RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted in this project is Exploratory Research Design as the data used is
mostly the data which is already available in the form of financial information of the bank.
This design helps us to

Understand the financial status of the bank.

Credit worthiness of the bank.

Primary Data:
The information collected from the employees of the bank, finance managers and the internal
guide.

Secondary Data:
The information collected from the Financial Statements and Audit Reports.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Although ratio analysis is very important tool to judge the company's performance following
are the limitations of it.
1. Ratios are tools of quantitative analysis, which ignore qualitative points of view.
2. Ratios are generally distorted by inflation.
3. Ratios give false result, if they are calculated from incorrect accounting data.
4. Ratios are calculated on the basis of past data. Therefore, they do not provide complete
information for future forecasting.

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

8 | Page

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.

STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS

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 relating to the pas6t
or with the industry ratios. It facilitates in assessing success or failure of the firm.

Third step is to interpretation, drawing of inferences and report writing conclusions

are drawn after comparison in the shape of report or recommended courses of action.

BASIS OR STANDARDS OF COMPARISON

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 most progressive and successful competitor firm at the 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 pro forma
financial statements

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

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.

Selection of relevant data from the financial statements depending upon the objective
of the analysis.

Calculation of appropriate ratios from the above data.

Comparison of the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in the past, or the
ratios 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.

INTERPRETATION OF THE RATIOS

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.

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.

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.

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.,

12 | P a g e

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.

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.

IN THE VIEW OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION THE RATIOS ARE

1. Liquidity ratio
2. Leverage ratio
3. Activity ratio
4. Profitability ratio

Liquidity Ratio

A financial ratio indicating a companys ability to meet its short term financial

obligations
Its a ratio between Liquid Assets (that can be converted to cash) to short term

liabilities
Greater the coverage the more likely is that a business will able to pay its debt and

vice-versa
Commonly used liquidity ratios are

13 | P a g e

o Current Ratio:
i. This ratio explains the relationship between current assets and current
liabilities of a business.
ii.

Current Assets:-Current assets includes those assets which can

be converted into cash with in a years time.

iii.

Current Assets = Cash in Hand + Cash at Bank + B/R + Short Term

Investment + Debtors(Debtors Provision) + Stock(Stock of Finished
Goods + Stock of Raw Material + Work in Progress) + Prepaid Expenses.
Current Liabilities :- Current liabilities include those liabilities which are
repayable in a years time.

iv.

v.

Current Liabilities = Bank Overdraft + B/P + Creditors + Provision for

Taxation + Proposed Dividend + Unclaimed Dividends + Outstanding
Expenses + Loans Payable within a Year.

Significance: - According to accounting principles, a current ratio of 2:1 are

supposed to be an ideal ratio.
It means that current assets of a business should, at least, be twice of its current
liabilities. The higher ratio indicates the better liquidity position; the firm will
be able to pay its current liabilities more easily. If the ratio is less than 2:1, it
indicates lack of liquidity and shortage of working capital.
The biggest drawback of the current ratio is that it is susceptible to window
dressing. This ratio can be improved by an equal decrease in both current
assets and current liabilities.

o Quick Ratio:
i. It measures the ability of a company to use its near cash or quick assets to
ii.

extinguish or retire its current liabilities immediately

Include those current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to

iii.

cash
Quick Ratio = (Cash Equivalents + Short term investments + Accounts
receivable )/ current liabilities
Significance :- An ideal quick ratio is said to be 1:1. If it is more, it is
considered to be better. This ratio is a better test of short-term financial
position of the company.

14 | P a g e

Leverage Ratio
Leverage or Capital Structure Ratio is the ratio discloses the firms ability to meet the interest
costs regularly and Long term indebtedness at maturity.
These ratios include the following ratios:
a.

Debt Equity Ratio:- This ratio can be expressed in two ways:

First Approach : According to this approach, this ratio expresses the relationship
between long term debts and shareholders fund.

Formula:
Debt Equity Ratio=Long term Loans/Shareholders Funds or Net Worth

Long Term Loans:- These refer to long term liabilities which mature after one year. These
include Debentures, Mortgage Loan, Bank Loan, Loan from Financial institutions and Public
Deposits etc.
Shareholders Funds :- These include Equity Share Capital, Preference Share Capital, Share
Premium, General Reserve, Capital Reserve, Other Reserve and Credit Balance of Profit &
Loss Account.

