EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project has been a great learning experience for me at the same time it gave
me enough scope to implement my analytical ability.
The project is based on the ratio analysis of both the companies simultaneously. This
point is clearly explained in the following project report named COMPARATIVE
STUDY OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MERCEDES-BENZ INDIA
PVT LTD AND FIAT INDIA PVT LTD WITH RESPECT TO RATIO
ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. The duration of my project was two months from 01-
06-2010 to 31-07-2010. I have completed my project under the REGISTRAR OF
COMPANIES.
MERCEDES-BENZ & FIAT are well known companies in the Indian market
and they have their business operations all over the world. Over the years these
companies have increased their customer base on huge numbers by improving their
marketing and distribution strategies. This was required to be followed by huge
investments in production and other activities. So these companies have been finding
various options to meet their financial needs which will help them to reduce the
financing cost.
The Ratio Analysis technique is the process of identifying the financial
strength and weakness between the items of the balance-sheet and the profit and loss
account because the figures recorded in the financial statements are absolutely
incapable of revealing the soundness or otherwise a companys financial position or
performance. Thus the technique of Ratio Analysis has been used which is supposed
to be powerful tool for financial statement.

Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of luxury automobiles, buses,
coaches, and trucks. It is currently a division of the parent company, Daimler AG
(formerly Daimler Chrysler AG), after previously being owned by Daimler-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Karl Benz's creation of the firstpetrol-powered car,
theBenz Patent Motorwagen, patented in January 1886,and byGottlieb Daimlerand
engineerWilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol
engine later that year. The Mercedes-Benz automobile was first marketed in 1901 by
Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were
produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's
companies into the Daimler-Benz company. Mercedes-Benz has introduced many
technological and safety innovations that have become common in other vehicles
several years later. Mercedes-Benz is the world's oldest automotive brand still in
existence today.
History
Trademark origins
The newly created automobile company, Mercedes-Benz also needed a new
image symbolizing its enterprise union. The iconic three-pointed star is pervasive and
unmistakably recognized around the world. But its design has evolved in many ways
since the two companies merged in 1926. One early logo was trademarked in the
United States on Friday, 16 August 1929. An application was filed for Mercedes-Benz
by Daimler - Benz Aktiengesellschaft of Berlin , Germany with the USPTO. Their
application was filed in the primary class of non-metallic building materials and
provide a description that included, "automotive vehicles, as follows: passenger cars
and freight trucks; parts of and accessories to said vehicles"

QUALITY RANKINGS
Since its inception, Mercedes-Benz had maintained a reputation for its quality
and durability. Objective measures looking atpassenger vehicles - such as J.D. Power
surveys, demonstrated a downturn in reputation in this criteria in the late 1990s and
early 2000s. By mid-2005, Mercedes-Benz temporarily returned to the industry
average for initial quality, a measure of problems after the first 90 days of ownership,
according to J.D. Power. In J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study for the first quarter of
2007, Mercedes-Benz showed dramatic improvement by climbing from 25th to 5th
place, surpassing quality leaderToyota, and earning several awards for its models.
For 2008, Mercedes-Benz's initial quality rating improved by yet another mark, now
in fourth place. On top of this accolade, it also received the Platinum Plant Quality
Award for its Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen, Germany assembly plant. As of 2009,
Consumer Reports of the United States has changed their reliability ratings for several
Mercedes-Benz vehicles to "average", and are recommending theE-Class and theS-
Class.
Corporate average fuel economy
In the United States, Mercedes-Benz-Benz was assessed a record US$30.66
million for their decision to not meet the federal corporate average fuel economy
standard in 2009. Certain Mercedes-Benz-Benz cars including the S550, and all AMG
models sold in the United States also face an additionalgas guzzler tax.
In 2008, Mercedes-Benz had the worst CO2 average of all major European
manufacturers, ranking 14th out of 14 manufacturers. Mercedes-Benz was also the
worst manufacturer in 2007 and 2006 in terms of average CO2 levels, with 181 g and
188 g of CO2 emitted per km, respectively.

