DEFENCE

Military Communications has been a forte of BEL even since its inception in 1954.

BEL has been involved in providing state-of-the-art communication equipment to

the Indian Army, be it hand held mobile radios and terminals, ground based

systems, airborne and even ship borne equipments and systems.

The products and systems offered by BEL cover HF, VHF, UHF and V/UHF

frequency bands and are based on the latest DSP/Digital communication

technologies. Encryption and Frequency Hopping implemented in various

transreceivers has been possible because of the dedicated research and

development team working on these radios. BEL also engineers and supplies

turnkey defence communication solutions tailored to the specific needs of the

customer.

BEL is a pioneer in India in the field of designing and manufacturing Radars for

both defence and civilian applications.

RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a system which transmits a signal at a

particular frequency and receives the returned/echoed signal from the target. The

target could be a friend or a foe. The raw echoed signal is processed digitally by

signal processors and relevant information on the location and type of the target is

extracted for further processing.

25

Defence Radars (Land based, Airborne or Ship borne) are used for guarding the

defence forces against enemy targets.

BEL has the distinction of manufacturing all the above types of Radars.

The need to communicate between ships, ship and aircraft and ship and shore

stations is ever increasing as sensor and weapon systems become more and

more sophisticated. The commanders of individual ships or group of ships need to

communicate with each other so that the Naval force can function effectively as an

integrated entity. BEL has a dedicated Strategic Business Unit to cater to these

needs of Naval Defence forces. It is involved in the design and manufacturing of a

wide variety of control, command and communications systems as well as Radars,

SONARS, Decoys and Sonobuoys.

SONARS (Sound Navigation and Ranging) products from BEL cover the range

of under water applications for surface ships, submarines and Naval aviation. BEL

also offers Naval systems in user defined configurations for different types and

classes of ships, submarines and other platforms and applications.

Opto - Electronics is the art of Imaging. It is the know-how focused on fine-tuning

combination of optical techniques. It offers unmatched capabilities when it comes

to seeing at ever increasing distances or identifying and guiding with pin-point

precision, be it day or night.

BEL manufactures high performance surveillance equipment that can look through

dark nights and aid the defence forces in round the clock operations. Passive,

accurate and high performance optronic systems manufactured by BEL provide

the military with the speed of viewing and an operational effectiveness, in many

cases, the extra edge required to prevent or minimize confrontations.

Experience in manufacturing state-of-the-art night vision goggles, binoculars,

Weapon sights has led BEL to delve into civilian applications as well. Some of the

26

medical equipments manufactured by BEL are Ophthalmic Zoom microscope,

ENT Surgical microscope and DRISHTI , an opthalmic laser system for eye-care

applications.

The requirement of defence electronics and communications is not limited to the

transceivers in various frequencies. Modern armaments like Battle Tanks are fitted

with a lot of modern state-of-the art electronics equipment which facilitate

communication among the crew within the tank as well as with the outside army

installations. The computer systems fitted in the tanks facilitate the gunner to aim

at the targets much more accurately than before thereby increasing the kill rate

and the efficiency of the tank as a main fighter equipment with the armed forces.

One of the strategic business units of BEL has been engaged in providing the

latest and most modern electronics aids within the tank for the Indian Defence

forces. Some of the equipment like Tank fire control system, Tank stabilizers and

Communication equipment are manufactured by BEL.

In modern warfare, electronically guided weapon systems have a kill probability

close to unity while command, control and communication systems ensure

effective co-ordination of the available resources. This makes undefended vital

installations easy targets for destruction. Improper operation of the electronic

circuits would make the weapon system as well as the command, control and

communication infrastructure totally ineffective. It is, hence, seen that if

counter-electronic systems are used to reduce the effectiveness of the

electronic circuits, the end result of the battle could be different.

The technique and technology that result in the manufacturing of systems,

capable of electronically degrading an electronic system is called

“ELECTRONIC WARFARE”.

Effective use of Electronic Warfare is only possible if sufficient knowledge of

the electronic equipment used by the enemy is available. BEL has the know-

27

how for designing and developing Electronic Warfare Systems in the areas of

Signal Intelligence, Electronic Counter Measure and Electronic Support

Measure.

Training is a very important aspect of learning and that is where BEL has stepped

in with its learning aids called SIMULATORS.

