But the company also has the highest capital employed in the Inorganic Chemicals segment. The company would have been considered more efficient if for a lower capital employed in the segment; higher results & revenues are received. In the fertilizers segment the capital employed & revenue is sufficient but results is not yielding profit as desired. In other agree input segment though the result & capital employed are not much but this sector is still yielding considerable revenue. The company can allocate resources from other agri input to fertilizers for better growth in this sector. In other segment result is not holding profit as desired even though the revenue & capital employed are sufficient. 120 100 80 60 Revenue Result 40 Capital Employed 20 0 Inorganic chemicals -20 Fertilisers Other agri inputs Others Specific Project -2 Accounting Ratios Current Ratio Ratio Current Ratio = Current Assets Current Liabilities 31st March 2016 31st March 2017 = 23233.92 6354.27 = 3.65: 1 = 24537.39 6830.07 = 3.59 : 1 Comment: This ratio shows relationship of current assets to current liabilities and is calculated to assess the financial position of the firm. A current ratio of 2: 1 is considered ideal. Quick Ratio Quick Ratio = Quick Assets Current Liabilities = 23233.92 – 8519.82 6354.27 = 2.31 : 1 = 24537.39 – 7863.99 6830.07 = 2.44 : 1 Comment: This ratio indicate short-term solvency and debtpaying capacity of the enterprise. Hence it is a good indicator of liquidity. An ideal quick ratio is 1: 1. Proprietary Ratio Proprietary Ratio = Shareholder’s Fund Total Assets = 41656.43 50031.28 = 0.83 = 45340.96 54215.95 = 0.83 Comment: It shows the relationship between proprietor’s funds and total assets. It indicates the extent to which the shareholders own the business. A higher proprietary ratio is generally treated as indicator of sound financial position from long-term point of view,On the other hand, a low proprietary ratio is a danger signal as it indicates lower margin of safety available for the long-term lenders. It shall be taken as safe if it is above 50%. Gross Profit Ratio Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit x 100 = 51944.57 – (11054.75 Net Sales + 2591.80 + 196.55 + 15361.90) Gross Profit = Revenue from 51944.57 Operation - COGS = 43.78% = 55448.46 – (11765.56 + 3566.57 – 644.17 + 15359.78) 55448.46 = 45.81% Comment: This ratio establishes a relationship between gross profit and revenue from operations, i.e., net sales. This ratio is computed and presented in percentage. Higher the ratio lower cost of goods sold. Net Profit Ratio Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit x 100 Net Sales = 9328.37 x 100 51944.57 = 17.96% = 10200.90 x 100 55448.46 = 18.40% Comment: This ratio shows the relationship between net profit and net revenue from operations. It shows the percentage of Net Profit earned on Revenue from Operations. Higher the net profit ratio, better the business. Stock Turnover Ratio Stock Turnover Ratio = COGS . Average Stock = 11054.75 + 2591.80 + 196.55 + 15361.90 . ( [7863.99+8519.82]/2 = 3.56 times = 11765.56 + 3566.57 – 644.17 + 15359.78 [8519.82+7836.76]/ 2 = 3.67 times Comment: This ratio indicates the relationship between the cost of revenue from operations during the year and average inventory kept during that year. The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that inventory is selling quickly. Working Capital Ratio Working Capital Ratio = Net Sales Working Capital = 51944.57 . 23233.92 – 6354.27 = 3.08 times = 55448.46 . 24537.39 – 6830.07 = 3.13 times Comment: Working Capital Turnover Ratio shows the relationship between working capital and revenue from operation. A high working capital turnover ratio shows efficient use of working capital and quick turnover of current assets like inventory and trade receivables.
