1- Day’s Sales in Receivables Ratio


Day’s sales in receivables provide an estimate of the number of days, on average, that it takes for
customers to pay their account. The value of receivables at year end referred to in the ratio is equal to the
net balance after deducting any provision for bad or doubtful debts; average daily sales is equal to total
net sales divided by 365.
Receivables at end of period
Day’s sales in receivables =
Average daily sales

Comments: The Company’s days’ sales in receivables ratio has increased constantly over the period of
time. This indicates the poor management of company for its receivables collection. Company should take
some measures to bring this ratio down because as much longer it takes to receive the sales account it
will bring more ambiguity in collection and may result in bad debts.

2-Account Receivables Turnover Ratio


An accounting measure used to quantify a firm's effectiveness in extending credit as well as collecting
debts. The receivables turnover ratio is an activity ratio, measuring how efficiently a firm uses its assets.

Comments: The Company’s accounts receivables turnover ratio has declined which means that company
is not taking effective measures to collect its receivables. The A/R Turnover ratio was 38.84 times in year
2005 and it has reached to 9.06 times in year 2009 which may be very harmful for company. This decrease
also shows the in effectiveness of policies of company towards its receivables collection.

Comments: Account receivables turnover ratio in days has increased which means that the company’s
receivables are being collected in higher period of time which shows the ineffectiveness of company’s
management towards it’s receivables collection. The ratio was 9.4 in year 2005 and it increased to 40.30 in
year 2009 which is 5 times greater than in year 2005. So company doesn’t look desperate to collect it’s
receivables in shorter period of time. The reason may be the relaxed policies of company towards its
collection department. But company should have to take measures to bring this time period down to
make it sure that receivables are collected in time.

Comments: The Company’s inventory turnover ratio has increased in year 2006 as compared to year
2005 which is a good sign for company but it started to decrease in year 2007 and it further
decreased in year 2008. Company has managed to re boost its sales in year 2009 and increased the
turnover ratio of inventory in year 2009. So company has a mixture of trend in the turnover of its
inventory. This indicates that company has the ability to sale its inventory at larger scale if
management takes proper actions.

Comments: The inventory turnover ratio in days was highest in year 2005 and in year 2008. It means
that company has sold effectively its inventory in year 2006, 2007 and 2009 where its inventory was
sold out in just 2 days. But in year 2005 and year 2008 the company was not able to sale its inventory
regularly as compared to other years. Yet company has improved over last year and its inventory is

now being sold out in one and half day which is a good sign for company. As much inventory is sold
the company will earn more profit and it will show the higher profitability of company.

Comments: The operating cycle in year 2005 was 23.78 days and it reduced to 10.68 days in year 2006
which was a good performance by company which means that company is receiving cash proceeds from
its sales and selling it’s inventory in shorter period of time. The time difference between purchasing and
then collecting cash to complete cycle has been increased after year 2007 from 37.26 to 55.21 days.
Which means that in 2006 it takes only 10 days to complete operating cycle but now in 2009 it takes 55
days to complete a cycle? Although this period has decreased from last year from 66 days to 55 days but
it is still very much higher than it was in history of company.

decreased a bit in year 2006 as compared to year 2005. But company has managed to take it up in year
2007. In year 2008 this ratio has also decreased with a very marginal affect. And again in year 2009
company’s current ratio has increased and gained the level as it was in year 2005. So this shows that
company is in a good position to pay its short term liabilities and it is maintaining adequate current assets
and reserve to meet its current liabilities. There are marginal changes in ratio but they have not any big
impact on the profitability and short term debt paying ability of company.

9-Quick Ratio / Acid-Test Ratio

Comments: The quick ratio of company has decreased in year 2006 as compared to year 2005. But
company took measures and it again increased in year 2007 from its previous level. Company has a
marginal decrease in year 2008 and a good increase in year 2009. This trend of company in its quick ratio
shows that the company has a sense of maintaining good and adequate funds for the payment of short
term obligations with its most liquid assets. Company is managing the assets quiet effectively and
efficiently. There is no need to worry about company’s debt paying ability in short terms.

10- Cash Ratio

commonly used as a measure of company liquidity. It can therefore determine if, and how quickly, the

2007 and 2008. This shows that company decreased maintaining the cash and cash equivalents to its
current liabilities. But in year 2009, as it is a good year for the company, the level of cash and equivalents
has also increased which is a good sign for company. This ratio Is showing that company has a some
extent to meet its liquidity situation. And it can quickly pay its current obligations. But there is a point that
this ratio has decreased from year 2005, 0.947 to 0.67, to year 2009.

11- Sales to Working Capital Ratio

increased in year 2006 only. This means that company requires fewer amounts to finance and maintain
the level of sales for the particular year. The amount required to generate the level of sales is lower so it
means that company doesn’t need much money for its sales process.