Simulators are products which aid learning by providing a real life experience

under various simulated external conditions that a person may experience. The

purpose is to equip the learner with the basics of the real life equipment, its

features, functionality and various dos and don’ts that need to be observed while

handling the equipment.

BEL has developed simulators to train people who operate the modern battle

tanks, drive heavy vehicles and the commanders of the ship.

28

NON DEFENCE

The need to communicate by voice, exchange of data or both of them is the most

important aspect of a social human being. Different technologies have evolved

over the years which have provided different media to the customer to choose

from - telephone lines (PSTN), ISDN, Wireless, Satellite etc.

Wide experience of BEL is providing communication solutions to the Defence

forces enabled BEL venture into manufacturing some civilian telecommunication

products like multiplexers/Demultiplexers, Digital Cross Connects,

Exchanges/Switches and TDMA/PMP Radio system.

Radio and Television has become a part of every man’s life. It is a major source

of information, knowledge and entertainment. BEL has kept pace with the growth

of Radio and Television broadcasting in India. It has been the forerunner in

providing the transmitters and other associated equipment to enable National

Radio and TV Broadcasters to reach the nook and corner of India ever since 1973.

BEL has also developed expertise in providing total turnkey system solutions

covering Radio and TV broadcasting systems in FM/SW/MW and VHF/UHF

frequency bands respectively

29

Bharat Electronics Limited has set up a full fledged plant to manufacture a wide

range of Round and Pseudosquare Mono Crystalline Silicon photovoltaic cells and

modules. BEL offers customized solar photovoltaic systems for different

applications to meet the requirements of the customer. The solar powered devices

provide a safe and clean energy source for wide ranging applications in industrial,

domestic and agricultural fields.

Solar energy is the most economical, non-conventional energy source gaining

interest throughout the world. The Photovoltaic systems designed by BEL to tap

the solar energy, can be installed for any applications, quickly and easily.

Components are the building blocks of any product. BEL has the distinction of

manufacturing not only the products but also the components for these products

thereby bringing in a lot of indigenization and cost reduction.

Manufacturing of components has also helped BEL serve the customers by

providing them with component level repair and sales maintenance facility thereby

providing not only customer satisfaction but also customer.

BEL has set up state-of-art manufacturing facilities to manufacture a wide range of

components.

Volume production of the above components has also enabled BEL to sell these

components in the local as well as international market. BEL has set up

impressive network of distribution in India for marketing and also has offices in

New York and Singapore for assisting International Marketing Division of BEL.

30

Decades of experience in the design and manufacturing a plethora of products in

diverse fields for both defence and non-defence sectors has aided BEL in

designing and manufacturing some products catering to very specific market

segments.

These products are very hot selling products in their respective markets and hence

have given BEL tremendous boost to continue its efforts in serving the community

with products of such nature.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

Analysis of Financial Statements (AFS) refers to the progress of critical

examination of the financial information contained in the financial statements in

order to understand & make decisions regarding the operations of the

company. The AFS is basically a study of the relationship among various

financial facts & figures as given in a set of financial statements. The basic

financial statements i.e., the Balance Sheet & the Income Statement

contained a whole lot of financial data. The complex figures as given in these

financial statements are dissected into simple & valuable elements, &

significant relationships are established between the elements of the same

dissection, establishing relationships & interpretation thereof to understand the

working & financial position of a firm is called AFS. Thus, AFS is the process of

establishing & identifying the financial weakness & strengths of the company.

40

OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The following are the objectives of financial analysis: -

1.) Judging The Earning Capacity Or Profitability::

On the basis of financial statements, the earning capacity of the business

concerned may be computed. In addition to this the future earning capacity of the

concerned may be forecasted. All the external users of accounts, especially the

investors are interested in this.

2.) Judging The Short & Long- Term Solvency Of The Concern::

On the basis of financial statements, the solvency of the concern may be judged.

Debenture holders & lenders judge the ability of the company to pay the Principal

& Interest, as most of the companies raise a portion of their capital requirements

by issuing debentures & raising long-term loans. Trade creditors are mainly

interested in assessing the short-term solvency of the business as they want to

know that the business is in a position to pay debts as & when they fall due.

3.) Making Forecasts & Preparing Budgets::

Past financial Analysis helps a great deal in assessing developments in the future,

specially the next year. For example, given a certain investment, it may be

possible to forecast the next year’s profit on the basis of earning capacity shown in

the past. Analysis thus helps in preparing budgets.