Second Approach : According to this approach the ratio is calculated as follows:Formula:

Debt Equity Ratio=External Equities/internal Equities

Debt equity ratio is calculated for using second approach.

Significance :- This Ratio is calculated to assess the ability of the firm to meet its long term
liabilities. Generally, debt equity ratio of is considered safe.
If the debt equity ratio is more than that, it shows a rather risky financial position from the
long-term point of view, as it indicates that more and more funds invested in the business are
provided by long-term lenders.
The lower this ratio, the better it is for long-term lenders because they are more secure in that
case. Lower than 2:1 debt equity ratio provides sufficient protection to long-term lenders.

15 | P a g e

b. Debt to Total Funds Ratio : This Ratio is a variation of the debt equity ratio and gives the
same indication as the debt equity ratio. In the ratio, debt is expressed in relation to total
funds, i.e., both equity and debt.
Formula:
Debt to Total Funds Ratio = Long-term Loans/Shareholders funds + Long-term Loans
Significance :- Generally, debt to total funds ratio of 0.67:1 (or 67%) is considered
satisfactory. In other words, the proportion of long term loans should not be more than 67%
of total funds.
A higher ratio indicates a burden of payment of large amount of interest charges periodically
and the repayment of large amount of loans at maturity. Payment of interest may become
difficult if profit is reduced. Hence, good concerns keep the debt to total funds ratio below
67%. The lower ratio is better from the long-term solvency point of view.
c. Proprietary Ratio:- This ratio indicates the proportion of total funds provide by owners or
shareholders.

Formula:
Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders Funds/Shareholders Funds + Long term loans
Significance :- This ratio should be 33% or more than that. In other words, the proportion
of shareholders funds to total funds should be 33% or more.
A higher proprietary ratio is generally treated an indicator of sound financial position
from long-term point of view, because it means that the firm is less dependent on external
sources of finance.
If the ratio is low it indicates that long-term loans are less secured and they face the risk
of losing their money.
d. Fixed Assets to Proprietors Fund Ratio :- This ratio is also know as fixed assets to net
worth ratio.
Formula:
Fixed Asset to Proprietors Fund Ratio = Fixed Assets/Proprietors Funds (i.e., Net
Worth)

Significance :- The ratio indicates the extent to which proprietors (Shareholders) funds are
sunk into fixed assets. Normally , the purchase of fixed assets should be financed by

16 | P a g e

proprietors funds. If this ratio is less than 100%, it would mean that proprietors fund are
more than fixed assets and a part of working capital is provided by the proprietors. This will
indicate the long-term financial soundness of business.
e. Capital Gearing Ratio:- This ratio establishes a relationship between equity capital
(including all reserves and undistributed profits) and fixed cost bearing capital.
Formula:
Capital Gearing Ratio = Equity Share Capital+ Reserves + P&L Balance/ Fixed cost
Bearing Capital
Whereas, Fixed Cost Bearing Capital = Preference Share Capital + Debentures + Long Term
Loan
Significance:- If the amount of fixed cost bearing capital is more than the equity share
capital including reserves an undistributed profits), it will be called high capital gearing
and if it is less, it will be called low capital gearing.
The high gearing will be beneficial to equity shareholders when the rate of
interest/dividend payable on fixed cost bearing capital is lower than the rate of return on
investment in business.
Thus, the main objective of using fixed cost bearing capital is to maximize the profits
available to equity shareholders.
f. Interest Coverage Ratio:- This ratio is also termed as Debt Service Ratio. This ratio is
calculated as follows:
Formula:
Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit before charging interest and tax / Fixed
Interest Charges

ACTIVITY RATIO OR TURNOVER RATIO

(C) Activity Ratio or Turnover Ratio :- These ratio are calculated on the bases of cost of
sales or sales, therefore, these ratio are also called as Turnover Ratio. Turnover indicates the
speed or number of times the capital employed has been rotated in the process of doing
business. Higher turnover ratio indicates the better use of capital or resources and in turn lead
to higher profitability.

17 | P a g e

It includes the following :

a.

Stock Turnover Ratio:- This ratio indicates the relationship between the cost of goods
during the year and average stock kept during that year.
Formula:

Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Stock

Here, Cost of goods sold = Net Sales Gross Profit
Average Stock = Opening Stock + Closing Stock/2
Significance:- This ratio indicates whether stock has been used or not. It shows the speed
with which the stock is rotated into sales or the number of times the stock is turned into
sales during the year.
The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that stock is selling quickly. In a
business where stock turnover ratio is high, goods can be sold at a low margin of profit and
even than the profitability may be quit high.
b.

