6. Financial Ratio Analysis
Financial ratios are mathematical comparisons of financial statement accounts or
categories. These relationships between the financial statement accounts help investors,
creditors, and internal Organization management understand how well a business is
performing and areas of needing improvement.
Financial ratios are the most common and widespread tools used to analyze a business'
financial standing. Ratios are easy to understand and simple to compute. They can also be
used to compare different companies in different industries. Since a ratio is simply a
mathematically comparison based on proportions, big and small companies can be use
ratios to compare their financial information. In a sense, financial ratios don't take into
consideration the size of an Organization or the industry. Ratios are just a raw
computation of financial position and performance.
Ratios allow us to compare companies across industries, big and small, to identify
their strengths and weaknesses. Financial ratios are often divided up into seven main
categories: liquidity, solvency, efficiency, profitability, market prospect, investment
leverage, and coverage.
Financial ratio
Liquidity ratio
Profitability ratio
Solvency ratio
7. Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios analyze the ability of an Organization to pay off both its current liabilities
as they become due as well as their long-term liabilities as they become current. In other
words, these ratios show the cash levels of an Organization and the ability to turn other
assets into cash to pay off liabilities and other current obligations.
Liquidity is not only a measure of how much cash a business has. It is also a measure of
how easy it will be for the Organization to raise enough cash or convert assets into cash.
Assets like accounts receivable, trading securities, and inventory are relatively easy for
many companies to convert into cash in the short term. Thus, these assets go into the
liquidity calculation of an Organization.
Here are the most common liquidity ratios.
Quick Ratio
Acid Test Ratio
Current Ratio
Working Capital
Working Capital Ratio
Times Interest Earned Ratio
8. Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios compare income statement accounts and categories to show an
Organization's ability to generate profits from its operations. Profitability ratios focus on
an Organization's return on investment in inventory and other assets. These ratios
basically show how good companies can achieve profits from their operations.
Investors and creditors can use profitability ratios to judge an Organization's return on
investment based on its relative level of resources and assets. In other words, profitability
ratios can be used to judge whether companies are making enough operational profit from
their assets. In this sense, profitability ratios relate to efficiency ratios because they show
how good companies are using their assets to generate profits. Profitability is also
important to the concept of solvency and going concern.
Here are some of the key ratios that investors and creditors consider when judging how
profitable an Organization should be:
Gross Margin Ratio
Profit Margin
Return on Assets
Return on Capital Employed
Return on Equity
9. Solvency Ratios
Solvency ratios, also called leverage ratios, measure an Organization's ability to sustain
operations indefinitely by comparing debt levels with equity, assets, and earnings. In
other words, solvency ratios identify going concern issues and a firm's ability to pay its
bills in the long term. Many people confuse solvency ratios with liquidity ratios.
Although they both measure the ability of an Organization to pay off its obligations,
solvency ratios focus more on the long-term sustainability of an Organization instead of
the current liability payments.
Solvency ratios show an Organization's ability to make payments and pay off its long-
term obligations to creditors, bondholders, and banks. Better solvency ratios indicate a
more creditworthy and financially sound Organization in the long-term.
The most common solvency ratios include
Debt to Equity Ratio
Equity Ratio
Debt Ratio

14. ResearchMethodology
Research methodology is a methodology for collecting all sort of information and
data pertaining to the subject in question. The objective is to examine all the issues
involved and conduct situational analysis. The methodology includes the overall research
design, sampling, procedure and fieldwork done. The methodology used in the study
consistent of sample survey using both primary and secondary data. The primary data has
been collected with the questionnaire as well as personal observation book, magazine;
journals have been referred for secondary data. The questionnaire has been drafted and
presented by the researcher himself.
Definition of ResearchMethodology
“The process used to collect information and data for making business decisions. The
methodology may include publication research, interview, survey and other research
techniques, and could include both present and historical information.”
In simple terms methodology, can be defined as, it is used to give a clear-cut idea
on what the researcher is carrying out his or her research. To plan in a right point of time
and to advance the research work methodology makes the right platform to the
researcher to mapping out the research work in relevance to make solid plans.
More over methodology guides the researcher to involve and to be active in his or
her field of enquiry. Most of the situations the aim of the research and the research topic
won’t be same at all time it varies from its objectives and flow of the research but by
adopting a suitable methodology this can be achieved.
On the other hand, from the methodology the internal environment constitutes by
understanding and identifying the right type of research, strategy, philosophy, time
horizon, approaches, followed by right procedures and techniques based on his or her
research work. In other hand the research methodology acts as the nerve center because
the entire research is bounded by it and to perform a good research work, the internal and
external environment must follow the right methodology process.
Types of Research:
Descriptive Research
ExploratoryResearch