41

TYPES OF COMPARISION

Comparison is the second step in RA. The ratio can be compared in three different

ways:

A.) Cross Section Analysis : - In this, the Ratios of a firm are compared with

the ratios of some other selected firm in the same industry at the same

point of time. The Cross Section Analysis helps the Analyst to find out as

to how a particular firm has performed in relation to its competitors. The

firm’s performance may be compared with the performance of the leader

in the industry in order to uncover the major operational inefficiencies.

B.) Time Series Analysis (TSA) : - In this, the performance of the firm is

evaluated over a period of time. By comparing the present performance of

a firm with the performance of the same firm over the last few years, an

assessment can be made about the trend progress of the firm, about the

direction of progress of the firm. The information generated by the T.S.A

can be of immense help to the firm to make planning for future operations.

The T.S.A can also help the firm to assess whether the firm is

approaching long-term goals or not.

C.) Combined Analysis : - In this cross section and time series analysis are

combined to study the behavior and pattern of ratios so that meaningful

and comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the firm can be

made.

The basis of our comparison shall be limited to time series analysis since

the basic objective of our analysis is to compare the present performance

of BEL with its performance over last two years.

42

INTRODUCTION TO RATIO ANALYSIS (RA)

The RA has emerged as a principal technique of the AFS. A ratio is the

relationship expressed in mathematical term between two individual and group of

figures connected with each other in some logical manner.

The RA is based on the premise that a single accounting figure by itself may not

communicate any meaningful information but when expressed as a relative to

some other figure, it may definitely give some significant information. The

relationship between 2 or more accounting figures/groups is called a Financial

Ratio. A Financial Ratio helps to summarize a large mass of financial data into a

concise form & to make meaningful interpretations & conclusions about the

performance & position of the firm.

STEP IN RATIO ANALYSIS

The RA requires two steps as follows:

(i) Calculations of the Ratios.

(ii) Comparing the ratios with some predetermined standards. The

standard ratio may be the last ratio of the same firm or a projected

ratio or the ratio of the most successful firm in the industry. In

interpreting the ratio of a particular firm, the analyst cannot reach any

fruitful conclusion unless the calculated ratio is compared with some

predetermined standards.

43

CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS

Broadly speaking, the operations and financial positions of the firms can be

described by studying its profitability, its long term and short-term liquidity position

and its operational activities. Therefore the ratios can be studied by classifying into

the following groups:

The Liquidity Ratios

The Activity Ratios

The Leverage Ratios

The Profitability Ratios

The Liquidity Ratios

The term ‘Liquidity’ refers to the maintenance of cash, bank balance and those

assets which are easily convertible into cash in order to meet the liabilities as and

when arising. The terms ‘Liquidity ratios’ study the firm’s short-term solvency and

its ability to pay off the liabilities. The day-to-day problems of financial

management consist of the highly important task of finding sufficient cash to meet

current obligations. The short-term liquidity risk arises primarily from the need to

finance current operations.

The liquidity ratios provide a quick measure of liquidity of the firm by establishing

the relationship between its current assets and current liquidities. If the firm does

not have sufficient liquidity, it may not be in a position to meet its commitments

and thereby may lose its credit worthiness. The liquidity ratios are also called

Balance Sheet Ratio because the information required for the calculation of

liquidity ratios is available in the balance sheet only. Some of common liquidity

ratios are:

44

A.) CURRENT RATIO : - It is the most common & popular measure of

studying the liquidity of a firm. It is an indicator of the firm’s ability to meet

its short-term obligations. It matches the total current assets of the firm

against its current liabilities. It s calculated as follows: -

CURRENT RATIO = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

The Current Assets include those assets, which are in the form of cash or

convertible into cash within a period of one year. The term current assets also

include Prepaid Expenses & Short-term investments, if any. The current liabilities

all types of liabilities, which will mature for payment within the period of one year.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The Current Ratio shows the extent to which the current assets are quickly

convertible in to cash exceeds the liabilities that will be shortly payable. The

current ratio, so calculated is compared with a standard ratio. Generally, a current

ratio of 2:1 is considered to be satisfactory. A higher ratio indicates poor

investment policies of the management & poor inventory control while a low ratio

indicates lack of liquidity & shortage of working capital.