by the Team McLaren-MercedesFormula One racing team, which is part owned by
Mercedes. The 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarenhas a carbon fiber body with a
5.4 literV8supercharged engine. This is the same cylinder blockas featured in SL55
AMG and the CLS55 AMG, though modified to give 460 kilowatts (625PS; 617bhp)
and 780 Newton meters (575ftlbf) of torque. The SLR has a maximum speed of
337 kilometers per hour (209.4 mph) and costs approximately US$500,000. Due to

The two companies which were merged to form the Mercedes-Benzbrand in 1926
had both already enjoyed success in the new sport of motor racing throughout their
separate histories - both had entries in the very first automobile race Paris to Rouen
1894. This has continued, and throughout its long history, the company has been
involved in a range of motorsport activities, including sports car racing and rallying.
On several occasions Mercedes-Benz has withdrawn completely from motorsport for
a significant period, notably in the late 1930s, and after the 1955 Le Mans disaster,
where a Mercedes-Benz 300SLRcollided with another car and killed more than 80
spectators. Although there was some activity in the intervening years, it was not until
1987 that Mercedes-Benz returned to front line competition, returning to Le Mans,
Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM), and Formula One with Sauber.
The 1990s saw Mercedes-Benz-Benz purchase British engine builderIlmor
(now Mercedes-Benz-Benz High Performance Engines), and campaign IndyCars
under the USAC/CART rules, eventually winning the 1994 Indianapolis 500 and
1994 CART IndyCars World Series Championship withAl Unser, Jr. at the wheel.
The 1990s also saw the return of Mercedes-Benz to GT racing, and the Mercedes-
Benz CLK GTR, both of which took the company to new heights by dominating the
FIA's GT1 class. Mercedes-Benz is currently active in three forms of motorsport,
Formula Three, DTM and Formula One.
TUNERS
Several companies have become car tuners (ormodifiers) of Mercedes-Benz,
in order to increase performance and/or luxury to a given model.
IN HOUSE
AMG is Mercedes-Benz's in-house performance-tuning division, specializing
in high-performance versions of most Mercedes-Benz cars. AMG engines are all
hand-built,[46] and each completed engine receives a tag with the signature of the
engineer who built it. AMG has been wholly owned by Mercedes-Benz since 1999.
On the 2009 IAA in Frankfurt, Germany, Mercedes officially introduced the SLS

INNOVATIONS
The internal combustion engine automobile was developed independently by
Benz and Daimler & Maybach in 1886
Daimler invented the float carburetor which was used until replaced by fuel
injection
The "drop chassis" - the car originally designated the "Mercedes" by Daimler
was also the first car with a modern configuration, having the carriage lowered
and set between the front and rear wheels, with a front engine and powered
rear wheels. All earlier cars were "horseless carriages", which had high centre
of gravity and various engine/drive-train configurations
The first passenger road car to havebrakes on all four wheels (1924)
The "safety cage" or "safety cell" construction with front and rear crumple
zoneswas first developed by Mercedes-Benz in 1951. This is considered by
many as the most important innovation in automobile construction from a
safety standpoint
In 1959, Mercedes-Benz patented a device that prevents drive wheels from
spinning by intervening at the engine, transmission, or brakes. In 1987,
Mercedes-Benz applied its patent by introducing a traction control system that
worked under both braking and acceleration
Mercedes-Benz was the first to introduce pre-tensioners to seat belts on the
1981 S-Class. In the event of a crash, a pre-tensioner will tighten the belt
instantaneously, removing any 'slack' in the belt, which prevents the occupant
from jerking forward in a crash
In September 2003, Mercedes-Benz introduced the world's first seven-speed
automatic transmission called '7G-Tronic'
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), brake assist, and many other types of
safety equipment were all developed, tested, and implemented into passenger
cars first by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has not made a large fuss about
its innovations, and has even licensed them for use by competitors, in the
name of improving automobile and passenger safety. As a result, crumple
zones and anti-lock brakes (ABS) are now standard on all modern vehicles.

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE
The history of Fiat began many years ago, at the dawn of Italian
industrialization, in which the company has always played a leading role. On 11 July
1899, the Fabbrica Italian Automobile Torino was founded and immediately became
known as FIAT. Since then, it has lived more a century of history and experience:
models, styles, design that touched several eras and made entire generations dream.
From that moment on, the Fiat brand spread throughout the world and
developed extensively. Today, following a change in corporate culture and mentality,
the name Fiat is still fraught with meaning, and not only on account of the cars we
produce cars with attractive styling and exciting engines, cars that are accessible and
improve the quality of everyday life but also on account of our heritage and
tradition: lets take a stroll back in time through the brands history.

