LITERATURE REVIEW
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK RESEARCH METHODOLOGY FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT RATIO ANALYSIS FINDING SUGGESTIONS FUTURE PLAN CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY ANNETURE
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Meaning and Definition of Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.
1.2Need of Ratio Analysis Financial ratio analysis is a fascinating topic to study because it can teach us so much about accounts and businesses. When we use ratio analysis we can work out how profitable a business is, we can tell if it has enough money to pay its bills and we can even tell whether its shareholders should be happy!
Ratio analysis can also help us to check whether a business is doing better this year than it was last year; and it can tell us if our business is doing better or worse than other businesses doing and selling the same things.
In addition to ratio analysis being part of an accounting and business studies syllabus, it is a very useful thing to know anyway!
The overall layout of this section is as follows: We will begin by asking the question, What do we want ratio analysis to tell us? Then, what will we try to do with it? This is the most important question, funnily enough! The answer to that question then means we need to make a list of all of the ratios we might use: we will list them and give the formula for each of them.
Once we have discovered all of the ratios that we can use we need to know how to use them, who might use them and what for and how will it help them to answer the question we asked at the beginning?
At this stage we will have an overall picture of what ratio analysis is, who uses it and the ratios they need to be able to use it. All that's left to do then is to use the ratios; and we will do that step- by-step, one by one.
By the end of this section we will have used every ratio several times and we will be experts at using and understanding what they tell us.
It helps in evaluating the firms performance With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firms assets correctly, to increase the investors wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of firms assets It helps in inter-firm comparison Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the comparison of the performance of different departments. If comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line. The information given in the basic financial statements serves no useful Purpose unless its interrupted and analyzed in some comparable terms. The ratio analysis is one of the tools in the hands of those who want to know something more from the financial statements in the simplified manner. It helps in determining the financial position of the concern Ratio analysis facilitates the management to know whether the firms financial position is improving or deteriorating or is

constant over the years by setting a trend with the help of ratios The analysis with the help of ratio analysis can know the direction of the trend of strategic ratio may help the management in the task of planning, forecasting and controlling.
It is helpful in budgeting and forecasting Accounting ratios provide a reliable data, which can be compared, studied and analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for future prospectus. The ratios can also serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future line of action.
Liquidity position: With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding the Liquidity position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory if it is able to meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met short term liabilities is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm.
Long term solvency: Ratio analysis is equally for assessing the long term financial ability of the Firm. The long term solvency is measured by the leverage or capital structure and profitability ratio which shows the earning power and operating efficiency, Solvency ratio shows relationship between total liability and total assets.
Operating efficiency: Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View point of management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.
1. The study has great significance and provides benefits to various parties whom directly or indirectly interact with the company. 2. It is beneficial to management of the company by providing crystal clear picture regarding important aspects like liquidity, leverage, activity and profitability. 3. The study is also beneficial to employees and offers motivation by showing how actively they are contributing for companys growth. 4. The investors who are interested in investing in the companys shares will also get benefited by going through the study and can easily take a decision whether to invest or not to invest in the companys shares.

For more than two decades, Atul Group is renowned as leading manufacturer of threewheeled commercial vehicles in the state of Gujarat. From common peoples favorite vehicle CHHAKADA to todays SHAKTI Atul Group had come a long way.
Back in the 1970s when transportation was a crucial problem especially in rural areas, Jagjivanbhai Karsanbhai Chandra decided to blaze a new trail. He was thinking of an affordable mode of transportation which can benefit rural folks of Saurashtra. The road conditions research and planning , he came up with a vehicle which was skillfully engineered from a motorcycle. And this is how the fist chhakada was developed which later became a way oflife for the people of Saurashtra. The improvements in technologies were done from time to time to make it a sturdy and comfortable vehicle. The company will set up second plant in the next two years. Currently Atul Auto dishes out 16 models of its vehicles from its only factory in Rajkot which produces 24000 units per year. The company has upcoming launches of CNG and LPG variants by 2010 end targets to double the Rajkot plant capacity by 2012. It projects a six to seven percent market share by end-this fiscal.

