EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Banking Industry which is basically my concern industry around which my project has to be
revolved is really a very complex industry.
I am Abhinav Kumar. I did my summer training with Bank of India (www.bankofindia.com)
from April 12, 2010 to June 04, 2010.
I was assigned the task of analyzing the credit health of organizations that approach Bank of
India for credit facilities. After analyzing credit health, the credit rating is determined. On the
basis of credit rating, the interest rate guidelines circular is consulted to fix a price for the credit
facilities i.e. determine the interest rate. This would entail analysis of past and present financial
statements, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statements, examination of Profitability statements,
projected financial statements and CMA data.
After doing this study learned that the financial health and credit rating are theoretical methods
for determining the right interest rate. However, in practice, banks consider other factors such as
history with client, market reputation and future benefits with clients. Thus, a difference exists
between theory and practice.
I learnt a lot during the project. Firstly it provided me much needed corporate exposure (working
with team, business communication, prioritizing work). Though we are continuously given inputs
on soft skills and business communication during our program; but there is no better place to
hone these skills than the workplace.

CHAPTER 1-INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY
Banking Industry In India
There have been major structural changes in the financial sector since banking sector reforms
were introduced in India in 1992. Since then Banks have been lending aggressively providing
funds towards infrastructure sector. Major policy measures include phased reductions in statutory
pre-emption like cash reserve and statutory liquidity requirements and deregulation of interest
rates on deposits and lending, except for a select segment. The diversification of ownership of
banking institutions is yet another feature which has enabled private shareholding in the public
sector banks, through listing on the stock exchanges, arising from dilution of the Government
ownership. Foreign direct investment in the private sector banks is now allowed up to 74 per
cent.
The co-existence of the public sector, private sector and the foreign banks has generated
competition in the banking sector leading to a significant improvement in efficiency and
customer service.

Background
Bank of India was founded on 7th September, 1906 by a group of eminent businessmen from

of employees, to extent the credit to buyers of goods as well as to meetother day-to-day obligations. However the firm can secure part of thesefunds from its own suppliers of raw material and other needed suppliers.Therefore, from the total requirement of funds for the operational purposes,
the credit the firm can obtain from others is deducted; the difference wouldbe the amount of money the firm has to find against the working capitalrequirements.
Ratio Analysis of various factors will be done. With the help of ratio analysisliquidity and profitability of the firm is analyzed.
BALANCED WORKING CAPITAL POSITION
The firm should maintain a sound working capital position. It should haveadequate working capital to run its business operations. Both excessive aswell as inadequate working capital positions are dangerous from the firmspoint of view.
Excessive working capital means holding costs and idle funds, which earnno profits for the firm. The dangers of excessive working capital are asfollows:
It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventories. Thus, chances of
inventory mishandling, waste, theft and losses increase. It is an indication of defective credit policy and slack collection period.
Consequently, higher incidence of bad debts results, which adverselyaffects profits.
Excessive working capital makes management complacent whichdegenerates into managerial inefficiency.
Tendencies of accumulating inventories tend to make speculativeprofits grow. This may tend to make dividend policy liberal and difficultto cope with in future when the firm is unable to make speculative
profits.Inadequate working capital is also bad as it not only impairs the firmsprofitability but also results in production interrupts and in efficiencies andsales disruptions. Inadequate working has the following dangers:
It stagnates growth. It becomes difficult for the firm to undertakeprofitable projects for non-availability of working capital funds.

It becomes difficult to implement operating plans and achieve the
firms profit target.
Operating inefficiencies creep in when it becomes difficult even tomeet day-to-day commitments.
Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized for the lack of working capitalfunds
Paucity of working capital funds render the firm unable to availattractive credit opportunities etc.
The firm looses its reputation when it is not in a position to honor itsshort-term obligations. As a result, the firm faces tight credit terms.
An enlightened management should, therefore maintain the right amount of
working capital on a continuous basis. A firms net working capital position isnot only important as an index of liquidity but it is also used as a measure ofthe firms risk. Risk in this regard means chances of the firms being unableto meet its obligation on due date. The lenders consider a positive networking capital as a measure of safety. All other things being equal, themore the net working capital a firm has, the less likely that it will default inmeeting it current financial obligations.
DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Nature of business:
The working capital requirement of the firm is closely related to the nature of
its business. A service firm, like an electricity undertaking or a transportcorporation, which has a short operating cycle and which sells predominantlyon cash basis, has a modest working capital requirement. On the other hand,a manufacturing concern like a machine tools unit, which has a longoperating cycle and which sells largely on credit, has a very substantialworking capital requirement.

Seasonality of operations:
Firms, which have marked seasonality in their operations usually, have highlyfluctuating working capital requirements. If the operations are smooth andeven through out the year the working capital requirement will be constantand will not be affected by the seasonal factors.
Production policy:
A firm marked by pronounced seasonal fluctuations in its sales may pursue aproduction policy, which may reduce the sharp variations in working capital
requirements.
Market conditions:
The market competitiveness has an important bearing on the working capitalneeds of a firm. When the competition is keen, a large inventory of finishedgoods is required to promptly serve customers who may not be inclined towait because other manufactures are ready to meet their needs. In view ofcompetitive conditions prevailing in the market the firm may have to offer
liberal credit terms to the customers resulting in higher debtors. Thus, theworking capital requirements tend to be high because of greater investmentin finished goods inventory and account receivables. On the other hand, amonopolistic firm may not require larger working capital. It may askcustomer to pay in advance or to wait for some time after placing the order.
Conditions of Supply:
The time taken by a supplier of raw materials, goods, etc. after placing anorder, also determines the working capital requirement. If goods as soon asor in a short period after placing an order, then the purchaser will not like tomaintain a high level of inventory f that good. Otherwise, larger inventoriesshould be kept e.g. in case of imported goods.