Debtors Turnover Ratio :- This ratio indicates the relationship between credit sales
and average debtors during the year :
Formula:
Debtor Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales / Average Debtors + Average B/R

While calculating this ratio, provision for bad and doubtful debts is not deducted from the
debtors, so that it may not give a false impression that debtors are collected quickly.
Significance :- This ratio indicates the speed with which the amount is collected from
debtors. The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that amount from debtors is
being collected more quickly. The more quickly the debtors pay, the less the risk from baddebts, and so the lower the expenses of collection and increase in the liquidity of the firm.
By comparing the debtors turnover ratio of the current year with the previous year, it may be
assessed whether the sales policy of the management is efficient or not.
c.

Average Collection Period :- This ratio indicates the time with in which the amount is
collected from debtors and bills receivables.

Formula:

18 | P a g e

Average Collection Period = Debtors + Bills Receivable / Credit Sales per day
Here, Credit Sales per day = Net Credit Sales of the year / 365
Second Formula :Average Collection Period = Average Debtors *365 / Net Credit Sales
Average collection period can also be calculated on the bases of Debtors Turnover Ratio.
The formula will be:
Average Collection Period = 12 months or 365 days / Debtors Turnover Ratio
Significance :- This ratio shows the time in which the customers are paying for credit sales.
A higher debt collection period is thus, an indicates of the inefficiency and negligency on the
part of management. On the other hand, if there is decrease in debt collection period, it
indicates prompt payment by debtors which reduces the chance of bad debts.
d. Creditors Turnover Ratio :- This ratio indicates the relationship between credit purchases
and average creditors during the year .
Formula:Creditors Turnover Ratio = Net credit Purchases / Average Creditors + Average B/P
Note :- If the amount of credit purchase is not given in the question, the ratio may be
calculated on the bases of total purchase.
Significance :- This ratio indicates the speed with which the amount is being paid to
creditors. The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it will indicate that the creditors are being
paid more quickly which increases the credit worthiness of the firm.
d. Average Payment Period :- This ratio indicates the period which is normally taken by the
firm to make payment to its creditors.
Formula:Average Payment Period = Creditors + B/P/ Credit Purchase per day
This ratio may also be calculated as follows :
Average Payment Period = 12 months or 365 days / Creditors Turnover Ratio

19 | P a g e

Significance :- The lower the ratio, the better it is, because a shorter payment period implies
that the creditors are being paid rapidly.
d.

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio :- This ratio reveals how efficiently the fixed assets are
being utilized.
Formula:Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/ Net Fixed Assets

Here, Net Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets Depreciation

Significance:- This ratio is particular importance in manufacturing concerns where the
investment in fixed asset is quit high. Compared with the previous year, if there is increase in
this ratio, it will indicate that there is better utilization of fixed assets. If there is a fall in this
ratio, it will show that fixed assets have not been used as efficiently, as they had been used in
the previous year.
e.

Working Capital Turnover Ratio :- This ratio reveals how efficiently working capital
has been utilized in making sales.
Formula :-

Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Working Capital

Here, Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage + Wages + Other Direct
Expenses - Closing Stock
Working Capital = Current Assets Current Liabilities
Significance :- This ratio is of particular importance in non-manufacturing concerns where
current assets play a major role in generating sales. It shows the number of times working
capital has been rotated in producing sales.
A high working capital turnover ratio shows efficient use of working capital and quick
turnover of current assets like stock and debtors.
A low working capital turnover ratio indicates under-utilisation of working capital.
Profitability Ratios or Income Ratios
(D) Profitability Ratios or Income Ratios:- The main object of every business concern is to
earn profits. A business must be able to earn adequate profits in relation to the risk and capital

20 | P a g e

invested in it. The efficiency and the success of a business can be measured with the help of
profitability ratio.
Profitability ratios are calculated to provide answers to the following questions:
Is the firm earning adequate profits?
What is the rate of gross profit and net profit on sales?
What is the rate of return on capital employed in the firm?
What is the rate of return on proprietors (shareholders) funds?
What is the earning per share?

ii.
iii.
iv.