All major players are trying to tap demand for India-made three-wheelers in Egypt, Sudan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia and Kenya. Our medium term target is to sell an equal number of three-wheelers in the domestic and export market, said Mr Kedia. In 2009, the company had a one-time export order of 4,500 units to Nigeria. Atul reported a net profit of Rs 4.2 crore profit on a Rs 120-crore turnover last fiscal. Its scrip has been trading in the Rs 110-116 range on the BSE.

CHAPTER-5
LITERATURE REVIEW
If you happen to be on the roads of Saurashtra in Gujarat, it is very likely that you will come across a three-wheeler called 'Khusbu Chakkdo'.
There are more than 100,000 of these quaint vehicles serving as a means of livelihood for numerous families, and thus contributing to the economic development of the region.
By manufacturing this multi-utility vehicle in fact, by identifying the necessity for such a vehicle and fulfilling it the manufacturer of this vehicle has played an important role in the regionsprogress.
This Rajkot-based manufacturer Atul Auto Limited is today an established name in the motorised transportation in Gujarat. Presently, it manufactures many variants of the threewheeler vehicle. Though today Atul Auto is a listed company (worth Rs 168 crore), it started small - with an initial capital of Rs 2000 only.
There's no doubt that the SME sector forms an important component of any emerging economy and companies like Atul Auto exemplify this fact in the Indian context. "...It is impossible to downplay the role of SMEs in India's economic development," says Hiren Doshi, Dy GM (Finance), Atul Auto Limited. One look at the statistics and you know that he is absolutely right.
"SMEs generally account for a bulk of the nation's commercial activities and they act as catalysts in upholding and encouraging the creation of the innovative spirit and entrepreneurship in the economy, thereby helping in laying the foundation for rapid industrial development," says Mr Doshi elaborating on the role of SMEs in the overall economic scenario. Importantly, SMEs are also one of the biggest generators of employment in a country like India.
Its true that the SME sector is being encouraged by the government as well as by many banks.
Summer Internship Report-IMI 33
In fact in the context of companies like Atul Auto the government is also currently encouraging the auto industry through a policy framework. The aim is to project India as an attractive destination for small cars and auto components manufacturing.
This has been proving quite beneficial for the SMEs in the auto sector, particularly the ones into auto components manufacturing. But, despite an atmosphere conducive to growth, the SMEs in the country also have to face certain challenges.
Mr Doshi enumerates some of the key challenges. According to him, these include nonavailability of adequate capital for investment, difficulty in accessing the capital market, inadequate institutional framework for assistance, terms dictated by the large corporates on whom the SMEs depend and so on.
Since many SMEs in the country are family run, reluctance in changing the methods of functioning is also a major issue in many cases says Mr Doshi. Though quite a few SMEs have adopted technological advancements, technology adoption still remains a chief concern for many others.
And how can the SMEs overcome the challenges? "Incentivise the SMEs on technical upgradation or assist them in to various technical tie-ups/collaboration," says Mr Doshi.
According to him, SMEs should also get financial assistance at concessional or reduced rate of interest as compared to others. Also, he feels, it is important to help SMEs for exports and in easy availability of raw material in domestic as well as in case of imports.
With a little help, the SMEs could really bring about an economic transformation. It is essential to note that as Mr Doshi also says SMEs are the fastest to adopt changes and innovations. They assist in creation of new industries and also facilitate competition in the market.
Innovation keeping in mind the market demands is very necessary to maintain a competitive edge in any market. For example, Atul Auto has a full-fledged R&D department run by qualified
Summer Internship Report-IMI 34
personnel. It upgrades its products as per the market requirement, subject to the performance of the vehicle.
"We are consistently in the process of giving better products to the end-user. Market studies confirm that our products perform better than those of our peers in terms of mileage, price, maintenance and so on. The company has successfully launched the petrol/CNG/LPG vehicles in the market," informs Mr Doshi.
Having established itself in Gujarat, Atul Auto is now ready to venture into other territories. It is a commendable achievement having started on a very small scale. It also encapsulates the spirit and craving for growth among Indian SMEs