THE NEW CARS OF THE 1990S
After the debut of the Fiat Tempra in 1990, the 500 came out in 1991. Two
years later, in 1993, it was the moment of Fiat Punto (named Car of the Year in
1995) and Fiat Coup, with bodywork designed by Pininfarina and Centro Stile Fiat
MULTIJET ENGINES
Fuel saving and top performing, this engine proved a real success factor on the
new Fiat car models. The new system born of the evolution of the Common Rail
principle is the basis of the new second-generation Fiat engines: the small 1.3
Multijet 16v, the sporty 1.9 Multijet 120 and 150 bhp and the powerful 1.4 90
THREE YEARS OF NEW MODELS
The years 2004-2006 were an extremely busy time for the Turin company,
which, following a profound change in corporate culture and mentality, focused on a
continuous, rapid overhaul of its products, on technological research, on the quality of
its designs and on a new, constructive relationship with the customer.
During these years, this new philosophy gave rise to a series of new models,
and some restyling of older models: from the restyling of the Fiat Idea Model Year,
Seicento MY and Stilo MY to the new Multipla and the launch of the Panda 4x4, in
2004; 2005 began with the launch of the new Croma, designed by Giugiaro, the new
600 (celebrating its 50th anniversary), and the Grande Punto - beautiful, solid and
exciting. 2006 saw the launch of the New Dobl and Sedici, the 4x4xTUTTI for city
and off-road driving, and the official car of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, while
the Panda MY 2007 range was extended and overhauled.

A NEW FIAT PLANNING THE FUTURE
Building a business is not just a question of technology or financial resources
of machine or invented. It is first and foremost a question of people, culture, ability
and commitment and the mindset of seeing the future as a great opportunity for all.
Active for over a century, the group has transformed its vocation for automobiles into
a strong commitment to all forms of mobility for people and goods from cars to
trucks, agricultural tractors and marine engines.
In recent years, the group has undergone a profound cul1tural change which
permeates every aspect of the organization. And today, Fiat is not only the largest
industrial business in Italy and a major international group, it is an enterprise which
has taken its future back to its own hands. The courage and desire to change have
enabled the group to achieve remarkable results. The numerous awards and
recognition received are acknowledgement of those results. But the greatest
recognition is every time a customer places his trust in fiat by buying one of our cars,
truck and tractors. And the group is prepared to play a major role in the restructuring
of the auto industry, an example of the role of fiats global strategic alliance wit h
Chrysler. Fiat has become a shareholder of the US group and will contribute its
world-class technology, platforms and powertrain for small and medium- sized cars to
Chrysler. As a result of the alliance, the group will also have a platform to once again
sell its cars in the United States. And Fiat recently announced 2010-2014 plans set a
course of significant growth. Today the group is a combination of two different
businesses: on one side, the automobiles and related components businesses and, on
the other. The truck and agriculture & from earth other in terms of their respective
economic cycles, profit margins and the capital requirements, as well as the
characteristics of their customers and markets. And even the stock market has always
valued them differently.
For this reasons, our plan also calls for a demerger of lveco and CNH, along
with the Industrial & Marine business of FPT Powertrain Technologies, from the
automobiles- related activities, which include Fiat Group Automobiles, Ferrari and
Maserali, Magneti Marelli, Teksi, Comau and the Passenger & commercial vehicles