Profitability ratio can be determined on the basis of either sales or investment into business.

(A)

Profitability Ratio Based on Sales :

a) Gross Profit Ratio : This ratio shows the relationship between gross profit and sales.
Formula :
Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit / Net Sales *100
Here, Net Sales = Sales Sales Return
Significance:- This ratio measures the margin of profit available on sales. The higher the
gross profit ratio, the better it is. No ideal standard is fixed for this ratio, but the gross profit
ratio should be adequate enough not only to cover the operating expenses but also to provide
for deprecation, interest on loans, dividends and creation of reserves.
b) Net Profit Ratio:- This ratio shows the relationship between net profit and sales. It may be
calculated by two methods:
Formula:
Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit / Net sales *100
Operating Net Profit = Operating Net Profit / Net Sales *100
Here, Operating Net Profit = Gross Profit Operating Expenses such as Office and
Administrative Expenses, Selling and Distribution Expenses, Discount, Bad Debts, Interest
on short-term debts etc.

21 | P a g e

Significance :- This ratio measures the rate of net profit earned on sales. It helps in
determining the overall efficiency of the business operations. An increase in the ratio over the
previous year shows improvement in the overall efficiency and profitability of the business.
(c) Operating Ratio:- This ratio measures the proportion of an enterprise cost of sales and
operating expenses in comparison to its sales.
Formula:
Operating Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold + Operating Expenses/ Net Sales *100
Where, Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage + Wages + Other Direct
Expenses - Closing Stock
Operating Expenses = Office and Administration Exp. + Selling and Distribution Exp. +
Discount + Bad Debts + Interest on Short- term loans.
Operating Ratio and Operating Net Profit Ratio are inter-related. Total of both these ratios
will be 100.
Significance:- Operating Ratio is a measurement of the efficiency and profitability of the
business enterprise. The ratio indicates the extent of sales that is absorbed by the cost of
goods sold and operating expenses. Lower the operating ratio is better, because it will leave
higher margin of profit on sales.
(d) Expenses Ratio:- These ratio indicate the relationship between expenses and sales.
Although the operating ratio reveals the ratio of total operating expenses in relation to sales
but some of the expenses include in operating ratio may be increasing while some may be
decreasing. Hence, specific expenses ratio are computed by dividing each type of expense
with the net sales to analyse the causes of variation in each type of expense.
The ratios may be calculated as:
(a) Material Consumed Ratio = Material Consumed/Net Sales*100
(b) Direct Labour cost Ratio = Direct labour cost / Net sales*100
(c) Factory Expenses Ratio = Factory Expenses / Net Sales *100
(a), (b) and (c) mentioned above will be jointly called cost of goods sold ratio.
It may be calculated as:
Cost of Goods Sold Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Net Sales*100

22 | P a g e

(d) Office and Administrative Expenses Ratio = Office and Administrative Exp./ Net
Sales*100
(e) Selling Expenses Ratio = Selling Expenses / Net Sales *100
(f) Non- Operating Expenses Ratio = Non-Operating Exp./Net sales*100
Significance:- Various expenses ratio when compared with the same ratios of the previous
year give a very important indication whether these expenses in relation to sales are
increasing, decreasing or remain stationary. If the expenses ratio is lower, the profitability
will be greater and if the expenses ratio is higher, the profitability will be lower.
(B) Profitability Ratio Based on Investment in the Business:These ratio reflect the true capacity of the resources employed in the enterprise. Sometimes
the profitability ratio based on sales are high whereas profitability ratio based on investment
are low. Since the capital is employed to earn profit, these ratios are the real measure of the
success of the business and managerial efficiency.

These ratio may be calculated into two categories:

I. Return on Capital Employed
II. Return on Shareholders funds
I.
Return on Capital Employed :- This ratio reflects the overall profitability of the
business. It is calculated by comparing the profit earned and the capital employed to earn it.
This ratio is usually in percentage and is also known as Rate of Return or Yield on
Capital.
Formula:
Return on Capital Employed = Profit before interest, tax and dividends/
Capital Employed *100
Where, Capital Employed = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + All Reserves
+ P&L Balance +Long-Term Loans- Fictitious Assets (Such as Preliminary Expenses OR
etc.) Non-Operating Assets like Investment made outside the business.
Capital Employed = Fixed Assets + Working Capital

23 | P a g e

Advantages of Return on Capital Employed:

Since profit is the overall objective of a business enterprise, this ratio is a barometer
of the overall performance of the enterprise. It measures how efficiently the capital
employed in the business is being used.
Even the performance of two dissimilar firms may be compared with the help of this
ratio.
The ratio can be used to judge the borrowing policy of the enterprise.
This ratio helps in taking decisions regarding capital investment in new projects. The
new projects will be commenced only if the rate of return on capital employed in such
projects is expected to be more than the rate of borrowing.
This ratio helps in affecting the necessary changes in the financial policies of the firm.
Lenders like bankers and financial institution will be determine whether the enterprise
is viable for giving credit or extending loans or not.
With the help of this ratio, shareholders can also find out whether they will receive
regular and higher dividend or not.

II. Return on Shareholders Funds :Return on Capital Employed Shows the overall profitability of the funds supplied by long
term lenders and shareholders taken together. Whereas, Return on shareholders funds
measures only the profitability of the funds invested by shareholders.
These are several measures to calculate the return on shareholders funds:
(a) Return on total Shareholders Funds :For calculating this ratio Net Profit after Interest and Tax is divided by total shareholders
funds.
Formula:
Return on Total Shareholders Funds = Net Profit after Interest and Tax / Total Shareholders
Funds
Where, Total Shareholders Funds = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + All
Reserves + P&L A/c Balance Fictitious Assets
Significance:- This ratio reveals how profitably the proprietors funds have been utilized by
the firm. A comparison of this ratio with that of similar firms will throw light on the relative
profitability and strength of the firm.
(b) Return on Equity Shareholders Funds:-

24 | P a g e

Equity Shareholders of a company are more interested in knowing the earning capacity of
their funds in the business. As such, this ratio measures the profitability of the funds
belonging to the equity shareholders.
Formula:
Return on Equity Shareholders Funds = Net Profit (after int., tax & preference dividend) /
Equity Shareholders Funds *100
RATIO ANALYSIS

Where, Equity Shareholders Funds = Equity Share Capital + All Reserves + P&L A/c
Balance Fictitious Assets
Significance:- This ratio measures how efficiently the equity shareholders funds are being
used in the business. It is a true measure of the efficiency of the management since it shows
what the earning capacity of the equity shareholders funds. If the ratio is high, it is better,
because in such a case equity shareholders may be given a higher dividend.
(c) Earning Per Share (E.P.S.) :- This ratio measure the profit available to the equity
shareholders on a per share basis. All profit left after payment of tax and preference dividends
are available to equity shareholders.
Formula:
Earning Per Share = Net Profit Dividend on Preference Shares / No. of Equity Shares
Significance:- This ratio helpful in the determining of the market price of the equity share of
the company. The ratio is also helpful in estimating the capacity of the company to declare
dividends on equity shares.
(d) Dividend Per Share (D.P.S.):- Profits remaining after payment of tax and preference
dividend are available to equity shareholders.
But of these are not distributed among them as dividend . Out of these profits is retained in
the business and the remaining is distributed among equity shareholders as dividend. D.P.S. is
the dividend distributed to equity shareholders divided by the number of equity shares.
Formula:
D.P.S. = Dividend paid to Equity Shareholders / No. of Equity Shares *100

25 | P a g e

(e) Dividend Payout Ratio or D.P. :- It measures the relationship between the earning
available to equity shareholders and the dividend distributed among them.
Formula:
D.P. = Dividend paid to Equity Shareholders/ Total
Net Profit belonging to Equity Shareholders*100
OR
D.P. = D.P.S. / E.P.S. *100

(f) Earning and Dividend Yield :- This ratio is closely related to E.P.S. and D.P.S. While the
E.P.S. and D.P.S. are calculated on the basis of the book value of shares, this ratio is
calculated on the basis of the market value of share
(g) Price Earning (P.E.) Ratio:- Price earning ratio is the ratio between market
price per equity share & earnings per share. The ratio is calculated to make an
estimate of appreciation in the value of a share of a company & is widely used by
investors to decide whether or not to buy shares in a particular company.

Significance :- This ratio shows how much is to be invested in the market in this companys
shares to get each rupee of earning on its shares. This ratio is used to measure whether the
market price of a share is high or low.