6.1 Classification of Ratios Different ratios are used for different purposes; these ratios can be grouped into various classes according to the financial activity. Ratios are classified into four broad categories. 6.1.1ProfitabilityRatio 6.1.2EfficiancyRatio 6.1.3LiquidityRatio 6.1.4Stability Ratio 6.1.5Investor Ratio
6.1.1 Profitability Ratio A class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a specific period of time. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.
Some examples of profitability ratios are profit margin, return on assets and return on equity. It is important to note that a little bit of background knowledge is necessary in order to make relevant comparisons when analyzing these ratios.
These ratios tell us whether a business is making profits-and if so whether at an acceptable rate. The key ratios are:
Summer Internship Report-IMI 36
(1)Gross Profit Margin [Gross Profit / Revenue] x 100 (expressed as a percentage) This ratio tells us something about the business's ability consistently to control its production costs or to manage the margins its makes on products its buys and sells. Whilst sales value and volumes may move up and down significantly, the gross profit margin is usually quite stable (in percentage terms). However, a small increase (or decrease) in profit margin, however caused can produce a substantial change in overall profits.
Assuming a constant gross profit margin, the operating profit margin tells us something about a company's ability to control its other operating costs or overheads.
Net profit before tax, interest and dividends ("EBIT") / total assets (or total assets less current liabilities
ROCE is sometimes referred to as the "primary ratio"; it tells us what returns management has made on the resources made available to them before making any distribution of those returns.
37
6.1.2 Efficiency Ratios Ratios that are typically used to analyze how well a company uses its assets and liabilities internally. Efficiency Ratios can calculate the turnover of receivables, the repayment of liabilities, the quantity and usage of equity and the general use of inventory and machinery. Some common ratios are accounts receivable turnover, fixed asset turnover, sales to inventory, sales to net working capital, accounts payable to sales and stock turnover ratio. These ratios are meaningful when compared to peers in the same industry and can identify business that are better managed relative to the others. Also, efficiency ratios are important because an improvement in the ratios usually translate to improved profitability.
These ratios give us an insight into how efficiently the business is employing those resources invested in fixed assets and working capital.
(1)Sales/Capital Employed Sales / Capital employed A measure of total asset utilization. Helps to answer the question - what sales are being generated by each pound's worth of assets invested in the business. Note, when combined with the return on sales (see above) it generates the primary ratio - ROCE.
(2)Stock turnover Cost of Sales / Average Stock Value Stock turnover helps answer questions such as "have we got too much money tied up in inventory"?. An increasing stock turnover figure or one which is much larger than the "average" for an industry, may indicate poor stock management.
Summer Internship Report-IMI 38
(3)Credit given/ Debtor Days (Trade debtors (average, if possible) / (Sales)) x 365 The "debtor days" ratio indicates whether debtors are being allowed excessive credit. A high figure (more than the industry average) may suggest general problems with debt collection or the financial position of major customers. (4)Credit taken/ Creditor Days ((Trade creditors + accruals) / (cost of sales + other purchases)) x 365 A similar calculation to that for debtors, giving an insight into whether a business it taking full advantage of trade credit available to it.
39
A class of financial metrics that is used to determine a company's ability to pay off its shortterms debts obligations. Generally, the higher the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that the company possesses to cover short-term debts.
Common liquidity ratios include the current ratio, the quick ratio and the operating cash flow ratio. Different analysts consider different assets to be relevant in calculating liquidity. Some analysts will calculate only the sum of cash and equivalents divided by current liabilities because they feel that they are the most liquid assets, and would be the most likely to be used to cover short-term debts in an emergency.
A company's ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment. Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going concern.
(1)Current Ratio Current Assets / Current Liabilities A simple measure that estimates whether the business can pay debts due within one year from assets that it expects to turn into cash within that year. A ratio of less than one is often a cause for concern, particularly if it persists for any length of time.
40
(2)Quick Ratio Cash and near cash (short-term investments + trade debtors)
Not all assets can be turned into cash quickly or easily. Some - notably raw materials and other stocks - must first be turned into final product, then sold and the cash collected from debtors. The Quick Ratio therefore adjusts the Current Ratio to eliminate all assets that are not already in cash (or "near-cash") form. Once again, a ratio of less than one would start to send out danger signals.
6.1.4Stability Ratio These ratios concentrate on the long0term health of a business particularly the effect of the capital/finance structure on the business:
(1)Gearing Borrowing (all long-term debts + normal overdraft) / Net Assets (or Shareholders' Funds)
Gearing (otherwise known as "leverage") measures the proportion of assets invested in a business that are financed by borrowing. In theory, the higher the level of borrowing (gearing) the higher are the risks to a business, since the payment of interest and repayment of debts are not "optional" in the same way as dividends. However, gearing can be a financially sound part of a business's capital structure particularly if the business has strong, predictable cash flows.