8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
14/60
Business Cycle Fluctuations:
Different phases of business cycle i.e., boom, recession, recovery etc. alsoeffect the working capital requirement. In case of recession period there isusually dullness in business activities and there will be an opposite effect onthe level of wor5king capital requirement. There will be a fall in inventoriesand cash requirement etc.
Credit policy:
The credit policy means the totality of terms and conditions on which goods
are sold and purchased. A firm has to interact with two types of creditpolicies at a time. One, the credit policy of the supplier of raw materials,goods, etc., and two, the credit policy relating to credit which it extends to itscustomers. In both the cases, however, the firm while deciding the creditpolicy has to take care of the credit policy o the market. For example, a firmmight be purchasing goods and services on credit terms but selling goodsonly for cash. The working capital requirement of this firm will be lower thanthat of a firm, which is purchasing cash but has to sell on credit basis.
Operating Cycle:
Time taken from the stage when cash is put into the business up to the stagewhen cash is realized.
Thus, the working capital requirement of a firm is determined by a host offactors. Every consideration is to be weighted relatively to determine theworking capital requirement.
Further, the determination of working capital requirement is not once awhole exercise; rather a continuous review must be made in order to assessthe working capital requirement in the changing situation. There are various
reasons, which may require the review of the working capital requiremente.g., change in credit policy, change in sales volume, etc.
ISSUES IN WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
14
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
15/60
Working capital management refers to the administration of all componentsof working capital cash, marketable securities, debtors (receivables), andstock (inventories) and creditors (payables). The financial manager mustdetermine levels and composition of current assets. He must see that right
sources are tapped to finance current assets, and that current liabilities arepaid in time.
There are many aspects of working capital management which make it animportant function of the financial manager.
Time. Working capital management requires much of the financialmanagers time.
Investment. Working capital represents a large portion of the totalinvestment in assets. Actions should be taken to curtail unnecessary
investment in current assets. Criticality. Working capital management has great significance for all
firms but it is very critical for small firms. Small firms in India face asevere problem of collecting their dues debtors. Further, the role ofcurrent liabilities is more significant in case of small firms, as, unlikelarge firms, they face difficulties in raising long-term finances.
Growth. The need for working capital is directly related to the firmsgrowth. As sales grow, the firm needs to invest more in inventories anddebtors. Continuous growth in sales may also require additionalinvestment in fixed assets.
Liquidity vs. Profitability: Risk-Return Trade-off
A large investment in current assets under certainty would mean a low rateof return on investment for the firm, as excess investment in current assetswill not earn enough return. A smaller investment in current assets, on theother hand, would mea interrupted production and sales, because offrequent stock-outs and inability to pay creditors in time due to restrictivepolicy.
Given a firms technology and production policy, sales and demandconditions, operating efficiency etc., its current assets holdings will dependupon its working capital policy. These policies involve risk-return trade-offs. Aconservative policy means lower return and risk, while an aggressive policyproduces higher return and risk.
15
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
16/60
The two important aims of the working capital management are: profitabilityand solvency. Solvency, used in the technical sense, refers to the firmscontinuous ability to meet maturing obligations. If the fir maintains arelatively large investment in current assets, it will have no difficulty in
paying claims of creditors when they become due and will be able to fill allsales orders and ensure smooth production. Thus, a liquid firm has less riskof insolvency; that is, it will hardly experience a cash shortage or a stock-outsituation. However, there is a cost associated with maintaining a soundliquidity position. A considerable amount of the firms will be tied up incurrent assets, and to the extent this investment is idle, the firmsprofitability will suffer.
To have higher profitability, the firm may sacrifice solvency and maintain arelatively low level of current assets. When the firm does so, its profitability
will improve as fewer funds are tied up in idle current assets, but its solvencywould be threatened and would be exposed to greater risk of cash shortageand stock-out.
2.2.1 ESTIMATING WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS
Current Assets Holding Period. To estimate working capitalrequirement on the basis of average holding period of current assets
and relating them to costs based on the companys experience in theprevious years. This method is essentially based on the operating cycleconcept.
Ratio of Sales. To estimate working capital requirements as a ratio ofsales on the assumption that current change with sales
Ratio of Fixed Investment. To estimate working capitalrequirements as a percentage of fixed investment.
POLICIES FOR FINANCING FIXED ASSETS
A firm can adopt different financing policies vis--vis current assets. Threetypes of financing may be distinguished:
16
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
17/60
Long-term Financing. The sources of long-term financing includeordinary share capital, preference share capital, debentures, long-termborrowings from financial institutions and reserves and surplus(retained earnings).
Short-Term Financing. The short-term financing is obtained for aperiod less than one year. It is arranged in advance from banks andother surplus of short-term finance in the money market. It includesworking capital funds from banks, public deposits, commercial paper,factoring of receivables etc
Spontaneous Financing. It refers to the automatic sources of short-term funds arising in the normal course of a business. Trade(suppliers) credit and outstanding expenses are examples ofspontaneous financing.
The real choice of financing current assets, once the spontaneous sources offinancing have been fully utilized, is between the long-term and short-termsources of finance.
Depending on the mix of short-term and long-term financing, the approachfollowed by a company may be refereed to as:
Matching approach
Conservative approach
Aggressive approach
Matching Approach
The firm following matching approach (also known as hedging approach)adopts a financial plan which matches the expected life of the sources offunds raised to finance assets. For e.g., a ten-year loan may be raised tofinance a plant with an expected life of ten years. The justification for theexact matching is that, since the purpose of financing is to pay for theassets, the source of financing for short-term assets is expensive, as fundswill not be utilized for the full period. Similarly, financing the long-term assets
17
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
18/60
with short-term financing is costly as well as inconvenient as arrangement forthe new short-term financing will have to be made on a continuing basis.
