CHAPTER-4
ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
4.1. INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, we are going to analyze working capital
of the organisation by the help of suitable charts, diagrams
& ratios.
4.1.1. Determination of Working Capital
Liquid Assets
RATIO= ----------------------------
Current Liabilities
CHAPTER-5
COMMENT, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION OF
RATIOS 5.1. Current Ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07
1.27 1.33 1.22
COMMENT:
This indicates that in all the three years much less
than the accepted rule of thump i.e. The rules tells when
against Re.1 of current liabilities, there would be Rs.2
current assets available, it would be considered that the
business will have the sound financial position to meet the
short term obligation . In the year 04-05,there is
development of ratio shifted from 1.27 to 1.33 . However,
in the current year 06-07 again there is determination of
current ratio as the current assets again reduced from last
year 05-06 by Re. 0.11 against every Re.1 of current
liabilities.
SUGGESTION:
If this situation to be continued, the creditors will
loose their reliance on the company for payment of their
dues in time and hence they may stop supplying material to
the company on credit considering their security point. It is
therefore necessary for the company to raise current ratio to
confirm the standard rule is either by increasing current
asset or by reducing current liabilities. This can be achieved
by the company declaring more trade discount to attract
credit as well as cash customers.
5.2. Liquid Ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07
0.77 1.05 0.85
COMMENT:
The liquid ratio in the year 04-05 is 0.77 and in the
current year 06-07 is 0.85, which are less than accepted rule
thump 1:1. However, in the year 05-06 the ratio is above
the rule of thump. When the stocks are ignored from the
current assets considering the slow realization, the liquidity
position of the company is little improved as compared to
current ratio. In the year 05-06, the position was quite
satisfactory as the ratio was 1.05:1 which is just above the
standard norms 1:1. The situation in other years is not so
worst because the ratios are in and around 1:1.
SUGGESTION:
Liquid ratios are not even satisfactory through not
worst. There would be feelings in the minds of creditors,
bankers and other claimants that the business may not be
able to pay their dues at time of depression. The employees
may feel insecurity as regards their increments and job
continuity. Therefore, the management should think to
make some investment in marketable security to strengthen
the liquid ratio.
Comment :-
The ratio shows that for every rupee one of trade debtor,
there is Rs. 1.02 credit sales in the year 04-05, 0.69 in the
year 05-06 and 1.03 in the year of 06-07. it implies that in
the year 04-05, only Re.0.02 is collected . in the year 05-06,
total credit sales 0.69is not collected as well as last year
credit sales not collected till the year end 05-06. in the
current year 06-07, only Re.0.03 is collected against Rs.
1.03
Sales. Therefore, it is evident that the credit policy of the
business is not satisfactory.
Suggestion:-
The ratio shows that the liquidity position of the business
is not satisfactory as the credit policy of the business is not
up to mark. This may create severe loss to the business due
to badebt. The management of the business should revise
the credit policy to recover the credit amount from the
customers. The policy should include the declaration of
more cash discount to quick up the customer to pay the
amount at the earliest. At the same time the legal action
should be initiated against the customer whose debts have
become more than two years to avoid the time barred.
5.6 creditor turnover ratio:- 04-05 05-06 06-07
110.79 82.31 115.68
Comment;-
The ratio shows that the business is prompt in making
payment to creditors. It is a good indication for continuous
supply of material by the creditors in the year 04-05, when
there is credit purchase of Rs. 110.79, the sundry creditors
have the dues only Re. 1 accordingly in years 05-06, the
sundry creditors have the dues of Re. 1 against Rs. 82.31
credit purchase the position has been improved in the
current year 06-07, because the creditors has the dues of
Re. 1 against credit purchase of Rs. 115.68.
Suggestion:
Since the company is very particular in payment to
creditors, it can be suggested that if the payment can be
made slow, the business can have the funds available to
utilized in most profitably project or the money gets
blocked for payment to creditors ratio, liquid ratio and
absolute liquid ratio.
5.7 Working capital turn over ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-
07
11.90 11.48
14.02
Comments
The ratio shows that the position of working capital as not
satisfactory in the business. In the year 04-05, when there is
Rs.11.90 sales, only Re. 1working capital remain available.
In the year 05-06, Re. 1 working capital remains available
in every Rs.11.48 sales while it is at Rs. 14.02 sales in the
current year
06-07.
Suggestion
Since the situation is not satisfactory, it is important for
the management to improve the working capital standard to
ensure the smooth and uninterrupted production process.
To improve the strength of working capital, the
management of the business should increase the level of
current assets or decrease the level of current liabilities.
This can be achieved with increase of sales both cash and
credit with offering of discount to the customer for both
cash and credit. The management should revise the system
of credit sales and credit policy to avoid the chances of
badebt. At the same time, the management should take
steps to make the stock fast moving which
Will directly increase the level of working capital.