This measures the ability of the business to "service" its debt. Are profits sufficient to be able to pay interest and other finance costs?
6.1.5Investor Ratio There are several ratios commonly used by investors to assess the performance of a business as an investment:
(1)Earnings per Share Earnings (profits) attributable to ordinary shareholders / Weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the year A requirement of the London Stock Exchange - an important ratio. EPS measures the overall profit generated for each share in existence over a particular period.
(2)Price Earnings Ratio Market price of share / Earnings per Share At any time, the P/E ratio is an indication of how highly the market "rates" or "values" a business. A P/E ratio is best viewed in the context of a sector or market average to get a feel for relative value and stock market pricing.
42
(3)Dividend Yield (Latest dividend per ordinary share / current market price of share) x 100 This is known as the "payout ratio". It provides a guide as to the ability of a business to maintain a dividend payment. It also measures the proportion of earnings that are being retained by the business rather than distributed as dividends.

Finance is the life blood of business. Funds have to be procedure from different sources such as rising of capital through new issues, bank borrowings, term loans from finance institutions, sales of debentures and so on. Business house have sell on credit and on the other hand it has to pay expenses of business in cash. There are many different ways to procure shot term and long term loans.
Atul Auto Ltd. has adopted very simple way to procure both short and long term funds.
LONG TERM FUNDS: For long term funds, Atul Auto Ltd. depends on the retained profits, long term loan from bank and mainly on the equity capital.
47
SHORT TERM FUNDS: The objective behind procurement of short term fund is to meet day-to-day business needs as working capital. Short term fund is more important as far as day-to-day business in concern. Atul Auto Ltd. satisfies its needs of short term funds through short term loans from bank and other financial instruction.
8.4CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital budgeting is a process of making decision regarding loan term investment in fixed asset, such as land building, machinery or furniture, which is not meant for sales. A capital expenditure involves a huge investment in fixed assets.
Capital budgeting decisions are to paramount importance in financial decision making. The system of capital budgeting is likely to produce benefits over a period of time longer than one year. These benefits may be either in the form of increased revenues or reduces costs. There are various techniques or proposals, Atul Auto Ltd. has chosen pay back method for capital budgeting purpose implementing expansion loan. This expansion loan includes setting up additional capacity to manufacture diesel three wheelers Auto rickshaw; pick up van and CNG auto rickshaw.
Working capital is defined as the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Working capital is that part of capital which is required to meet the day-to-day needs in running the business. It is also known as revolving or circulating capital.
48
Working capital management is significant in financial management due to the fact that it plays a pivotal role in keeping the wheels of business enterprise running. Shortage of funds for working capital has caused many businesses to fail or has retarded their growth. Lack of efficient and effective utilization of working capital leads to earn low rate of return on capital employed or even compels to sustain losses. Working capita= current assets current liabilities
Cash management is one of the key areas of working capital management. Cash is the common denominator to which all current assets can be reduced because the other major liquid assets, that is, receivables and inventory get eventually converted into cash. This underlines the significance of cash management.
The term cash with reference to cash management is used in two senses. In a narrow sense it is used broadly to cover and generally accepted equivalents of cash, such as cheques, drafts and demand deposits in banks. The broad view of cash also includes near cash assets, such as marketable securities and time deposits in banks.