Conservative approach
Under a conservative plan, the firm finances its permanent assets and also apart of temporary currents assets with long-term financing. In the periodswhen the firm has no need for temporary current assets, the idle long-termfunds can be invested in the tradable securities to conserve liquidity. Theconservative plan relies heavily on long-term financing and, therefore, thefirm has less risk of facing the problem of shortage of funds.
Aggressive approach
An aggressive approach policy is said to be followed by the firm when it usesmore short-term financing than warranted by the matching plan. The firmfinances a part of its permanent current assets with short term financing. Therelatively more use of short-term financing makes the firm more risky.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION: Inventories constitute the most significant part of
current assets of a; large number majority of companies in India. On anaverage, inventories are approximately 60 % of current assets in publiclimited companies in India. Because of the large size of the inventoriesmaintained by the firm, a considerable amount of funds is required tobe committed to them. It is, therefore, absolutely imperative tomanage inventories efficiently and effectively in order to avoidunnecessary investment.
Inventories are stock of the product a company is manufacturing for sale andcomponents that make up the product. The various forms in whichinventories exist in a manufacturing company are:
Raw materials are those basis inputs that re converted into finishedproduct through the manufacturing process. Raw materials inventoriesare those units, which have been purchased and stored for futureproductions.
18
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
19/60
Work-in-progress inventories are semi-manufactured products. They
represent those products that need more work before they becomefinished products for sale.
Finished goods inventories are those completely manufactured
products, which are ready for sale. Stocks of the raw materials andwork-in-process facilitate production, while stock of finished goods isrequired for smooth marketing operations. Thus the inventories serveas a link between the production and the consumption of goods.
The levels of the three kinds of inventories for the firm depend on the natureof the business. A manufacturing firm will have substantially high level offinished goods inventories and no raw material and work-in progressinventories within manufacturing firm, there will be differences.
THE OPERATING CYCLE AND WORKING CAPITAL
The working capital requirement of a firm depends, to a great extent up onoperating cycle of the firm. The operating cycle may be defined as the timeduration starting from the procurement of goods or raw material and endingwith the sales realization the length and nature of the operating cycle maydiffer from one firm to another depending on the size and nature of the firm.
The investment in working capital is influenced by four key events in theproduction and sales cycle form:
Purchase of raw materials
payment of raw materials
sale of finished goods
collection of cash for sales
Operating cycle period: the firm begins with the purchase of raw material,which are paid for after a delay, which represents the accounts payableperiod. The firm converts raw material into finished goods and then sell thesame. The time that, elapses between the purchase of raw material and thecollection of cash for the sales is referred to as the operating cycle. Thelength or time duration of the operating cycle of any firm can be defined as
19
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
20/60
the sum of its inventory conversion period and the receivables conversionperiod.
A) Inventory Conversion period (ICP): The time lag between the
purchase of raw material and the sale of finished goods is theinventory conversion period. In the manufacturing firm ICPconsists of raw materials conversion period (RPCP), work-in-progress conversion period (WPCP), and the finished goodsconversion period (FGCP).
RMCP refers to the period for which the raw material is generallykept in stores before it is used by the production department. TheWPCP refers to the period for which the raw material remains in theproduction process before it is taken out s a finished product. TheFGCP refers to the period for which finished goods remain in stores
before being sold to a customer.
B) Receivables conversion period (RCP): It is the time required to convertthe credit sales into cash realization. It refers to the period between the occurrenceof credit sales and collection from debtors.
The total of ICP and RCP is also known as Total Operating Cycle period (TOCP). Thefirm might be getting some credit facilities from the supplier o a material, wageearners, etc. this period for which the payment of these parties are deferred ordelayed is known as Deferral Period (DP). The Net Operating Cycle (NOC) of the firmis arrived at by deducting the DP fro the TOCP. NOC is also known as cash cycle.
RMCP = (AVG. raw material stock/ Total raw materials stock)*365
WPCP = (avg. work-in process/ Total work-in-process)*365
FGCP = (Avg. finished goods/ Total cost of goods sold)*365
RCP = (Avg. receivables / Total credit purchase)*365
DP = (Avg. creditors / Total credit purchase)*365
In respect of these formulations, the following points are note worthy:
20
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
21/60
a) The Average value in the numerator is the average of opening balance and
closing balance of the respective item. However, if only the closing balance isavailable, then even the closing balance may be taken as the Average.
b) The figure 365 represents number of days in a year. It may also be taken as360 for the ease of calculation.
c) The total figure in the denominator refers to the total value of the item in aparticular year.
d) In the calculation of RMCP, WPCP, ad FGCP. The denominator is calculated atcost-basis and the profit margin has been excluded. The reason big that thereis no investment of funds in profit as such.
2.2.2 WORKING CAPITAL LIMITS
FUND BASED CREDIT LIMITS
1. CASH CREDIT/PACKING CREDIT:The cash credit facility is similar to the overdraft arrangement. It is the most poplarmethod of bank finance for working capital in India. Under the cash credit facility, aborrower is allowed to withdraw funs from the bank up to the cash credit limit. He isnot required to borrow the entire sanctioned credit once, rather, he can drawperiodically to the extent of his requirement and repay by depositing surplus fundsin his cash credit account. Cash credit is sanctioned against the security of current
assets. Cash credit is the most flexible arrangement from the borrowers point ofview.
2. DISCOUNTING OF BILLSUnder the purchase or discounting of bills, a borrower can obtain credit from a bankagainst its bills. The bank purchase or discounts the borrowers bills. He amountprovided under this agreement is covered within the overall cash credit or overdraftlimit
Before purchasing or discounting the bills, the bank satisfies itself as creditworthiness of the drawer. Though, the item bills purchased implies that the bankbecomes owner of the bill. In practice, bank hold bills as security for the credit.When a bill is discounted, the borrower is paid he discounted amount of the bills,(visa, full amount of bill minus the discount charged by the bank). The bank collectsfull amount on maturity. The major part of bank borrowings comes throughDiscounting Bills. On this firm has to pay interest of 12%.
NON-FUND BASED
21