45

B.) QUICK RATIO : - It is also called ‘Acid test or Liquid Ratio’. Quick Ratio is

worked out to test the short-term liquidity of the firm in its current form.

This ratio establishes the relationship between liquid Current Assets & the

Current liabilities. A currents asset is considered to be liquid if it is

convertible into cash without loss of time & value. On the basis of this

definition of liquid assets, the inventory is singled out of total Current

Assets as the inventory is considered to be potentially liquid. The reason

for keeping inventories out is that it may become obsolete, unsaleable or

out of fashion & always require time for releasing into cash.

Moreover, the inventories have tendencies to fluctuate in value. Another item,

which is generally kept out, is the Prepaid Expenses because by nature these

Prepaid Expenses are not realizable in cash. It is calculated as:

QUICK RATIO = Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities

SIGNIFICANCE:

Quick ratio is an indicator of short-term solvency of the firm. In fact, it is a better

indicator of liquidity as it involves computation of Liquid Assets, which means the

illiquid portion of the current assets is eliminated. Quick ratio is considered as a

further refinement of current ratio. Generally a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to be

satisfactory because this means that the Quick Assets of the firm are just equal to

the current liabilities & there does not seem to be a possibility of default in

payment by the firm.

46

47

THE ACTIVITY RATIOS

The activity ratios are also called the ‘Turnover Ratios or Performance Ratios’. An

activity ratio is a measure of movement & thus indicates as to how frequently an

account has moved/turned over during a period. It shows as to how efficiently &

effectively the assets of the firm are being utilized. These Ratios are usually

calculated with reference to sales/cost of goods sold & are expressed in terms of

rate or times. Activity ratios for each type of assets are calculated separately.

Following are the important Activities Ratios.

A.) Capital Turnover Ratio (CTR): - Capital Turnover indicates the speed or

rate with which Capital Employed is rotated in the process of doing

business. Efficient Rotation of capital would lead to higher profitability.

The Resultant Ratio would show the number of times the capital has

been rotated in the process of doing business.

The Ratio is calculated as follows: -

Capital Turnover Ratio = Net sales / Capital Employed

CTR establishes the relationship between sales & capital employed. The objective

of working out this ratio is to determine how efficiently the Capital Employed is

being used. Higher the ratio, greater is the sales made per rupee of Capital

Employed in the firm & hence higher is the profit. A low CTR refers to low sales

generated in relation to Capital Employed or excessive Capital being used in the

firm.

48

B.) Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio : - This Ratio shows how to well the fixed

assets are being utilized. If compared with a previous period, it indicates

whether the investment in fixed assets has been judicious or not.


Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Net sales / Fixed Assets

In computing Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio, the fixed assets are generally taken at

written down value at the end of the year.

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio indicates how efficiently the fixed assets are used. If

there is an increase in the ratio, it will indicate that there is improvement in the

utilization of fixed assets. If there is a fall in the ratio, it is a case for the

management to investigate the fall; if fixed assets remain idle for any reason, the

Turnover Ratio will decrease.

C.) Net Working Capital Turnover Ratio: - This Ratio indicates the number

of times a unit invested in working capital produces sale. In other words,

this ratio indicates the efficiency in the utilization of short-term funds in

making the sales. Net working capital means excess of current assets

over current liabilities careful handling of short-term funds will mean a

reduction in the amount of capital employed thereby improving turnover.



NWC Turnover Ratio = Net sales / Net Working Capital

49

SIGNIFICANCE:

This ratio indicates whether or not Working Capital has been effectively utilized in

making sales. It shows the number of times a unit invested in a working capital

produces sale.

D.) Stock Turnover Ratio or Inventory Turnover Ratio :- This ratio

establishes the relationship between the cost of goods sold during a

given period & the average amount of inventory carried during that

period. It indicates whether stock has been efficiently utilized or not, the

purpose being to check whether only the required minimum has been

locked up in stocks.


Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Stock or

Inventory

Cost Of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases +

Direct Expenses – Closing Stock.

OR

Cost Of Goods Sold = Net Sales – Gross Profit.

Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)/2.