CHAPTER-9 RATIO ANALYSIS FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm and establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit & loss account.
Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios, which are derived from the information in a companys financial statements. The level and historical trends of these ratios can be used to make inferences about a companys financial condition, its operations and attractiveness as an investment. The information in the statements is used by
Trade creditors, to identify the firms ability to meet their claims i.e.liquidity position of the company. Investors, to know about the present and future profitability of the company and its financial structure. Management, in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is the responsibility of the management to maintain sound financial condition in the company.
RATIO ANALYSIS The term Ratio refers to the numerical and quantitative relationship between two items or variables. This relationship can be exposed as Percentages Fractions Proportion of numbers
Ratio analysis is defined as the systematic use of the ratio to interpret the financial statements. So that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm, as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. Ratio reflects a quantitative relationship helps to form a quantitative judgment.
Summer Internship Report-IMI 51
The first task of the financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the decision under consideration from the statements and calculates appropriate ratios.
To compare the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm
with the industry ratios. It facilitates in assessing success or failure of the firm.
Ratios are relative figures reflecting the relation between variables. They enable analyst to draw conclusions regarding financial operations. They use of ratios as a tool of financial analysis involves the comparison with related facts. This is the basis of ratio analysis. The basis of ratio analysis is of four types.
Past ratios, calculated from past financial statements of the firm. Competitors ratio, of the some most progressive and successful same point of time. Industry ratio, the industry ratios to which the firm belongs to Projected ratios, ratios of the future developed from the projected or statements pro forma financial competitor firm at the

Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decisions. It is only a means of understanding of financial strengths and weaknesses of a firm. There are a number of ratios which can be calculated from the information given in the financial statements, but the analyst has to select the appropriate data and calculate only a few appropriate ratios. The following are the four steps involved in the ratio analysis.
Comparison of the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in
developed from projected financial statements or the ratios of some other firms or the comparison with ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
The interpretation of ratios is an important factor. The inherent limitations of ratio analysis should be kept in mind while interpreting them. The impact of factors such as price level changes, change in accounting policies, window dressing etc., should also be kept in mind when attempting to interpret ratios. The interpretation of ratios can be made in the following ways. y y y y y Single absolute ratio Group of ratios Historical comparison Projected ratios Inter-firm comparison

CLASSIFICATIONS OF RATIOS The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only. There are different parties interested in the ratio analysis for knowing the financial position of a firm for different purposes. Various accounting ratios can be classified as follows: 1. Traditional Classification 2. Functional Classification 3. Significance ratios
1. Traditional Classification It includes the following. y Balance sheet (or) position statement ratio: They deal with the relationship between two balance sheet items, e.g. the ratio of current assets to current liabilities etc., both the items must, however, pertain to the same balance sheet. y Profit & loss account (or) revenue statement ratios: These ratios deal with the relationship between two profit & loss account items, e.g. the ratio of gross profit to sales etc., y Composite (or) inter statement ratios: These ratios exhibit the relation between a profit & loss account or income statement item and a balance sheet items, e.g. stock turnover ratio, or the ratio of total assets to sales.
Summer Internship Report-IMI 55
2. Functional Classification These include liquidity ratios, long term solvency and leverage ratios, activity ratios and profitability ratios.
3. Significance ratios Some ratios are important than others and the firm may classify them as primary and secondary ratios. The primary ratio is one, which is of the prime importance to a concern. The other ratios that support the primary ratio are called secondary ratios.
Long term solvency ratios These ratios measure long term solvency of the firm (A) 1. Debt-equity Ratio 2. Capital gearing Ratio. 3. Interest Coverage Ratio. 4. Proprietary Ratio 5. Debt service coverage Ratio.
Efficiency or turnover ratios These ratios indicate the degree of efficiency in utilization of various assets deployed in the firm. Various efficiency ratios are:

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligations as & when there becomes due. The short term obligations of a firm can be met only when there are sufficient liquid assets. The short term obligations are met by realizing amounts from current, floating (or) circulating assets The current assets should either be calculated liquid (or) near liquidity. They should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of short term nature. The sufficiency (or) insufficiency of current assets should be assessed by comparing them with shortterm current liabilities. If current assets can pay off current liabilities, then liquidity position will be satisfactory. To measure the liquidity of a firm the following ratios can be calculated y y Current ratio Quick (or) Acid-test (or) Liquid ratio
58
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio also known as Working capital ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis of a short-term financial position (or) liquidity of a firm.
Components of current ratio CURRENT ASSETS Cash in hand Cash at bank Bills receivable Inventories Work-in-progress Marketable securities Short-term investments Sundry debtors Prepaid expenses CURRENT LIABILITIES Out standing or accrued expenses Bank over draft Bills payable Short-term advances Sundry creditors Dividend payable Income-tax payable