8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
22/60
1. LETTER OF CREDITCommonly used in international trade, the letter o credit is now used in domestictrade as well. A letter of credit, or L/C, is used by a bank on behalf of itscustomers (buyer) to the seller. As per this document, the bank agrees to honor
drafts on it for the supplies made to the customer if the seller fulfills theconditions laid down in the L/C.
The L/C serves several useful functions:
(i) It virtually eliminates credit risk, if the bank has a good standing.(ii) It reduces uncertainty, as the seller knows the conditions that should be
fulfilled receive payment..
2. BANK GUARANTEE
Bank Guarantee is very similar to Letter of Credit but it is provided for muchlonger period compared to letter of credit. Very small portion of working capitalis funded by Bank Guarantee.
The firm is having low credit holding period it can try to increase is sothat, those funds can remain with it for a longer period n can be utilizedfor fulfilling the working capital requirements. For this purpose firm can belittle strict credit standards it can also adopt discount policy.

Credit Report and Credit Rating
The credit report is an important determinant of an individual's financial credibility. They are
used by lenders to judge a person's creditworthiness. They also help the person concerned to
narrow down on the financial problem areas.
Credit report is a document, which comprises detailed information about the credit payment
history of an applicant. It is mostly used by the lenders to determine the credit worthiness of an
applicant.The business credit reports provide information on the background of a company. This
assists one to take crucial business related decisions. People can also assess the amount of
business risk associated with a company and then decide whether they would be comfortable in
providing them with credit facilities. The degree of interest that would be shown by investors in
their company can also be gauged from the business credit reports as they can get an idea of the
conception of their customers regarding themselves. Since these records are updated at regular
intervals of time they enable people to identify the risk levels associated with a business as well
as its future. These reports also allow businesses to get detailed information about the financial
status of business partners and suppliers.

Liquid ratio or Quick ratio or Acid test ratio
Liquid ratio is a relationship of liquid assets with current liabilities. It is fairlystringent measure of liquidity.
Liquid assets are those assets which are either in the form of cash or cashequivalents or can be converted into cash within a short period. Liquid assetsare computed by deducting stock and prepaid expenses from the currentassets. Stock is excluded from liquid assets because it may take some timebefore it is converted into cash. Similarly, prepaid expenses do not providecash at all and are thus, excluded from liquid assets.
Computation. The ratio is calculated is as under:
Liquid ratio= Liquid assets
Current liabilities
Objective.
The ratio of current assets less inventories to total current liabilities.This ratio is the most stringent measure of how well the company iscovering its short-termobligations, since the ratio only considers thatpart of current assets which can be turned into cash immediately (thusthe exclusion of inventories).
The ratio tells creditors how much of the company's short term debtcan be met by selling all the company's liquid assets at very shortnotice. also called acid-test ratio.
The current ratio does not indicate adequately the ability of the
enterprise to discharge the current liabilities as and when they fall due.Liquid ratio is considered as a refinement of current ratio as non-liquidportion of current assets is eliminated to calculate the liquid assets.Thus it is a better indicator of liquidity.

