharashtra; Trichur in Kerala; Jamnagar in
Gujarat and Pondicherry, etc.
Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh is world famous for its range of brass items. A wide range
of household items like pots, trays, bowls and decorative pieces are made here and are
decorated with intricate etching. Electroplated brass and copper items and items made of
white metal are also created in Moradabad. Banaras is known for cast sculptures of deities
and household utensils made of brass and copper. Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh is the first city in
India for the multitude of its cast and sculptured mythological images and emblematic in
brass and copper as well as household utensils.
Mirzapore is now one of the most important centers of the brass utensils industry in Uttar
Pradesh. It supplies the needs of a large part of the State and even exports articles of
household use to other Countries.
Raw Materials
The main component of brass is copper. The amount of copper varies between 55% and
95% by weight depending on the type of brass and its intended use. Brasses containing a high
percentage of copper are made from electrically refined copper that is at least 99.3% pure to
minimize the amount of other materials. Brasses containing a lower percentage of copper can
also be made from electrically refined copper, but are more commonly made from less
expensive recycled copper alloy scrap. When recycled scrap is used, the percentages of
copper and other materials in the scrap must be known so that the manufacturer can adjust the
amounts of materials to be added in order to achieve the desired brass composition.
The second component of brass is zinc. The amount of zinc varies between 5% and 40%
by weight depending on the type of brass. Brasses with higher percentages of zinc are
stronger and harder, but they are also more difficult to form and have less corrosion
10
resistance. The zinc used to make brass is a commercial grade sometimes known as spelter.
Some brasses also contain small percentages of other materials to improve certain
characteristics. Up to 3.8% by weight of lead may be added.
Further Alloying Additions
Alloying additions are made to the basic copper-zinc alloys for a variety of reasons:-
To improve mach inability
To improve strength
To improve corrosion resistance
For other special reasons

The basic raw material of the company is the Brass extruded sections. The raw
material is bought from various companies like Jindal, Balco, Hindalco etc after
succeeding in the hardware industry the company lying with the ideas of manufacturing the
basic raw material of the hardware industry Brass extrusions.
Extruded brass outstands in quality and strength than conventional cast and
machine draw hardware. Extruded hardware will have more molecular strength and better
surface finish. Extrusions are made from a uniform combination of alloys giving high tensile
strength with micro sized molecules giving no chance for blowholes. When the alloy is in
uniform combination there will not be impurities and the extrusion becomes harder in
comparison with cast materials. "JYOTIBRASS" hinges are recommended for heavy doors
and shutters.
JYOTIBRASS offers a better protective finish by giving ELECTRO-PHORETIC
coating which is ever coat and the latest technology in surface finish rendering the product
weather resistant, durability of the finish depends on the coating and at "JYOTIBRASS"
gives a polished brass finish with ever coat. This is a "state-of-the-art" process depositing
hardwearing material on the brass surface. This microscopic layer protects the product from
discoloration, even at the harshest of environments such as sunlight, pollution and humidity
etc, Hence "JYOTIBRASS" products are introduced with added strength better surface finish
and weather resistant requiring no maintenance at all.

Financial Analysis has to be carried out. Financial analysis is the analysis and interpretation
of financial statements and a proper financial analysis can give the users better insight about
financial strengths and weakness of the firm. Financial analysis is the starting point for
making plans, before using any sophisticated forecasting and planning procedure.
For the purpose first the required information has to be collected like for ratio
analysis and owing capital management analysis, income statements, trading and profit and
loss accounts, balance sheet, funds flow statement, etc. are to be collected the, the data in the
statements is to be properly organized and arranged and then relationship is established
between financial statements and finally conclusions are drawn from the interpreted
information and presented in the form of reports.
Research Methodology:
Research involves getting tools, ideas from texts, journals, books, records, Websites. The
collection of data is an important aspect of Research.
The sources of information fall under two categories.
Internal Sources: -
Every company keeps certain records such as accounts, records, reports, etc. These records
provide sample information for research.
External Sources: -
When internal records are insufficient and required information is not available the
organization the organization depends on eternal sources. The external sources of data are:
I. Primary Data
II. Secondary Data
(I) Primary Data: -

BRASS METAL WORKS ANANTAPUR from 2008 to 2012
Data Analysis: -
Data analysis is done by implementing various tools like ratio analysis, trend analysis,
etc.
3.4 CLASSIFICATIONS OF RATIOS
The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only. There are different parties
interested in the ratio analysis for knowing the financial position of a firm for different
purposes. Various accounting ratios can be classified as follows:
16
1. Traditional Classification
2. Functional Classification
3. Significance ratios
1. Traditional Classification
It includes the following.