Interpretation As a rule, the current ratio with 2:1 (or) more is considered as satisfactory position of the firm. When compared with 2008, there is an decrease in the provision for tax, because the debtors are raised and for that the provision is created. The current liabilities majorly included Atul Auto company for consultancy additional services. The sundry debtors have decreased due to the decrease to corporate taxes. In the year 2009, the cash and bank balance is increaced because that is not payment of dividends. In the year 2007, the loans and advances include majorly the advances to employees and deposits to government. The loans and advances reduced because the employees set off their claims. The other current assets include the interest attained from the deposits. The deposits reduced due to the declaration of dividends. So the other current assets decreased. The huge increase in sundry debtors resulted an increase in the ratio, which is above the benchmark level of 2:1 which shows the comfortable position of the firm.
(B) QUICK RATIO Quick ratio is a test of liquidity than the current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short-term obligations as & when they become due. Quick ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it is converted into cash with in a short period without loss of value.

Interpretation Quick assets are those assets which can be converted into cash with in a short period of time, say to six months. So, here the sundry debtors which are with the long period does not include in the quick assets. Compare with 2008, the Quick ratio is decreased because the sundry debtors are decreased due to the decrease in the corporate tax and for that the provision created is also decreased. So, the ratio is also decreased with the 2009.
The quick ratio for the year 2005-06 was 1.69 and it was increased by 0.65 it was 1.04 in the year 2006-07 than the quick ratio was increased by 0.068 i.e. 0.97 in 2007-08. The quick ratio was 0.92 and 0.84 in the year 2008-09 and 2009-10 respective and it was increased by 2008-09 0.04 and decreased 2009-10 0.086 respectively. We can see the ratio was maximum in the year 2005-06 and minimum in the year 2009-10.

2. ACTIVITY RATIOS Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn profits. The efficiency with which assets are managed directly effect the volume of sales. Activity ratios measure the efficiency (or) effectiveness with which a firm manages its resources (or) assets. These ratios are also called Turn over ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are converted or turned over into sales. y y y y y y Inventory Turnover Ratio Inventory Turnover Period Debtors Turnover Ration Average Collection Period Total Assets Turnover Ratio Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio
(A) Inventory Turnover Ratio Inventory turnover ratios indicate the no. of times the stock has been turned over the period and evaluate the efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory. It indicates whether the inventory is efficiently used or not. It is also known as stock turn over ratio. This can be calculated by dividing the sales by average inventory. A ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period. the

(E)Total Assets Turnover Ratio A financial ratio of net sales to fixed assets. The fixed-asset turnover ratio measures a company's ability to generate net sales from fixed-asset investments - specifically property, plant and equipment (PP&E) - net of depreciation. A higher fixed-asset turnover ratio shows that the company has been more effective in using the investment in fixed assets to generate revenues.

72
Interpretation Fixed assets are used in the business for producing the goods to be sold. This ratio shows the firms ability in generating sales from all financial resources committed to total assets. The ratio indicates the account of one rupee investment in fixed assets. The income from services is greaterly increased in the current year due to the increase in the Operations & Maintenance fee due to the increase in extra invoice and the net fixed assets are reduced because of the increased charge of depreciation. Finally, that effected a huge increase in the ratio compared with the previous years ratio. In the year 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08, ratio seeing not a good position, ratio was 4.87, 4.28, and 3.15. But more fluctuation found in the year 2008-09 and 2009-10, these time ratio was 2.03 and 2.76 respectively.