DATA COLLECTION
Collection of data is done by different sources, i.e. –
Research Types :- Descriptive Research
SSeeccoonnddaarryy DDaattaa
Secondary data is collected from various sources like – websites, Magazines,
Newspapers, Journals, Reports, and Books etc.
Secondary data is the data which is not collected from primary source, means
Secondary data is the data that have been already collected by and readily available from
other sources. Such data are cheaper and more quickly obtainable than the primary data
and may be available when primary data cannot be obtained at all.
Limitation of Study
There is no activity that can be completed without any limitation. The main limitations
faced during the preparation of this project report are: -
Time available for the completion of the project is very short; hence much
information could not be undertaken.
The information collected through secondary data. Some of the information might
be wrong, misunderstood and typically described (can’t be understand by
students).
There are very huge areas covered by VVNNSS ggrroouupp ooff IInnssttiittuuttiioonn so it is not
possible to analyze all the data.
Cooperation with the employees of the organization is very important while
collecting data for the project work, so there is a little bit of problem faced by me
for collecting the data.
21. Liquidity Ratios
1. Current Ratio =
Current Assets
Current Liabilities
Current Assets =
Cash in hand, bank, Short Term Investments, Bills Receivable, Sundry Debtors, Stock,
Work in Progress, Prepaid Expenses etc.
Current Liabilities =
Outstanding Expenses, Creditors, Bills Payable, Long term Loans, Income Tax Payable,
Dividend payable, Bank OD (If Permanent)
Ideal Ratio is 2:1
For 2009
1753.54 = 1.38: 1
1265.88
For 2010
2349.84 = 1.53: 1
1534.63
For 2011
2880.05 =1.76: 1
1634.38
For 2012
3617.11 = 2.10: 1
1717.06
For 2013
3807.86 = 1.89: 1
2013.13
22. Interpretation
Current ratio is a measure of liquidity of a Organization at a certain date. It must be
analyzed in the context of the industry the Organization primarily relates to. The
underlying trend of the ratio must also be monitored over a period of time
In VNS group of Institution India I analyze that the current ratios of different 5 years are
very close to the ideal current ratio i.e. 2:1 which was the good sign for the organization.

1717.06
For 2013
3259.36 = 1.61: 1
2013.13
24. Interpretation
Quick ratio is considered a more reliable test of short-term solvency than current ratio
because it shows the ability of the business to pay short term debts immediately.
As we seen in the VNS group of Institution India the ratios are quite close enough to the
ideal condition 1:1 and it indicates that the organization maintain its liquidity for paying
short term debts.

For 2013
1343.83 = 0.66: 1
2013.13
26. Interpretation
Cash position ratios are calculated to compare the proportion of cash and short term
investments with the current liabilities.
As we seen in the financial analysis of VNS group of Institution India we realize that they
were in the fine condition. Because all ratios of different years are close to the ideal
condition i.e. 1:2.

2510.31
For 2013
7135.30 = 2.47: 1
2886.83
28. Interpretation
The fixed asset turnover ratio is the ratio of net sales to net fixed assets. A high ratio
indicates that a business is: Doing an effective job of generating sales with a relatively
small amount of fixed assets A low ratio indicates that a business: Is overinvested in
fixed assets.
But in VNS group of Institution it is not in well condition

427.66
For 2013
5397.33 = 10.81 times
499.05
30. Interpretation
A low inventory turnover ratio is a signal of inefficiency, since inventory usually has a
rate of return of zero. It also implies either poor sales or excess inventory. A low turnover
rate can indicate poor liquidity, possible overstocking, and obsolescence, but it may also
reflect a planned inventory buildup in the case of material shortages or in anticipation of
rapidly rising prices.
A high inventory turnover ratio implies either strong sales or ineffective buying (the
Organization buys too often in small quantities, therefore the buying price is higher).A
high inventory turnover ratio can indicate better liquidity, but it can also indicate a
shortage or inadequate inventory levels, which may lead to a loss in business. But in VNS
group of Institution India it not very high it is generally low.

32. Interpretation
Generally, a high working capital turnover ratio is better. A low ratio indicates inefficient
utilization of working capital. The ratio should be carefully interpreted because a very
high ratio may be a sign of insufficient working capital. And in VNS group of Institution
India it is well condition.

6568.02
For 2013
1485.66 * 100 = 20.82 %
7135.30
34. Interpretation
Gross profit is very important for any business. It should be sufficient to cover all
expenses and provide for profit. There is no norm or standard to interpret gross profit
ratio (GP ratio). Generally, a higher ratio is considered better. And in VNS group of
Institution it is high that means the better condition for the organization.

expenses. A lower ratio means more profitability and a higher ratio means less
profitability. And it is quite good condition of manufacturing expenses in VNS group of
Institution. It means they were not incurred huge expenses.

40. Conclusion
Financial Analysis plays a very important role in providing facts and figures for
the decision makers. In the same way ratios, will act analysis kit in the hands of financial
analyst, these ratios will help is and in answering the basic question like why, how what
of these statements.
Now a day’s financial analysis in very much in consideration for decision making,
in deciding what to do and what not to do are required to analyze the data as per their
requirements. Thus, in my project I try brief outline of ratio analysis i.e. how to analyze
the facts and figures given in the financial statements.
Throughout my project, I have analyzed Organization’s financial position and
pros and cons of the situations and I have also interpreted the data. Despite some
limitation, I try to analyze and interpreted the facts and figures with accuracy.
Based on the analysis and interpretation I tried to give my findings and
suggestions for the Organization as per my best knowledge.
Finally, project really helps me in knowing the practical things of the corporate
world. Really, I enjoyed this project work in its real spirit.
41. Suggestions and Recommendations
The Organization should adopt new technology to reduce cost.
The Organization shoed connect weekly meeting for the valuation of
performance.
The Organization is in a good condition but they can also make it better.
Along with their new product and its distribution the Organization also must their
employee and make them more benefits
Organization should maintain its good relations with the customers and suppliers
of different region
Organization should work based on ethics and do not hurt the any religion by their false
advertisements and any other conditions