A quick ratio of 1:1 is considered standard and ideal, since for every rupee of
current liabilities, there is a rupee of quick assets. A decline in the liquid ratioindicates over-trading, which, if serious, may land the company in difficulties.
SOLVENCY/LEVERAGE RATIOS (LONG-TERM SOLVENCY)
The term solvency implies ability of an enterprise to meet its long termindebt ness and thus, solvency ratios convey the long term financialprospects of the company. The shareholders, debenture holders and otherlenders of the long-term finance/term loans may be basically interested inthe ratios falling under this group.
Following are the different solvency ratios:
Debt-equity Ratio
The debt-equity ratio is worked out to ascertain soundness of the long termfinancial policies of the firm. This ratio expresses a relationship between debt(external equities) and the equity (internal equities).
Debt means long-term loans, i.e., debentures, public deposits, loans (longterm) from financial institutions. Equity means shareholders funds, i.e.,preference share capital, equity share capital, reserves less losses and
fictitious assets like preliminary expenses.
Computation. Te ratio is calculated as under:
Debt-Equity Ratio = Debt (Long-term Loans)
Equity (shareholders funds)
Objective.
The objective of this ratio is to arrive at an idea of the amount ofcapital supplied to the concern by the proprietors and of assetcushion or cover available to its creditors on liquidation of theorganization equity.
It also indicates the extent to which the firm depends upon outsidersfor its existence. In other words, it portrays the proportion of totalfunds acquired by a firm by way of loans.
A high debt-equity ratio may indicate that the financial stake of thecreditors is more than that of the owners. A very high debt-equity ratio
38
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
39/60
may make the proposition of investment in the organization a riskyone.
While a low ratio indicates safer financial position, a very low ratio maymean that the borrowing capacity of the organization is being
underutilized. The debt/equity ratio also depends on the industry in which the
company operates. For example, capital-intensive industries such asauto manufacturing tend to have a debt/equity ratio above 2, whilepersonal computer companies have a debt/equity of under 0.5.
The readers of financial management may remember that to borrowthe funds from outsiders is one of the best possible ways to increasethe earnings available to the equity shareholders, basically due to tworeasons:
a) The expectations of the creditors in the form of return on their investment
are comparatively less as compared to the returns expected by the equityshareholders.
b) The return on investment paid to the creditors is a tax-deductibleexpenditure.
Total Assets to Debts Ratio
The total asset to debt ratio establishes a relationship between total assetsand the total long-term debts.
Total assets include fixed as well as current assets. However, fictitiousassets like preliminary expenses, underwriting commission, share issue
expenses, discount on issue of shares/debentures, etc., and debit balance ofprofit and loss account are not included. Long-term debts refer to debtsthat will mature after one year. It includes debentures, bonds, and loans fromfinancial institutions.
Computation. This ratio is computed as under:39
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
40/60
Total Assets to Debt Ratio = Total Assets
Long-term debts
Objective.
This ratio is computed to measure the safety margin available to theproviders of long-term debts. It measures the extent of coverageprovided to long term debts by the assets o the firm.
A higher ratio represents higher security to lenders for extending the long-term loans to the business. On the other hand, a low ratio represents a riskyfinancial position as it means that the business depends on outside loans forits existence.
Total Debt Ratio Total debt ratio is a relationship of Total Debt of a firm to its CapitalEmployed.
Computation. This ratio is calculated as under.
Total Debt Ratio = Debt
Capital Employed
Objective.
A ratio that indicates what proportion of debt a company has relative toits assets. The measure gives an idea to the leverage of the companyalong with the potential risks the company faces in terms of its debt-load.
A debt ratio of greater than 1 indicates that a company has more debtthan assets, meanwhile, a debt ratio of less than 1 indicates that acompany has more assets than debt. Used in conjunction with othermeasures of financial health, the debt ratio can help investors
determine a company's level of risk.
Fixed Assets to Capital Employed Ratio
Fixed assets to Capital employed ratio gives the amount of fixed assets as apercentage of the capital employed of the company.
40
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
41/60
Computation. This ratio is calculated as follows:
Fixed Assets to Capital Employed = Net Fixed assets x 100
Capital Employed
Objective.
This ratio indicates the extent to which the long term funds are sunkinto fixed assets.
It has been an accepted principle of financial management that notonly fixed assets should be financed by way of long-term loans but alsoa part of current assets or working capital should be financed by way oflong-term funds, and this part may be in the form of permanentworking capital.
A very high trend of this ratio may indicate that a major portion of longterm funds is utilized for the purpose of fixed assets leaving a smallproportion for the investment in the current assets or working capital.
A very low trend of this ratio coupled with a constant declining trend ofcurrent ratio may indicate an urgent for the introduction of long-termfunds for financing the working capital in the business.
Inventory to Net Working Capital Ratio
Inventory to Net working Capital Ratio tells how much of a companys fundsare tied up in inventory.
Computation. The formula is as under:
Inventory to Net Working Capital = Inventory
Net Working Capital
Objective.
Keeping track of inventory levels is crucial to determine the financialhealth of a business.
41
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
42/60
It is preferable to run a business as little inventory as possible on hand,
while not affecting potential sales opportunities. If this ratio is high compared to the average for the industry, it could
mean that the business is carrying too much inventory.
Proprietary Ratio
The proprietary ratio establishes a relationship between proprietors fund andtotal assets.
Proprietors fund means share capital plus reserves and surplus both ofcapital and revenue nature. Loss, if any, should be deducted. Funds payableto others should not be added.
Computation. This ratio is worked out as follows:
Proprietors Ratio = Proprietors Fund or Shareholders Fund
Total Assets
Objective.
This ratio throws a light on the general financial position of the
concern. It shows the extent to which shareholders own the business.This ratio is of particular importance to the creditors as it helps them
to ascertain the proportion of shareholders funds in the total assets
employed in the firm.
The higher this Proprietary ratio denotes that the shareholders have
provided the funds to purchase the assets of the concern instead of
relying on other sources of funds like bank borrowings, trade creditors
and others.
However, too high a proprietary ratio say 100% means that
management has not effectively utilize cheaper sources of financelike trade and long term creditors. As these sources of funds are
cheaper, the inability to make use of it might lead to lower earnings
and hence a lower rate of dividend payout.