50

SIGNIFICANCE:

Stock turnover Ratio indicates whether stock has been efficiently used or not. The

purpose of this ratio is to check whether only the required minimum amount has

been invested in stock. Higher the ratio, better it is, since it indicates that more

sales are being produced by a rupee of investment in stocks. A low Stock turnover

may reflect a dull business, over investment in stocks, accumulation of stock at the

end of the period in anticipation of higher prices or unsaleable goods etc.

E.) Debtors Turnover Ratio or Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio : - In

case the firm sells the goods on credit, the realization of sales revenue is

delayed & the receivables (Debtors &/or Bills) are credited. The cash is

realized from these receivables at a later stage. The speed with which

these receivable are collected affects the liquidity position of the firm.

The receivable turnover ratio revels the velocity of receivable collection

by matching the annual credit sales to the average receivables as

follows:

Receivable Turnover Ratio = Annual net Credit Sale / Average

Receivables

In case details regarding opening & closing Receivables & credit sales are not

given, the ratio may be worked out as follows:

Debtors Turnover Ratio = Total Sales / Account Receivables

51

SIGNIFICANCE:

Debtor’s turnover ratio indicates the efficiency with which the amounts due from

debtors are collected. The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it would indicate

that debts are being collected more quickly. Prompt collection of book debts will

release funds, which may then be put to some other use.

F.) Average Collection Period or Debtor’s Day : - This ratio shows the

number of days, for which sales remain uncollected.


Average Collection Period = Days in a year / Debtors Turnover

SIGNIFICANCE:

Debt collection period do the customer enjoy a measure of the average credit

period? It indicates the average time leg between sales & collection thereof. A

shorter collection period indicates prompt payment by debtors, which reduces the

chances of bed debts. A longer collection period indicates the risk of collection of

debts & increase in the cost of collection, also loss of interest on the money due

from the debtors.

G.) Creditors Turnover Ratio or Accounts Payable Ratio : - This ratio

indicates the velocity with which payment for credit purchases are made

to creditors. The term ‘Accounts Payable’ includes Creditors & Bills

Payable.


52

Creditors Turnover Ratio = Total Credit Purchase / Average

Accounts Payable

In case the details regarding the credit Purchases, opening & closing accounts

payable are not given, the ratio may be worked out as follows:

Creditors Turnover Ratio = Total Purchase / Accounts Payable

SIGNIFICANCE:

Creditor’s turnover ratio indicates whether the firm is actually enjoying the credit

promised by suppliers. If the firm enjoy lower credit period, it means creditors are

being promptly & the firm is not taking the full advantage of credit facilities.

H.) Average Payment Period or Age of Purchases or Credit Enjoyed

(APP): - The Purpose of computing average payment period is to

indicate the speeds with which the payments for credit purchases are

made to creditors.


Average Payment Period = Days in a Year/Creditors Turnover

53

SIGNIFICANCE:

The Average payment period can be meaningfully evaluated by comparing it with

the credit period allowed by the suppliers. To the extent possible, a firm should try

to maintain the APP, which I approximately equal to the credit terms of the

supplier. This will help improving the goodwill & credit worthiness of the firm in the

market. The suppliers are primarily concerned with APP since it provides with an

idea of the payment pattern of the firm. On the other hand, if a firm is unable to

maintain the APP as required by the supplier, it indicates that the facilities given by

the creditors are not being fully utilized or that the firm is unnecessarily damaging

its credit in the market.

THE LEVERAGE RATIOS

The leverage ratios are also called as ‘Solvency Ratios’. The term ‘Solvency’

implies ability of a concern to meet its long-term indebtedness. Some important

solvency ratios are:

A.) Debt Equity Ratio (DE Ratio) : - The DE Ratio is worked out to

ascertain soundness of the long-term financial policies of the firm. The

DE Ratio is based on the assumption that the extent to which a firm

should employ the debt should be viewed in terms of the size of the

cushion provided by the shareholders funds.


DE Ratio = Debt (Long Term Loans)/Equity (Shareholders

54

Funds)

Debt means long term loans i.e. debentures, loan from long-term financial

institution. Equity means shareholders i.e. preference share capital, equity share

capital, reserves; Accumulated profits less losses & fictitious assets like

preliminary expenses.

SIGNIFICANCE:

Since the debt involves firm’s commitment to pay interest over the long run &

eventually to repay the principal amount, the financial analyst, the debt lender, the

preference shareholders, the equity shareholders & the management pay close

attention to the degree of indebtedness & capacity of the firm to serve the debts.