3. PROFITABILITY RATIOS The primary objectives of business undertaking are to earn profits. Because profit is the engine, that drives the business enterprise. y y y Net profit ratio Gross Profit Ratio Operating profit ratio
(A) NET PROFIT RATIO Net profit ratio establishes a relationship between net profit (after tax) and sales and indicates the efficiency of the management in manufacturing, selling administrative and other activities of the firm. It also indicates the firms capacity to face adverse economic conditions such as price competitors, low demand etc. Obviously higher the ratio, the better is the profitability. Net profit after tax Net profit ratio= Net sales
(Amount in Cr.) Net Profit Ratio Year 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Net Profit After Tax 3.02 4.20 3.14 1.27 0.46 Net Sales 99.05 130.0 123.02 81.25 117.53 Ratio 3.05% 3.23% 2.55% 1.56% 0.39%

Interpretation The net profit ratio is the overall measure of the firms ability to turn each rupee of income from services in net profit. If the net margin is inadequate the firm will fail to achieve return on shareholders funds. High net profit ratio will help the firm service in the fall of income from services, rise in cost of production or declining demand. The profit of the year 2009-106 is 0.39 is lower from the year 2008-09 and 2007-08 by 1.16 and 2.17 respectively. The net profit is decreased because the income from services is decreased.
75
(B) Gross Profit Ratio The basic components for the calculation of gross profit ratio are gross profit and net sales. Net sales mean that sale minus sales returns. Gross profit would be the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold in the case of a trading concern would be equal to opening stock plus purchases, minus closing stock plus all direct expenses relating to purchases. In the case of manufacturing concern, it would be equal to the sum of the cost of raw materials, wages, direct expenses and all manufacturing expenses. In other words, generally the expenses charged to profit and loss account or operating expenses are excluded from the calculation of cost of goods sold.

Interpretation The Gross profit ratio is the overall measure of the firms ability to turn each rupee of income from services in net profit. If the net margin is inadequate the firm will fail to achieve return on shareholders funds. High Gross profit ratio will help the firm service in the fall of income from services, rise in cost of production or declining demand. In 2009-10 the Gross profits decreasing in compare to the year 2008-09 by 3.57 and compare to 2005-06, 2006-07.and 2007-08 are decreasing by0.74, 2.01 and, 2.05 respectively.
77
(C) OPERATING PROFIT RATIO Operating ratio establishes the relationship between cost of goods sold and other operating expenses on the one hand and the sales on the other.
However 75 to 85% may be considered to be a good ratio in case of a manufacturing under taking. Operating profit ratio is calculated by dividing operating profit by sales.

Interpretation The operating profit ratio is used to measure the relationship between net profits and sales of a firm. Depending on the concept, it will decide. The operating profit ratio is increased compared with the last year. The earnings are increased due to the increase in the income from services because of Operations & Maintenance fee. So, the ratio is increased slightly compared with the previous year. In 2009-10 the Operating profits decreasing in compare to the year 2008-09 by 5.56 and compare to 2005-06, 2006-07.and 2007-08 are decreasing by2.97, 3.95 and, 3.67respectively. The operating profit ratio is used to measure the relationship between net profits and sales of a firm. Depending on the concept, it will decide. The operating profit ratio is decreased compared with the last 4 year. The earnings are decreased due to the decrease in the income from services because of Operations & Maintenance fee. So, the ratio is decreased slightly compared with the previous year.
79
CHAPTER-10 FINDING: In all five year the current ratio is higher with compare to the standard ratio but if we will compare the component with Inventory turnover ratio than we can come to know that money is blocked in stock and finished goods which is not converted into sale. So we are loosing the opportunity cost.
If we will take the reference of quick ratio than we can come to know that the much more money is blocked in Inventory rather than the cash, bank or marketable security.
Debtors turnover ratio increasing it has given negative impact on stoke turnover ratio.
The debtors turnover ratio is increasing it means the company has adopted financial stringency policy.
The fixed turnover ratio and total turnover ratio both are decreasing which indicate that the assets are not used optimally to increase the sell.
Net profit ratio is continuous decreasing to the all year, so that is not good mater of company. Here we find gross profit because it is doing manufacture from the purchase, raw material from other industry but it is doing exploration development and drilling the well.
Here the company has not issued preference share and debenture so the leverage benefit has not been receivable by the company.

CHAPTER-11 SUGGESTIONS
Atul Auto Ltd with the help of other Atul Group of companies has established strong business house. The functioning and management of Atul Auto Ltd. is very good.
Being a student just standing on the threshold of studies of management as discipline. But considering this as an initiative give out my view mention some of the suggestion as per my knowledge.