8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
43/60
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Profit as compared to the capital employed indicated profitability of theconcern. A measure of profitability is the overall measure of efficiency. The
different profitability ratios are as follows:
Net Profit ratio
The Net profit ratio establishes the relationship between net profit and netsales, expressed in percentage form.
Net Profit is derived by deducting administratitive and marketing expenses,finance charges and making adjustments for non-operating expenses andincomes.
Computation. This ratio is calculated as follows:
Net Profit ratio = Net Profit after taxes x 100
Net Sales
Objective.
The net profit ratio determines the overall efficiency of the business.Itindicates that proportion of sales available to the owners after theconsideration of all types of expenses and costs either operating ornon-operating or normal or abnormal.
A high net profit indicates profitability of the business. Hence, higherthe ratio, the better the business is.
COVERAGE RATIOS
Interest Coverage Ratio
The interest coverage Ratio establishes the relationship between PBIT (Profitsbefore interest and taxes) and Debt interest.
Computation. It is calculated as:
Interest Coverage Ratio = Profit before Interest and Taxes
43
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
44/60
Debt Interest
The numerator considers the profit before income tax and interest on bothterm and working capital borrowings.
The denominator considers the interest charges, which are in the form ofinterest on long-term borrowings and not the interest on working capitalfacilities.
Objective.
Interest coverage is a financial ratio that provides a quick picture of acompanys ability to pay the interest charges on its debt.
The 'coverage' aspect of the ratio indicates how many times theinterest could be paid from available earnings, thereby providing asense of the safety margin a company has for paying its interest forany period.
A company that sustains earnings well above its interest requirementsis in an excellent position to weather possible financial storms.
As a general rule of thumb, investors should not own a stock that hasan interest coverage ratio under 1.5. An interest coverage ratio below
1.0 indicates the business is having difficulties generating the cashnecessary to pay its interest obligations.
The ratio suffers from the following limitations:
a) The fixed obligations in the form of preference dividend or installmentsof long-term borrowings are not considered.
b) The funds available for meeting the obligations of interest paymentsmay not be necessarily in the form of p[profits before interest andtaxes only, as the amount of [profits so calculated may consider the
amount of depreciation debited to Profit and Loss Account which doesnot involve any outflow of funds.

Turnover indicates the speed with which capital employed is rotated in theprocess of doing business. Activity ratios measure the effectiveness withwhich a concern uses resources at its disposal. The following are theimportant activity (turnover or performance) ratios:
Capital Turnover Ratio
Capital Turnover ratio establishes between the Net Sales and the CapitalEmployed of a firm. Capital turnover ratio indicates that the firms capitalemployed is being efficiently used. This ratio indicates that the organizationis able to achieve maximum sales with minimum amount of capitalemployed.
Computation. This ratio is computed with the help of the following formula:
Capital turnover ratio = Net sales
Capital Employed
Objective.
This ratio indicates the effectives of the organization with which thecapital employed is being utilized.
A high capital turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organization
to achieve maximum sales with minimum amount of capital employed.It indicates that the capital turnover ratio better will be the situation.
Working Capital Turnover Ratio
The working capital turnover ratio indicates the number of times a unitinvested in working capital produces sale. In other words, this ratio shows theefficiency in the use of short-term funds for achieving sales.
Working capital is computed by deducting current liabilities from currentassets. A careful handling of the short-term assets and funds will mean areduction in the amount of capital employed thereby improving turnover.
Computation. The ratio is calculated as follows:
Working capital turnover ratio = Net sales

Working capital
Objective.
A company uses working capital (current assets - current liabilities) tofund operations and purchase inventory. These operations andinventory are then converted into sales revenue for the company.
The working capital turnover ratio is used to analyze the relationshipbetween the money used to fund operations and the sales generatedfrom these operations.
In a general sense, the higher the working capital turnover, thebetter because it means that the company is generating a lot of salescompared to the money it uses to fund the sales.
A high, or increasing Working Capital Turnover is usually a positivesign, showing the company is better able to generate sales from itsWorking Capital. Either the company has been able to gain more NetSales with the same or smaller amount of Working Capital, or it hasbeen able to reduce its Working Capital while being able to maintain itssales.
As such, higher this ratio, the better will be the situation. However, avery high ratio may indicate overtrading the working capital being

b) Finished goods Inventory Turnover
Computation. This ratio is calculated as follows:
FGIT= Net sales
Average Finished Goods Inventory
Objective.
A high inventory turnover ratio indicates that maximum sales turnover is
achieved with the minimum investment in inventory. As such, as ageneral rule, high inventory turnover ratio is desirable.
However, the high inventory turnover ratio should be viewed from somemore angles. Firstly, it may indicate that there is under investment ininventory whereby the organization may loose customer patronage f it isunable to maintain the delivery schedule. Secondly, high inventoryturnover ratio may not necessarily indicate profitable situation.
An organization, in order to achieve a large sales volume, maysometimes sacrifice on profits, whereby a high inventory turnover ratiomay not result into high amount of profits.
On the other hand, a low inventory turnover ratio may indicate overinvestment in inventory, existence of excessive or obsolete/non-movinginventory, improper inventory management, accumulation of inventoriesat the year end in anticipation of increased prices or sales volume in nearfuture and so on.
There can be no standard inventory turnover ratio which may beconsidered ideal. It may depend on nature of industry and marketingstrategies followed by the organization.
Assets Turnover Ratios
Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets ingenerating sales or revenue - the higher the number the better.

It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low profit margins
tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit marginshave low asset turnover.
A high Assets turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organization
to achieve maximum sales with the minimum investment in assets. Itindicates that the assets are turned over in the form of sales morenumber of times. S such, higher the ratio, better will be the situation.
a) Total Assets Turnover
Computation. This ratio is computed using the following formula:
Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales
Total Assets
b) Fixed Assets Turnover
Computation. This ratio is calculated as follows:
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets include net fixed assets, i.e., fixed assets after providing fordepreciation.
c) Current Assets Turnover
Computation. This ratio is calculated s follows:
Current Assets turnover Ratio = Net Sales
Current Assets
Objective.
A high Assets turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organizationto achieve maximum sales with the minimum investment in assets.