The more the debt a firm uses, the higher is the probability that the firm may be

unable to fulfill its commitments towards its debt lender. The DE Ratio throws light

on the margin of safety available to the debt lenders of the firm. If a firm with a

high DE Ratio fails then a chunk of the financial loss may have to be borne by the

debt holder of the firm. The greater the DE Ratio, higher would be the risk of

lenders. Also the term of credit will become unfavorable to the firm. On the other

hand a low DE Ratio implies a low risk to lenders & creditors of the firm.

A question that now arises is that what should be the ideal DE Ratio. The answer

to the above question is that a balance between the proportions of debt equity

should be maintained so as to take care of the interest of lenders, shareholders &

the firm as a whole. In India, this ratio is taken as acceptable as 2:1. If the DE

Ratio is more then that, it shows a rather risky financial position from long-term

point of view. However, 1:1 is considered as the ideal DE Ratio.

55

B.) Interest Coverage Ratio : When a business borrows money, the lender

is interested in finding out whether the business would earn sufficient

profits to pay periodically the interest charges. A ratio, which expresses

this, is called Interest Coverage Ratio or Debt Service Ratio or Fixed

Charges Cover.


Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit Before Interest & Tax

Interest on Fixed (Long Term)

Loans or Debentures

SIGNIFICANCE:

This ratio indicates how many times the profit covers fixed interest. It measures

margin of safety for the lenders. If profit just equals interest, it is a bad position for

the company as nothing will be left for shareholders & lenders. Higher the ratio,

more secure will be the lender in respect of his periodical interest income.

C.) Total Debt Ratio : The total Debt Ratio compares the total Debts (Long

Term as well as Short Term) with the total assets.


Total Debt Ratio = Total Debts / Total Assets OR

56

Total Debt Ratio = (Long Term Debts + Current Liabilities)

(Total Debts + Net Worth)

SIGNIFICANCE:

The total debt ratio depicts the proportion of total assets financed by the total

liabilities. The remaining assets are financed by the shareholders funds. Higher

the total debt ratio, the more risky is the solution because all liabilities are to be

repaid sooner or later. Moreover, higher liabilities imply greater financial risk also.

D). Fixed Assets Ratio: It must be known that fixed assets should be financed

only out of long-term funds. The ratio will be 1, if long-term funds are equal to fixed

assets. If the ratio is less then 1, it means that the firm has adopted the imprudent

policy of using short-term funds for acquiring fixed assets; on the other hand, a

very high ratio would indicate that long-term funds are being used for short-term

purposes i.e. for financing working capital. It is not good from the firm’s point of

view because it is usually more difficult to raise long-term funds.


Fixed Assets Ratio = Net Fixed Assets

Shareholders fund + Long Term Loans

SIGNIFICANCE:

This ratio is important to ascertain the proper investments of funds from the point o

view of long-term financial soundness. It indicates as to what extent fixed assets

are financed out of long term funds. This ratio should normally be more then 1. If it

57

is less then 1, it means that the firm has followed the wrong policy of using short-

term funds for long term needs.

D.) Proprietary Ratio: This ratio establishes the relationship between the

proprietor’s & shareholders funds & the total assets. It is expressed as:

Proprietary Ratio = Proprietors funds or Shareholders / Total

Assets

SIGNIFICANCE:

The ratio is of particular importance to the creditors who can find out the proportion

of shareholders funds in the total assets employed in the business. A high

proprietary ratio will indicate a relatively little danger to creditors etc., in the event

of forced reorganization or winding up of the company. A low proprietary ratio

indicates greater risk to the creditors since in the event of loss a part of their

money may be lost besides loss to the proprietors of the business. A ratio below

50% may be alarming for the creditors since they may have to loose heavily in the

event of company’s liquidation on the account of heavy losses.

The Profitability Ratios

The Profitability Ratios measures the profitability or the operational efficiency of

the firm. There are two groups of persons who may be specifically interested in the

analysis of the profitability of the firm. These are:

The management, which is interested in the overall profitability &

operational efficiency of the firm.

58

The equity shareholders who are interested in the ultimate returns available

to them.