INTRODUCTION OF SUBJECT
Finance is defined as the art and science of managing money. The major areas of
finance are:
Financial services
Financial management
While financial services is concerned with the design and delivery of advice and
financial products to individuals, businesses and governments within the areas of
banking and related institutions, personal financial planning, investments, real estate,
insurance and so on, financial management is concerned with the duties of financial
managers in the business firm. Financial managers actively manage the financial
affairs of any type of business, namely, financial and non-financial, private and
public, large and small, profit seeking and not-for-profit. They perform such varied
tasks as budgeting, financial forecasting, cash management, credit administration,
investment analysis, funds management and so on.
Financial Analysis and Review:-
Financial Analysis and Review involves the application of analytical tools and
techniques to the financial data to get information that is useful in decision making.
The foundation of any good analysis is a thorough understanding of the objectives to
be achieved and the uses to which it is going to be put. Such understanding leads to
economy of effort as well as to a useful and most relevant focus on the points that
need to be clarified and the estimates and projections that are required.
Financial analysis is oriented towards the achievement of definite objectives.
There are three types of users to whom the financial analysis could be useful. They
are short-term lenders, long-term lenders and finally stockholders. The process of
financial analysis can described in various ways, depending on the objectives to be
obtained. Financial analysis can be used as a preliminary screening tool in the
selection of stocks in the secondary market. It can be used as a forecasting tool of
future financial conditions and results. It may be used as a process of evaluation and
diagnosis of managerial, operating and other problem areas. Financial analysis

reduces reliance on intuition, guesses and thus narrows the areas of uncertainty that is
present in all decision making process. Financial analysis does not lessen the need for
judgment but rather establishes a sound and systematic basis for its rational
application.
Sources of financial information:-
The financial data needed in the financial analysis come from many sources.
The primary source is the data provided by the firm itself in its annual report and
required disclosure. The annual report comprise of the income statement, the balance-
sheet and the statement of cash flows, as well as footnotes to those statements.
Besides this, information such as the market price of securities of publicly traded
corporations can be found in financial press and the electronic media daily. The
financial press also provides information on stock price indices for industries and for
the market as a whole.
Financial statement: - A financial statement means a picture of concern financial
position and operating result in consoled form.
Definition:-
"A financial statement is the end product of a financial accounting system
and it may be described as a portrait of the financial performance of the
company.
Every financial manager is involved in financial decision making and
financial planning in order to take right decision at right time, he should be equipped
with sufficient past and present information about the firm and its operations and how
it is changing overtime. Much of this information that is used by financial manager to
take various decisions and to plan for the future is derived from the financial
statements. A financial statement is the compilation of data, which is logically and
consistently organized according to accounting principles. Its purpose is to convey an
understanding of some financial aspects of a business firm. It may show a position at
a moment in time, as in the case of balance-sheet, or may reveal a series of activities
over a given period of time, as in the case of an income statement. Financial
statements are the major means through which firms present their financial situation

to creditors, stock-holders and general public. The majority of firms include extensive
financial statements in their annual reports, which are distributed widely.
Financial analysis involves the use of various financial statements. These
statements do several things. First, the balance sheet summarizes the assets, liabilities
and owners equity of a business at moment in time, usually the end of a year or a
quarter. Next the income statement summarizes the revenues and expenses of the firm
over a period of time while balance sheet represents a snapshot of the firm s financial
position at a moment in time.

Ratio analysis is widely used-tool of financial analysis. It can be used to compare
the risk and return relationship of firms of different sizes. It is defined as the
systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and
weakness of the firm as well as its historical performance and current financial
condition can be determined. Trend ratios involve a comparison of the ratios of a firm
over time, that is, present ratios are compared with past ratios for the same firm. The
comparison of the profitability of a firm, say, year 1 through 5 is an illustration of a
trend ratio. Trend ratios indicate the direction of change in the performance-
improvement, deterioration or constancy over the years.
Ratio analysis is the process of determining and interpretation mathematical
relationship based on financial statement. The comparison of financial ratios against
the norms established helps to diagnosis the financial condition and arrive at
conclusions.
The comparison of financial ratios is done against the following:-
Standard set
Historical figures
Inter-firm analysis
Ratio analysis is considered as a powerful tool of financial analysis through
which economic and financial position of the business can be fully X-rayed. They
provide a coordinated frame of reference for judging financial performance. They
convey the entire story of the financial adventure of the enterprise. They
comprehend and simplify a heap of financial data through one particular figure which
conveys the complete meaning. They focus on the specific relationship in the
financial statements. Ratio analysis is not an end in itself. It is merely a means ofknowing the financial strength and weakness of a firm. One can calculate no. of ratios
from the information given in the financial statement but exactly which ratio is to be
calculated this decision depends on the intention of the analysis for which he wants to
analysis and interpret the data.

whole.
Its main purpose is to gain insights into the operating and financial
problems confronting the firm.
It helps to pinpoint relationship that is not obvious from the financial
statements.
It helps to highlight the factors responsible for the present state of
financial statements.
It helps the shareholders in evaluating the firms activities and policiesthat affect the profitability, liquidity and ultimately the market price of
the shares
It helps to examine the adequacy of funds, the solvency of the firm and
its ability to meet the financial obligations as and when they become
due.
It is very useful in inter-firm and intra-firm analysis.
A trend can be established by calculating ratios for number of years.

IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS
Accounting ratio reveals the financial positions of a business firm. This helps
bank, insurance companies as well as other financial institutions, in assessing
a firm before sanctioning any loan to them.
Similarly, the ratios are very helpful to investors for finding the profitability of a
firm.
The ratio are very helpful in inter firm and intra-firm comparisons. Inter-firm
comparisons are necessary to find out the exact position of a firm as compared
to other firms in the same industry.
Intra-firm comparison is also necessary to compare the performance of a firm ofcurrent year with that of previous year.
If accounting ratios are calculated for a no. of years a trend can be established.
The trend helps in setting future plans and forecasting.
The ratio is calculated by dividing one figure by the other figure. It may be
expressed in any of the three ways Times, Proportion, Percentage according
to the convenience or suitability.
LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS
There may be a difference between the inventory methods followed by
various firms or different method in the same firm.
Firms follow various methods of depreciation.
There may be a difference between the capital structures of the firms.
Inflationary factors are not taken into consideration. Thus when the past
performance is analyzed, the figures may have become outdated

2. ACID-TEST RATIO
Also called the quick ratio, the acid test ratio is defined as:
This ratio is better tool to measure the ability to honor day to day
commitments. It is the ratio between the liquid assets and liquid liabilities. From the
balance sheet, liquid assets are calculated by deducting inventories and prepaid
expenses from current assets. Liquid liabilities are current liabilities less bank
overdraft.
`The ideal liquid ratio is considered to be 1:1, which means that liquid current
assets should be equal to the liquid current liabilities. This ratio indicates whether the
firm has the ability to pay its short-term liabilities or not.
3. ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO
Sometimes, financial analyst looks at absolute liquid ratio, which is defined as:
This is very stringent measure of liquidity. Indeed lack of immediate cash may
not matter if the firm can stretch its payments or borrowed money at short notice.
35
ACID-TEST RATIO = LIQUID CURRENT ASSETS
LIQUID LIABILITIES

In using this ratio however, the following points should be borne in mind
The book value of equity may be an understatement of its true value in
a period of rising prices. This happens because assets are carried atthere historical values less depreciation, not a current values.
Some form of debt (like term loan, secured debenture and secured
short-term bank borrowings)are usually protected by charges on
specific assets and hence enjoy superior protection.
3. PROPRIETARY RATIO
It is primarily the ratio between the proprietors funds and total assets.
This ratio indicates the proportion of proprietors fund used for financing the
total assets a high ratio will indicate high financial strength, but a very high
ratio will indicate that the firm is not using external funds adequately.
` This ratio is calculated with the help of following formula:

TURNOVER RATIOS
The ratios computed under this group indicate the efficiency of the organization
to use the various kinds of assets by converting them in the form of sales. As the
assets can be basically categorized as FIXED ASSET and CURRENT ASSETS
and as the current assets may further be classified according to the individual
components of current assets viz. inventory and receivables or debtor or as net
current asset i.e. current assets less current liabilities viz. working capital, under
this group of classification of ratios, following ratios may be computed:
1. FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO
It is calculated as:
Net sales include sales after returns if any, both cash as well as credit.
Fixed assets include net fixed assets i.e. fixed assets after providing for
depreciation.
INDICATION/PRECAUTIONS
A high fixed assets turnover ratio indicates the capabilities of the organization
to achieve maximum sales with the minimum investment in fixed assets. It
indicates that the fixed assets are turned over in the form of sales more number of
times. As such, higher the fixed assets turnover ratio better will be the situation.