It indicates that the assets are turned over in the form of sales more
number of times. S such, higher the ratio, better will be the situation.
Debtors Turnover Ratio
Computation. The ratio will be computed as:
Debtors Turnover ratio = Net credit sales
Average sundry debtors
Objective.
This ratio indicates the speed at which the sundry debtors areconverted in the form of cash. However this intention is not correctlyachieved by making the calculations in this way.
As such this ratio is normally supported by the calculations of AverageCollection Period which is calculated as under:
a) Calculation of Daily Sales
daily sales= Net credit Sales
No of Working Day
Inference
It is highest in case of ITC followed by HUL and DS Group respectively.
b) Calculation of Average Collection Period:
ACP= Average Sundry Debtors
Daily Sales
The average collection period as computed above should be compared withthe normal credit period extended to the customers. If the average collectionperiod is more than normal credit period allowed to the customers, it may

indicate over investment in debtors which may be the result of over-extension of credit period, liberalization of credit terms and ineffectivecollection procedures.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The ratios computed in this group indicate the relationship between theprofits of a firm and investment in the firm. There can be three ways in whichthe term investment may be interpreted, i.e., Assets, Capital Employed andShareholders Funds. As such, there can be three broad classifications of ROI:
Return on Assets (ROA)
Computation. This ratio is calculated as:
ROA = EBIT
Average Total Assets
Objective.
An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total
assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at usingits assets to generate earnings.
The assets of the company are comprised of both debt and equity.Both of these types of financing are used to fund the operations of thecompany. The ROA figure gives investors an idea of how effectively thecompany is converting the money it has to invest into net income.
The higher the ROA number, the better, because the company isearning more money on less investment.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
Computation. The ratio is calculated as:
ROCE= Profit Before Interest & Taxes x 100

Average Capital employed
Objective.
It is used in finance as a measure of the returns that a company isrealising from its capital employed. It is commonly used as a measure for comparing the performance
between businesses and for assessing whether a business generatesenough returns to pay for its cost of capital.
ROCE measures the profitability of the capital employed in thebusiness. A high ROCE indicates a better and profitable use of long-term funds of owners and creditors. As such, a high ROCE will alwaysbe preferred.
Return on Shareholders Funds
It is calculated as:
RSF= Profit After Tax x 100
Shareholders funds
This is the most popular ratio to measure whether the firm has earnedsufficient returns for its shareholders or not. As such, this ratio is themost crucial one from the owners/shareholders point of view. Higherthe ratio better will be the situation.
INVESTOR RATIOS
Earnings per Share (EPS)
Computation. The ratio is calculated as:
EPS= Net Profit after Taxes preference Dividend
Number of Equity shares Outstanding
Objective.
It is widely used ratio to measure the profits available to the equityshareholders on a per share basis. EPS is calculated on the basis ofcurrent profits and not on the basis of retained profits.

As such, increasing EPS may indicate the increasing trend of current
[profits per equity share. However, EPS does not indicate how much ofthe earnings are paid to the owners by way of dividend and how muchof the earnings are retained in the business.
CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
There are two concepts of working capital Gross and Net
Gross Working Capital refers to the firms investment in currentassets. Current assets are the assets which can be converted intocash within an accounting year and include cash, short termsecurities, debtors, bills receivable (accounts receivables or bookdebts) and stock.
Net Working Capital refers to the difference between currentassets and current liabilities. Current liabilities are those claims ofoutsiders, which are expected to mature for payment within anaccounting year, and include creditors (accounts payable), bills
payable and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can bepositive or negative. A positive net working capital will arise whencurrent asset exceed current liabilities. A negative net workingcapital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of currentassets.
Focusing on management of current assets
The gross working capital concept focuses attention on two aspects ofcurrent assets management:
a) How to optimize investment in current assets?
b) How should current assets be financed?
The considerations of the level of investment in current assets should avoidtwo danger points- excessive or inadequate investment in current assets.

Investment in current assets should be just adequate to the needs of thebusiness firm. Excessive investment in current assets should be avoidedbecause it impairs the firms profitability, as idle investment earns nothing.On the other hand, inadequate amount of working capital can threaten
solvency of the firm because of its inability to meet its current obligations. Itshould e realized that the working capital needs of the firm may befluctuating with changing business activity. The management should beprompt to initiate an action and correct imbalances.
Another aspect of the gross working capital points to the need of arrangingfunds to finance current assets. Whenever a need for working capital fundsarises due to the increasing level of business activity or for nay other reason,financing arrangement should be made quickly. Similarly, if suddenly, somesurplus funds arise they should not be allowed to remain idle, but should be
invested in short term securities. Thus, the financial manager should haveknowledge of the sources of working capital funds as well as investmentavenues where idle funds may temporarily are invested.
Focusing on Liquidity management
Net working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates the liquidity positionof the firm and suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be
financed by permanent sources of funds. Current assets should besufficiently in excess of current liabilities to constitute margin or buffer formaturing obligations within the ordinary operating cycle of business. In orderto protect their interests, short- term creditors always like a company tomaintain current assets at a higher level than current liabilities. However, thequality of current assets should be considered in determining level of currentassets vis--vis current liabilities. A weak liquidity position possesses a threatto the solvency of the company and makes it unsafe and unsound. Anegative working capital means a negative liquidity, and may prove to beharmful for the companys reputation. Excessive liquidity is also bad. It may
be due to mismanagement of current assets. Therefore, prompt and timelyaction should be taken by management to improve and correct theimbalances in the liquidity position of the firm.