Both of these parties and any other party such as creditors can measure the

profitability of the firm in terms of the profitability ratios, broadly, the profitability

ratios are calculated by relating the returns with the: -

Sales of the firm

Assets of the firm

Owner’s contribution

A.) Profitability Ratios Based On Sales Of The Firm : -Profit is a factor of

sales & is earned indirectly as a part of the sales revenue. So, whenever

a firm makes sale, it earns profit (in general). But How Much? How the

Total Sales Revenue is going to be used for meeting the cost o goods

sold, deprecation, indirect expenses, tax liability & return to

shareholders etc. All this & other aspects can be analyzed with the help

of profitability ratios.

The profitability ratios based on sales can be further divided into:

PROFIT MARGIN RATIOS

The profit margin refers to the profit contributed by per rupee of sales revenue

& therefore, the profit margin ratios measure the relationship between the profit

& the sales.

Different profit margin ratios have been suggested as follows:

59

1) Gross Profit Ratios (GP Ratio) : The GP ratio is calculated by

comparing GP of the firm with the net sales as follows:

Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit / Net Sales)*100

For e.g., if the GP Ratio of a firm comes out to be 30% this means that on every 1-

rupee sale, the firm is earning a gross profit of 30 paise.

SIGNIFICANCE:

GP Ratio is a reliable guide to the adequacy of selling prices & efficiency of trading

activities. This ratio should be adequate to cover the Administrative & Marketing

expenses & to provide for fixed charges, dividends & building up of reserves.

Higher the GP Ratio, the better it is. When GP Ratio is studied as a time series, it

may give the increasing or decreasing trend & hence an idea of the level of

operating efficiency of the firm. For a single year, the GP Ratio may not indicate

much about the efficiency level of the firm.

2) Net Profit Ratio (NP Ratio) :- The NP Ratio establishes the relationship

between the net profit (after tax) of the firm & the net sales & may be

calculated as follows:

Net Profit Ratio = {Profit (after tax) / Net Sales}*100

The NP Ratio measures the efficiency of the management in generating additional

revenue over & above the total cost of operations, the NP Ratio shows the overall

efficiency in Manufacturing, Administrative, Selling & distributing the product.

60

SIGNIFICANCE:

The NP Ratio is worked out to determine the overall efficiency of the business.

Higher the NP Ratio, the better the business. An increase in the ratio over the

previous period shows improvement in the operational efficiency.

3) Operating Profit Ratio (OP Ratio) : The operating profit refers to the

pure operating profit of the firm i.e. the profit generated by the operation

of the firm & hence is calculated before considering any financial charge

(such as interest payment), non operating income / loss & tax liabilities

etc.


OP Ratio = (Operating Profit / Net Sales)*100

SIGNIFICANCE:

The OP Ratio shows the percentage of pure profit earned on every 1rupee of

sales made. The OP Ratio will be less then the GP Ratio as the indirect expenses

such as general & administrative expenses; selling expenses & depreciation

charge etc. are deducted from the GP to arrive at the operating profits. The OP

Ratio measures the efficiency with which the firm not only manufactures the goods

but also sells the goods. Higher the ratio better is the profitability of the business.

4.) Operating Ratio: - This ratio measures the extent of cost incurred for

making the sale.


Operating Ratio = (Cost Of Goods Sold + Operating

Expenses / Net Sales)*100

61

Operating Ratio plus net profit ratio is 100 i.e. the two ratios are interrelated. For

e.g. if the NP Ratio is 15%, it means that the Operating ratio is 85%. A rise in

operating ratio indicates decline in efficiency. Lower the ratio, the better it is.

SIGNIFICANCE:

Operating ratio is the test of operational efficiency of the business. It shows the

percentage of sales that is absorbed by the cost of sales & operating expenses,

lower the operating ratio, the better it is, because it would leave higher margin to

meet interest, dividend etc. thus, operating ratio helps us to determine whether the

cost content has increased or decreased in the figure of sales & also helps us to

determine which element of the cost has gone up or down.

EXPENSE RATIOS

Expense ratios are calculated to ascertain the relationship that exists between

operating expense &volume of sales. The ratios are calculated by dividing the

sales into each individual operating expense. It indicates the portion of sales,

which is consumed by the various operating expenses.