Balance sheet (or) position statement ratio: They deal with the relationship
between two balance sheet items, e.g. the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities etc., both the items must, however, pertain to the same balance sheet.
Profit & loss account (or) revenue statement ratios: These ratios deal with the
relationship between two profit & loss account items, e.g. the ratio of gross profit
to sales etc.,
Composite (or) inter statement ratios: These ratios exhibit the relation between a
profit & loss account or income statement item and a balance sheet items, e.g.
stock turnover ratio, or the ratio of total assets to sales.
2. Functional Classification
These include liquidity ratios, long term solvency and leverage ratios, activity ratios and
profitability ratios.
3. Significance ratios
Some ratios are important than others and the firm may classify them as primary and
secondary ratios. The primary ratio is one, which is of the prime importance to a concern. The
other ratios that support the primary ratio are called secondary ratios.
TYPES OF RATIOS
Several ratios, calculated from the accounting data, can be grouped into
various classes according to financial activity of function to be evaluated. The
management is interested in evaluating every aspect of the firms performance. They have
to protect the interest is in the liquidity position or the short-term solvency of the firm;
Long-term creditors are more interested in the long-term profitability and financial
condition. IN the view of the requirements of the various users of ratios, we may classify
them into the following categories. Ratio analysis enables the analyst to compare items on
a single financial statement or to examine the relationship between items on two financial
statements. After calculating ratios for each years financial data, the analyst can then
examine trends for the company across years. Since ratios adjust for size, using this
analytical tool facilities intercompany as well intercompany comparisons. Ratios are often
classified using the following terms:
Liquidity Ratios
Leverage Ratios
Activity Ratios
17
Profitability
Profitability ratios are gauges of the companys operating success for a given period of
time.
Liquidity ratios are measures of the short term ability of the company to pay its debts
when they come due and to meet unexpected needs for cash. Solvency ratios indicate the
ability of the company to meet its long term obligations on a continuing basis and thus to
survive over a long period of time.

A.LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity Ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. In fact,
analysis of liquidity needs the preparation of cash budgets and cash and fund flow statements;
but liquidity ratios, by establishing a relationship between cash and other current assets to
current obligations, provide a quick measure of liquidity. The failure of a company to meet its
obligations due to lack of sufficient liquidity, will result in a poor creditworthiness, loss of
credit worthiness, loss of creditors confidence, or even in legal tangles resulting in the closure
19
of the company. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad; idle assets earn nothing. The most
common ratio which indicates the extent of liquidity or lack of it is;
1. Current ratio
2. Quick ratio (or) acid-test ratio
3. Absolute liquid ratio (or)cash ratio
1. CURRENT RATIO:
The current ratio is a measure of the firms short-term solvency. It indicates the
availability of current assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A ratio of
greater than one means that the firm has more current assets than current claims against them.
Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Current Assets
Current Ratio = ------------------------------
Current Liabilities
20
Bills receivable Bills payable
Sundry debtors
Prepaid expenses
. The two basic components of this ratio are current assets and current liabilities. Current
assets include Cash and these assets which can be easily converted into cash within a short
period of time generally one year. Current assets are those obligation which are payable
within a short period of generally one year.
An ideal current ratio in 2:1. As a convention the minimum of two to one ratio is
referred to as a bankers rule of thumb or arbitrary standard of liquidity for a firm. A ratio
equal or near to the rule of thumb of 2:1 be current assets double the current liabilities is
considered satisfactory. A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid
and has the ability to pay its current obligation in time as when they become due. On the
other hand relatively low current ratio represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not
good and the a ratio equal or near to the rule of thumb of 2:1 be current assets double the
current liabilities is considered satisfactory. A relatively high current ratio is an indication
that the firm is liquid and has the ability to pay its current obligation in time as and when they
become due. On the other hand a relatively low current ratio represents that the liquidity
position of the firm is not good and the firm shall not be able to pay its current liabilities in
time without facing difficulties.
2. QUICK RATIO:
Quick ratio is also called acid test ratio, establishes a relationship between quick or liquid
assets and current liabilities. An asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or
reasonable soon without a loss of value cash is the most liquid asset. Quick assets are debtors
and bills receivables and marketable securities.
Quick ratio is found out by dividing quick assets by current liabilities.
21
Quick Assets
Current Liabilities
CURRENT LIABILITIES
ABSOLUTE LIQUID ASSETS
22
Sundry creditors
Dividend payable
Income tax payable
Although receivable, debtors and bills receivable are generally more liquid than inventories,
yet there may be doubts regarding their realization into cash immediately or in time. Hence,
some authorities are of the opinion that absolute 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 at the absolute liquid assets.
Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand and at bank and marketable securities
or temporary investments. The acceptable norm for this ratio is 50% or 5:1 or 1:2 i.e. Re.1
worth absolute liquid assets are considered adequate to pay Rs.2 worth Current liabilities in
time as all creditors are not expected to demand cash at the same time and then cash may also
be realized from debtors and inventories.
B. LEVERAGE RATIOS:
The short-term creditors, like bankers and suppliers of raw material, are more concerned
with the firms current debt-paying ability. Long-term creditors like debenture holders,
financial institutions etc. are more concerned with the firms long-term financial strength.
To know the long-term financial position of the firm, financial leverage, or capital
structure ratios are calculated. These ratios indicate mix of funds provided by owners and
lenders. It has number of implications those are
a) Between debt and equity, debt is more risky from the firms point of view.
b) Use of debt is advantageous for shareholders in two ways.
1. They can retain control of the firm with a limited stake.
2. Their earning will be magnified.
3. A highly debt burdened firm will find difficulty in raising funds from
Creditors and owners in future.
Leverage Ratios are calculated to measure the financial risk and firms ability of
using debt to shareholders advantage. Leverage ratio may be calculated from the balance
sheet items to determine the proportions of debt in total financing.
1. Debt ratio
2. Debt equity ratio
3. Capital employed to net worth ratio
4. Interest coverage ratio
5. Fixed charge coverage ratio
1. DEBT RATIO:
Several debt ratios may be used to analyze the long-term solvency of a firm. The firm
may be interested in knowing the proportion of the interest-bearing debt in the capital
structure. Total debt includes short and long-term borrowings from financial institutions,
debentures, deferred payment arrangements for buying capital equipments, bank borrowings,
public deposits and any other interest-bearing loan. Capital employed will include total debt
and net worth (NW).Debt ratio is calculated as dividing total debt (TD) by capital employed
(CE) or net assets (NA).
Total Debt
Debt Ratio = -----------------------------------------
Total Debt +Net Worth
23
2. DEBT-EQUITY RATIO
The relationship between borrowed funds and owners capital is a popular measure of
the long-term financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown b the debt-equity ratios.
This ratio reflects the relative claims of creditors and shareholders against the assets of the
firm. The debt considered here is exclusive of current liabilities.
The debt equity ratio is an important tool of financial analysis to appraise the
financial structure of firm. The ratio reflects the relative contribution of creditors and owners
of business in is financing. A high ratio shows a large share of financing by the creditors
relatively to the owners and therefore a larger claim of creditors. The ratio is 1:2; it implies
that for every rupee of outside liability, the firm has two rupees of owners. There is therefore
a safety margin of 50% available to the creditors of the firm.
Total Debt
Debt Ratio = -----------------------------------------------
Share Holders equity
24
.income covers all fixed financing charges.
EBIT+ Depreciation
Interest Coverage Ratio =
----------------------------------------------------------
Interest + Repayment of loan Tax rate
C. ACTIVITY RATIOS
Activity ratio are employed to evaluate the efficiency with
which the firm manages and utilities its assets. These ratios are also called turnover ratios or
efficiency ratios. The efficiency with which the assets are used would be reflected in the
speed and rapidity with which assets are converted into sales. Such ratios are also designated
as turnover ratios. An activity ratio may, therefore, be defined as a test of the relationship
between sales and the various assets of the firm. We illustrate below the important activity
ratios.
1. Stock turnover ratio
2. Inventory turnover ratio
3. Debtors turnover ratio
4. Average collection period
5. Fixed Assets turnover ratio
6. Creditors turnover ratio
7. Current assets ratio
1. STOCK TURN OVER RATIO:
This ratio indicates the no. of times the stock sold out during the year. The cost of
goods sold is compared with the stock in the trade. This ratio indicates the efficiency in
inventory management. If the turnover is higher, than it means lesser amount of capital is
blocked up in the form of working capital.
25
Cost Of Goods Sold
Inventory Turnover Ratio =
----------------------------------------------
Average Inventory
The inventory turnover shows how rapidly is turning into receivable though sales. A
high inventory turnover is indicative of goods inventory management. A low inventory
turnover implies excessive inventory levels then warranted by production and sales
activities. A high level of sluggish inventory amounts to unnecessary tie-up of funds
reduced profit and increased costs.
3. DEBTORS TURN OVER RATIO:
This ratio indicates the average time lag in number of days between sales and cash
collection form debtors. It explains the number of days of credit enjoyed by the debtors. IT is
also called as receivable turnover. Higher ratio considers management is efficient and vice