2. CURRENT ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:
It is calculated as:
Net sales include sales after returns if any, both cash as well as credit.
Current Assets include the assets like inventories, sundry debtors, bills
receivables, and cash in hand or at bank, marketable securities, prepaid expenses
and short term loans and advances.
INDICATION/PRECAUTIONS
A high current assets turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organization
to achieve maximum sales with the minimum investment in current assets. It
indicates that the current assets are turned over in the form of sales more number
of times. As such, higher the current assets turnover ratio better will be the
situation.
3. INVENTORY/STOCK TURNOVER RATIO
It is calculated as:
A high inventory turnover ratio indicates that maximum sales turnover is
achieved with the minimum investment in inventory. As such as a general rule,
high inventory turnover ratio is desirable. However the high inventory turnover
ratio should be viewed from some more angles. Firstly it may indicate that there is
under investment in inventory whereby the organization may lose customer
patronage if it is unable to maintain the delivery schedule. Secondly, high
inventory turnover ratio may not necessarily indicate profitable situation. An

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
MEANING OF RESEARCH:
Research is systematic process of collecting and analyzing information in
order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are concerned
or interested. It is a purposive investigation of hypothetical propositions. Research as
a process involves defining and redefining problems, hypothesis formulation,
organizing and evaluating data, deriving deductions, inferences and conclusion, after
careful testing.
STEPS IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Step 1: To decide Objective of the study
Study the constituents and the concept of Financial Analysis and Review.
Analyze and interpret Financial Position of the companies
Step 2: To decide Research Design
What is Research Design?
Research Design is a logical and systematic planning and directing of piece of
research. Research design attempts to integrate various aspects of research
study. Such as what, where, when, how, etc. It is a plan structure and strategy
of investigation.

42/79
The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to
make decisions about important issues, to pass information on to others. Primarily,
data is collected to provide information regarding a specific topic.
What are Sources of Data?
SECONDARY DATA:
Data that has been collected earlier for some purpose other than the purpose
for present study, the data already available are called secondary data. To avoid
duplicating efforts, running up unnecessary costs and tiring the informants, it is
recommended wherever possible to rely on existing information.
The sources used for collecting secondary data for this research are:
Balance Sheets, Income Statements and necessary records.
Websites.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH:
1. Research is directed towards the solution of problems.
2. Originates with a question or problem.
3. Follows a specific plan or procedure.
4. Research demands accurate observation and description.
5. Accepts certain critical assumptions.
6. Requires collection and interpretation of data.
7. Cyclical (regular) in nature.
8. Research is carefully recorded and reported.
COMMONLY USED RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
Qualitative vs. Quantitative :
Qualitative research is collecting; analyzing and interpreting data by
observing what people do and say i.e. meanings, concept, definitions,
characteristics, metaphors, symbols, and descriptions of things.
Quantitative research refers to research involving counts and measures of
42

Descriptive vs. Analytical:
Descriptive research attempts to determine, describe, or identify what is its
use, description, classification, measurement, and comparison to describe
what phenomenon are, while analytical research attempts to establish whyit is that way or how it came to be. The analytical research usually
concerns itself with cause- effect relationships.
Conceptual vs. Empirical:
Conceptual research is that related to some ideas or theory. It is
generally used by philosophers and thinkers to develop new concepts or to
reinterpret existing ones.
Empirical research relies on experience or observation alone often without
due regard for system and theory.
Applied vs. Fundamental
Applied research focuses on solving an immediate problem faced by a
society or an industrial / business organization.
Fundamental research has its primary objective the advancement of
knowledge and the theoretical understandings of the relations among
variables.
METHODOLOGY USED FOR THE STUDY:
The information for the project work collected from the secondary source. The
balance-sheet and profit and loss account of both the companies was taken from
the registrar of companies.

it indicates the utilization of fixed assets. The higher the ratio higher will be the
amount of sales generated per rupee of investment in fixed assets. In the above chart it
is advisable to both the firm to increase the ratio, which will result in higher amount
of turnover whereas the Mercedes-Benz has a better ratio than Fiat especially in 2009.

INTERPRETATION: - This ratio establishes the relationship between the cost of
goods sold during a given period and the average amount of inventory held during
that period. A higher ratio is better as it shows the rapid turnover of stock and
consequently shorter holding period, on the other hand if the ratio is lower it indicates
that the stock is slow moving and there is longer holding period.In the above chart
inventory turnover ratio of Mercedes-Benz is showing a downward trend, hence it
should be increased to reduce the holding period where as in case of Fiat it is going
upward so it should keep going in the same manner.