62

Some of the important expense ratios are calculated as follows:

1.) Ratio of Material Used To Sale : -

Direct Material Cost To Sales = (Direct Material

Cost / Net Sales)*100

2.) Ratio Of Labour To Sales : -

Direct Labour Cost To Sales = (Direct Labour Cost

/ Net Sales)*100

3.) Ratio Of Factory Expenses To Sale : -

Factory Expenses To Sales = (Factory Expenses

/ Net Sales)*100

63

4.) Ratio Of Office & Administration Expenses To Sales : -

Office & Administration Expenses To Sales = (O & Expenses

/ Net Sales)*100

5.) Ratio Of Selling & Distribution Expenses To Sales : -

S & D Expenses To Sales = (S & D Expenses / Net Sales)*100

SIGNIFICANCE:

The expense ratios are the measure of cost control. If the expense ratios of a

business continue to increase over a period of successive years, then it is a cause

for the management to have deeper look into that matter, lower the ratio the better

it is for the firm.

64

PROFITABILITY RATIOS BASED ON INVESTMENTS / ASSETS.

The profitability of the firm can be analyzed with reference to assets employed

to earn a return. It can also be analyzed with reference to profit earned per

rupee of investment made in the firm. There are two important profitability

ratios based on assets / investment of the firm.

1.) Return on Assets : - The ROA measures the profitability of the firm in

terms of assets employed in the firm. The ROA is calculated by

establishing the relationship between the profits & the assets employed to

earn the profits.


ROA = (Net Profit after Tax / Total Assets)*100

The ROA shows as to how much is the profit earned by the firm per rupee of

assets used.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The ROA measures the overall efficiency of the management in generating profits,

given a given level of assets at its disposal. The ROA essentially relates the profit

to the size of the firm (which is measured in terms of the assets). If a firm

increases its size but is unable to increase its profits proportionately, then the ROA

65

will decrease. In such a case increasing the size of assets i.e. the size of the firm

will not by itself advance the financial welfare of the owners.

2.) Return On Capital Or Return On Investment (ROI) : - The sources used

by the business consist of both proprietors (shareholders) funds and loans.

The overall performance can be judged by working out a ratio between

profit earned and capital employed. The resultant ratio usually expressed

as a percentage is called ROI. The purpose is to ascertain how much

income the use of Rs.100 of capital generates.


ROI = (Profit Before interest Tax and dividend /

Capital Employed)*100

SIGNIFICANCE:

ROI judges the overall performance of the concern. It measures how efficiently the

sources entrusted to the business are being used. In other words what is the

earning power of the net assets of the business? The ROI is a fair measure of the

profitability of any concern with the result that even the results of dissimilar

industries may be compared.

66

PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF OWNERS.

Ultimately the profit of the firm belongs to the owners who have invested their

funds in the form of equity share capital or preference share capital or retained

earning. Therefore, the profits of the firm should be analyzed from the point of view

of the owners. As a matter of fact, the net profit after tax belongs to the

shareholders. The profitability of the firm can be analyzed from the point of view of

owner’s funds in different prospective as follows:

1.) Return on equity (ROE) : The ROE examines profitability from the

perspective of the equity investors by relating profit available for the equity

shareholders with the book value of equity investment.


ROE ={(Net Profit – Preference dividend) / Equity

Shareholder’s Fund}*100

SIGNIFICANCE:

The ROE relates the profit available to equity shareholders. This ratio is used to

compare the performance of the company’s equity capital with that of other

companies, which are alike in equity. The investor will favor the company with

higher ROE.

2.) Earning Per Share (EPS) : - The profitability of the firm can also be

measured in terms of number of equity shares. This is known as EPS and

is calculated as follows:

67

EPS = (Net Profit – Preference dividend) / No. Of

Equity Share

The EPS calculation in a time series analysis indicates whether the firms EPS is

increasing or decreasing.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The more the earning per share better are the performance and the prospects

profit of the company.

3.) Dividend Per Share (DPS ) : Some times the equity shareholders may not

be interested in the EPS but in the return which they are actually receiving

from the firm in the form of dividends. The amount of profit distributed to

shareholders per share is known as DPS and is calculated as follows:

DPS = (Total Profit Distributed) / No. Of

Equity Share

4.) Dividend Pay Out Ratio (DP Ratio) : The DP Ratio is the ratio between

the DPS and EPS of the firm i.e. it refers to the proportion to the EPS

which has been distributed by the company as dividends.

DP Ratio = (DPS / EPS)*100