CHAPTER 2

ABOUT BANKING INDUSTRY AND HDFC BANK

27 | P a g e

ABOUT THE BANKING INDUSTRY:

A bank is a financial institution who acts as a payment agent to customers and to borrow and
lend money. Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18thcentury. The first bank
was the General Bank of India, which started in the year 1786, and The Bank of Hindustan.
The banking regulation act of India, 1949 regulates the Indian banking industry, and it has
classified the banks into two major categories, namely, scheduled banks and non- scheduled
banks.
The banking industry is one of the huge sectors of banking and finance that has existed in
human civilization in some form for thousands of years. There are many banks in the world
and they all are usually regulated by the worlds governments so as to curb corruption and
also protect the money of the general public. In todays world, the banking industry plays a
major part in financial dealings, as it is one of the most biggest and popular means for
investing, borrowing, and storing money.
The oldest bank still in existence is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of
Calcutta in June 1806.

Private Banks:
Private Banks in India is a part of Indian banking sector which are owned by either an
individual or a general partner. Private Banks are usually not incorporated. These are the
banks in which the greater part of stake or equity is held by the private shareholders and not
by the government. The word private denotes that the customer service is rendered in a
more personalized manner.
Public Banks:
Public banks are the banks wherein the majority stake is held by the government. Therefore,
the banks in which more than 50% of stake is held by the government are called the public
sector banks. In India there are 21 public sector banks in total. A public bank is a bank or a
financial institution in which state or the public actors are the owners. Thus, it is a company
under the state control.

28 | P a g e

Therefore, to conclude, the major difference between the two banks is that the private banks
are the banks in which the government interference is less, whereas government holdings are
more than 50% in the public banks.

Contribution of HDFC bank in the economy:

HDFC Bank has won award for offering products which are new and innovative. It thus
contributes towards the economy. The bank has also reduced the poverty by providing more

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT FACTORS AFFECTING BANKING INDUSTRY

Business environment includes the internal as well as external factors that affect the operation
of a business. Therefore, business environment is the sum total of the forces or the
surroundings that have an influence on the business operations. The internal environmental
factors are usually controllable because the management has control over it. Whereas the
external environmental factors are difficult to control by the company. There are two types of
external environment: Microenvironment and Macro environment.
It is important for every company to do environment analysis that is scanning the
environment so that it may identify its threats and opportunities and improve its planning
process.
Rebound in the housing marketAccording to the recent reports, there have been some improvements in the national
housing market this year. The average sale price for existing homes in June 2012
showed an increase of 7.9% when compared to the last year according to the National
Association of REALTORS (NAR) reported that The median home sale price in York
County for August was $142,000 down from $142,500 in 2011 according to a report
by The REALTORS Association of York and Adams Counties (RAYAC) . There were
around 349 properties sold in August 2012 compared to 322-sold last year. In August
2012, Adams Countys median home sale price was $162,000 with a total of 73
properties sold compared to 2011 when the median home sale price was $163,000 and
58 properties sold according to the report by RAYAC

CompetitorsThe mortgage and banking industries have always been very competitive. (In York
County alone, there are 275 banking and lending institutions.) The historically low
interest rates are fuelling buyers to shop around for the best possible deals, while it is

30 | P a g e

believed that new federal regulations will make it harder for small community banks
to compete with the larger regional and national banks.

Interest ratesThe interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at the end of August 2012 was
3.55% while a 15 year fixed rate mortgage was 2.86% according to Freddie Mac,

Presidential electionUndoubtedly the economy is the center of attention in the future presidential election.
Whoever the next president may be will have a huge effect on the future of real estate
and mortgages. Economic and employment policies will help drive the affordability
and sustainability of the real estate market while applying or revoking the Dodd-Frank
Act will largely impact the mortgage market.
Supply and demandThe increase in average sale price nationwide is mainly due to a tightening in housing
supply in markets across the nation. The shortage of inventory is limiting the buying
opportunities and therefore is driving prices up. Even though, average prices are
raising some, many homeowners are still upside down on their mortgages (they owe
more than their home is currently worth). This is the main cause for the tightening in
the housing supply. Demand for housing is being fueled by historically low mortgage
interest rates. Buyers are starting to get back out there and take advantage of the
interest rates while they last.

The foreign banks in the private sector help the Indian companies and the government
agencies to meet out their financial requirements from international capital markets. This

32 | P a g e

in important foreign centres. In this way they help a large extent in the promotion of trade and
industry in the country.

