PROFITABILITY RATIOS

Profitability is an indication of the efficiency with which the operations of the business
are carried on. Poor operational performance may indicate poor sales and hence poor profits.a
lower profitability may arise due to the lack of control over the expenses.bankers, financial
institutions and other creditors look at the profitability ratios as an indicator whether or not the
firm earns substantially more than it pays interest for the use of borrowed funds and whether the
ultimate repayment of their debt appears reasonably certain.

The following are the important profitability ratios:


Over All Profitability Ratio

It is also called as” return on investment”(ROI) or” return on capital employed(ROCE). It


indicates the percentage of return on the total capital employed in the business. It is calculated in
the basis of the following formula:

Operating Profit

Capital Employed 179641.02 284704.04 335278.2
Over All Profitability Ratio 22.97 % 28.62 % 21.20 %

Capital employed = capital + reserves and surplus + secured loans + unsecured loans

employed gets highly deviated from year to year. In 2008, 22.97% of return on the total capital

Financial ratios :

Financial ratios indicate about the financial position of the company. A company is deemed to be
financially sound if it is in a position to carry on its business smoothly and meet its
obligations,both short-term as well as long term,without the strain. It is a sound principle of
finance that the short term requirements of funds should be met out of short term funds and long
term requirements should be met out of long term funds.

Financial ratios can be divided into two broad categories:


1) liquidity ratio

2) stability ratio

liquidity ratio:

these ratios are also termed as ‘working capital” or “short term solvency ratios.”an
enterprise must have adequate working capital to run its day to day operations.the important
liquidity ratios are as follows:

Current Ratio

This ratio is an indicator of the firms commitment to meet its short-term liabilities.An
ideal ratio is 2. It is expressed as follows:

Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities
Years 2007 - 2008 2008 - 2009 2009- 2010
Current Assets 162776.91 372638.62 336223.88
Current Liabilities 83561.79 175502.51 95235.04
Current Ratio 1.9 :1 2.1:1 3.5:1

Interpretation

It is to be noted that current ratio is 1.9 ,2.1 and 3.5 in 2008,2009 and 2010 respectively.
It is considered as a safe margin to solvency as an ideal ratio is 2 .in the year 2010, ratio has been
increased may be due to excessive dependence on long term sources of raising funds which may
lead to lower the profit in future.

Quick ratio

This ratio is also termed as “acid test ratio” or liquidity ratio”.this ratio os ascertained by
comparing the liquid assets to current liabilities. Prepaid expenses and stock are not taken as
liquid assets.the ideal ratio is 1.It is an indicator of short-term solvency of the company.

Liquid Assets
Quick Ratio =
Current Liabilities
YEAR 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010
Liquid Assets 16890.59 132611.4 181252.9
Current Liabilities 83561.79 175502.5 95235.04
Liquidity Ratio 0.20 0.76 1.90

Interpretation

It is shown above that the company is able to meet out the short term solvency in 2010
when compared to previous year as the ratio was below the ideal ratio 1.

Super Quick Ratio

This is a variation of quick ratio. The ratio is calculated as follows:

Cash and bank balances


super quick Ratio =
Current Liabilities
year 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010
cash and bank balances 6631.64 34149.28 80985.86
current liabilities 83561.79 175502.5 95235.04
super quick ratio 0.1 0.19 0.85

Interpretation

year ,it may meet the short term solvency as a part but not the whole due to cash and bank
balances are lower than the current liabilities .

Stability ratios

assets requirements. The ideal ratio is 1 and should not be more than 1.It is expressed as follows:

Fixed assets

Fixed Assets 73538.9 79183.6 81731.5
Long Term Funds 79443.5 112714.1 143498.8
Fixed Assets Ratio 0.93 0.70 0.57

Interpretation

a part of the working capital has been financed through long term funds as the ratio is less than
1.Thus,the company has adequate long term funds to meet its fixed assets requirements.

Share Holders Funds 79443.5 112714.1 143498.8
Total Tangible Assets 271449.5 468153.3 439060
Proprietory Ratio 0.29 0.24 0.33

the creditors of the company. So the company is advised to raise funds in order to prevent the
creditors from risk.