For every firm, there is a minimum amount of net working capital, which ispermanent. Therefore, a portion of working capital should be financed withpermanent sources of funds such as equity share capital, debentures, long-term debt, preference share capital or retained earnings. Management must,
therefore, decide the extent to which the current assets should be financedwith equity capital or borrowed capital.
It may be emphasized that both gross and net concepts of working capitalare equally important for the efficient management of working capital. Thereis no precise way to determine the exact amount of gross or net workingcapital of a firm. A judicious mix of long and short term finances should beinvested in current assets. Since current assets involve cost of funds, they
should be put to productive use.
OPERATING AND CASH CONVERSION CYCLE
A firm should aim at maximizing the wealth of its shareholders, so the firmshould earn sufficient returns from its operations. Earning a steady amountof profit requires successful sales activity. The firm has to invest enough
funds in current assets for generating sales. Current assets are neededbecause sales do not convert into cash instantaneously. There is always anOperating cycle involved in the conversion of sales into cash.
There is difference between current and fixed assets in terms of theirliquidity. A firm requires many years to recover the initial investment in fixedassets such as plant and machinery or land and building. On the contrary,investment in current assets is turned over many times in a year. Investmentin current assets such as inventories and debtors (accounts receivable) isrealized during the firms operating cycle that is usually less than a year.
OPERATING CYCLE is the time duration required to convert sales,after the conversion of resources into inventories, into cash.
The operating cycle of manufacturing company involves three phases:
Acquisition of resources such as raw material, labor power and fueletc.
54
-
8/9/2019 Abhinav Project Report
55/60
Manufacture of the product which includes conversion of raw
materials into work-in-progress into finished goods.
Sale of the product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales createaccount receivable for collection.
These phases affect cash flows, which most of the time, are neithersynchronized nor certain. They are not synchronized because cash flowsusually occur before cash inflows.
Cash inflows are uncertain because sales and collections which give rise tocash inflows are difficult to forecast accurately, on the other hand, are
relatively certain. The firm is, therefore, required to invest in current assetsfor a smooth, uninterrupted functioning. It needs to maintain liquidity topurchase raw materials and pay expenses such as wages and salaries, othermanufacturing, administrative and selling expenses and taxes as there ishardly a matching between cash inflows and outflows. Cash is also held tomeet any future exigencies. Stocks of raw materials and work-in-progress arekept to ensure smooth production and to guard against non-availability ofraw material and other components. The firm holds stock of finished goods tomeet the demand of customers on continuous basis and sudden demandfrom some customers. Debtors are created because goods are sold on credit
for marketing and competitive reasons. Thus, a firm makes adequateinvestment in inventories, and debtors, for smooth, uninterrupted productionand sale.
Length of Operating Cycle
The length of the operating cycle can be calculated in two ways:
b) Gross Operating Cycle
c) Net Operating Cycle
a) Gross Operating Cycle

The grass operating cycle of a manufacturing concern is the sum of InventoryConversion Period and debtors (receivable) conversion period. Thus, GrossOperating Cycle is gives as follows:
Inventory conversion Period + Debtors Conversion Period
Inventory Conversion Period:
The inventory conversion period is the total time needed for producing andselling the product. It is the sum of (1) raw material conversion period, (2)work-in-progress conversion period, and (3) finished goods conversion
period. Raw material conversion period
The raw material conversion period is the average time period taken toconvert material into work-in-progress. Raw material conversion perioddepends on: (a) Raw material consumption per day, and (b) Raw materialinventory. Raw material consumption par day is given by the total rawmaterial consumption divided by the number of days in the year (say 360).The raw material conversion period is obtained when raw material inventoryis divided by raw material consumption per day.
Raw material conversion period = Raw material inventory
[Raw material consumption]/360
Work-in-progress conversion period
Work-in-progress conversion period is the average time taken to completethe semi-finished or work-in-progress. It is given by the following formula:
Work-in-progress conversion period = work-in-progress inventory
[Cost of production]/360
Finished goods conversion period

Finished goods conversion period is the average time taken to sell thefinished goods. It can be calculated as follows-
FGCP= Finished goods inventory
[Cost of goods sold]/360
Debtors conversion period:
Debtors conversion period is the average time taken to convert debtors intocash. It represents the average collection period. It is calculated asfollows:
DCP= Debtors
[Credit sales]/360
b) cash conversion or Net operating cycle
Net operating cycle is the difference between Gross operating cycle andcreditors (payables) Deferral period.
Creditors deferral period:
Creditors deferral period is the average time taken by the firm in paying its
suppliers. It is calculated as follows:CDP= Creditors
[Credit purchases]/360
In practice, a firm may acquire resources (such as raw materials) on creditand temporarily postpone payment of certain expenses. Payables, which afirm can defer, are spontaneous sources of capital to finance investment in
current assets. The creditors deferral period is the length of time the firm isable to defer payments on various resource purchases.
Net operating cycle is also referred to as cash conversion cycle. It is thenet time interval between cash collections from sale of the product and cashpayments for resources acquired by the firm. It also represents the timeinterval over which additional funds, called working capital, should be