Customer service:
Earlier, the government enterprises ruled the Indian market but today the situation has
been changed. With the rise of Indian private sector companies, the customers needs
have got more personalized and they are given speedy services.

Employment:
The importance of private sector in Indian economy has been very commendable in
generating employment and thus reducing the poverty. It thus increases the quality of life
of the people, also it leads to increased access to essential commodities and also the value
of human capital has been increased due to this.

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

Current Ratio

Year

Ratio

2012

0.40

2013

0.33

Interpretation
The current ratio is a financial ratio that helps to measure the liquidity of the firm. It tells us
about the company ability to meet its obligation. It shows that whether the firm has enough
resource to pay off its debts or liabilities. It compares a firm's current assets to its current
liabilities.
As a rule, the current ratio with 2:1 (or) more is considered as satisfactory
position of the firm.
If we compare with the current ratio of 2012 which was 0.40, there was a
steady decline in the current ratio. And the ratios for the years 2012 through 2014 are less
compared to the 2:1 rule.
So we can say that the company is not performing good in the aspects of
financial strength and it can be understood that they have a weak financial strength.
HDFC is not working towards the good ratios in terms of liquidity. This can be
understood by observing the steady decline in their current ratios.

45 | P a g e

HDFC should try to decrease their current liabilities gradually in order to

increase the current ratio which will help in achieving their short term obligations.

INTERPRETATION
Quick assets are those assets which can be converted into cash within 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 2012, the Quick ratio is increased because the sundry debtors
are increased due to the increase in the corporate tax and for that the provision created is also
increased. So, the ratio is also increased with the 2012 by 2013.
But the firm again saw a decline in 2014 in terms of Quick ratio because the
sundry debtors slightly came down as compared to 2013; but the difference is very minimal.

absolute liquid assets.
The ideal condition for Absolute Liquidity Ratio of any company is 0.5:1,
meaning that they are maintaining good cash balances.
It can be observed that there has been a steady increase in the Absolute
liquidity ratio from 2012 through 2014 closing to 1:1 which is a good sign indicating that
HDFC has been increasing their cash balances both at hand and at bank while reducing their

The proprietary ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders funds

to which the assets of the company can be lost without affecting the interest of the company.
Though there was a significant increase in the capital since 2012, the
Proprietary Ratio stands almost same at 0.08-0.09.
It was 0.08 in 2012 and then increased slightly due to the increase in the
capital in the company, reached 0.09 in 2013. But due to the increase in the total assets of the
company, though there was significant increase in the shareholders funds the proprietary

Fixed assets are used in the business for producing the goods to be sold. This

The income from services is greatly 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 affected
a huge increase in the ratio compared with the previous years ratio. Though this value is less

INTERPRETATION
The ratio is used to reveal the policy pursued by the company a very high ratio
indicates a conservative dividend policy and vice-versa. Higher the ratio better will be the
position.
The reserves & surplus is increased gradually. The capital is also increasing
gradually but not proportionate to reserves & surplus. So the increase in the reserves &
surplus caused a greater increase in the current years ratio compared with the older taking
the Reserves & Surplus to Capital ratio to 27.28.

INTERPRETATION
Earnings per share ratio are used to find out the return that the shareholders
earn from their shares. After charging depreciation and after payment of tax, the remaining
amount will be distributed by all the shareholders.
Net profit after tax is increased due to the huge increase in the income from
services. That is the amount which is available to the shareholders to take. Due to the huge
increase in net profit the earnings per share is greatly increased in 2014.

14. Price Earnings ratio is reduced when compared with the last years. It is reduced from
23.62 to 21.19, because the earnings per share is increased.
15. The Return on Investment has increased from 2012 to 2014. It was 0.178 in 2012 and
reached 0.182 in 2014. Both the profit and shareholders funds increase cause an
increase in the ratio.

After the analysis of Financial Statements, the company status is better, because the
Net working capital of the company increased from the last years position.

The company profits are huge in the current year; it is better to declare the dividend to
shareholders.

The company is utilising the fixed assets, which majorly help to the growth of the
organisation. The company should maintain that perfectly.

The company fixed deposits are raised from the inception, it gives the other income
i.e., Interest on fixed deposits.

CONCLUSION
The companys overall position is at a good position. Particularly the current
years position is well due to raise in the profit level from the last year position. It is better for
the organization to diversify the funds to different sectors in the present market scenario.