COMMENTS ON OVERALL LIQUIDITY


If we compare day’s receivables for several years the length of the time that receivables
have been outstanding (gives and indication of their collectability) increase which shows
inefficient management to collect amount from receivables. Account receivables indicate
the liquidity of the receivables which shows continuously negative trend from 2005 to
2009. The account receivables turnover in days also shows negative trend because it
increase year by year. Inventory turnover fluctuate which shows not a positive trend. In
year 2009 and 2006 the inventory turnover in days decreases which shows a favorable
trend. Operating cycle in years 2006 and 2009 decreased, which is positive trend.
Working capital increases continuously which shows that company is stable because its
current assets are higher than its liabilities due this company short-term solvency
chances are minimum. Except in year 2006 and 2008 the company current ratios
increase which shows company can easily pay its short-term debt. Acid test ratio also
increase except in year 2006 and 2009 which shows company has enough liquid assets
to pay its liabilities. In 2009 company cash ratio is high which indicates that the firm is
not using its cash to its best advantage, cash should be but to work in the operations of
the company. Sales to working capital ratio is low, indicates an unprofitable use of
working capital so the company management should take steps to maximize the usage
of its working capital.

1-Net Profit Margin Ratio


A commonly used profit measure is return on sales, often termed as net profit margin. If a company
reports that it earned 6% last year, this statistic usually means that its profit was 6% of sales. This ratio
gives a measure of net income dollars generated by each dollar of sales. While it is desirable for this ratio
to be high, competitive forces within an industry, economic conditions, use of debt financing, and
operating characteristics such as high fixed cost will cause the net profit margin to vary between and
within industries.

Comments: The net profit margin has decreased in year 2006 when it is compared to year 2005. But
company has managed to boost its net profit from year 2007 to year 2009. This is a good indication for
company because the profit earnings ratio is increasing year by year. The only year in which NP margin
ratio was decreased is 2006 but after that company has recovered and maintained a good level of
earnings.

2-Total Assets Turnover Ratio


Total assets turnover ratio means the activity of the assets and the ability of the firm to generate the sales
through the use of the assets. The total assets turnover ratio may be calculated as follows

Comments: The total assets turnover ratio was increased in 2006 with a great affect but after that it
decreased constantly. This means that company is not using its assets to generate the sales level as it
should. So company management should take measures to increase the level of total asset turnover ratio
so that its assets are fully utilized. Currently company is not working good to use its assets and measures
are required to be taken.

Comments: Company has a marginal increased in year 2006 of return on its assets but after that year
company failed to utilize its assets and generate adequate return on its assets. It means that company is
not using its assets well and measures and actions are needed to be taken. The ratio has declined from
24.35 times to 18.25 times from year 2005 to year 2009. So there may be a problem in management of
these assets because they are not being fully utilized to earn and generate money.

Operating Income
OPERATING INCOME MARGIN RATIO =

Comments: Operating income margin ratio decreased in year 2006 but after that company has
managed to increase its operating margin ratio. There may be a lot of reasons that company has
managed its cost of goods sold and other operating expenses. This is a good sign for the company. In
year 2009, although, the operating margin ratio has decreased but it is not much significant and it will
have not any material effect on the profitability of the company.

types of measures are widely used to evaluate enterprise performance. This ratio evaluates the earnings
performance of the firm without regard to the way the investment is financed. It measures the earnings on
investment and indicates how well the firm utilizes its asset base.

Comments: The return on investment was increased in year 2006 which was a good sign for company
but after that year the ratio has declined over the period of time. The company tried to recover in year
2008 but was not able to gain the previous level of ROI and now the company is earning return on
investment at its lower value as compared to its last 5 years. So company has to take some corrective
actions, if it wants to generate adequate return on its investments.

Comments: Return on equity was higher in year 2006 but after year 2006 it started to decline. The
company was not able to pay the equity shareholders an adequate fund and it is now decreasing year by
year. There may be a lot of reasons of decrease in return on equity that company is trying to keep some
earning in its reserves to invest in some future opportunities or some other purposes. So this decision
depends upon the management of company that how they handle the total earnings and how much they
return on its equity.

9-Return on Common Equity


This ratio measures the return to the common shareholder, the residual owners. We can compute this
ratio as follows
RETURN ON COMMON EQUITY =
Net Income before nonrecurring items−¿ Prefered Dividend
Average Common Equity

ratio is decreasing constantly after year 2006 so there is a management decision involved in it as whether
they want to pay more or less to its shareholders.

3- Debt paying ability Ratios


Analysis of only the liquidity or profitability ratios doesn’t give us true picture of firm’s
performance. We have to calculate ratios to check whether company is using its debt
efficiently and taking measures to pay-off its debt as it should.
This analysis indicates the amount of funds provided by outsiders in relation to those
provided by owners of the firm. If a higher proportion of the resource has been
provided by the outsiders, the firm is higher in risk and risk substantially shifted to the
outsiders. A large proportion of debt in the capital structure increases the risk of not
meeting the principal or interest obligation because the company may not genera
adequate funds to meet these obligations.
We will calculate following ratios to analyze debt paying ability of firm
i) Times interest Earned Ratio
ii) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
iii) Debt Ratio
iv) Debt to Equity Ratio

varied from year 2005 to year 2009 from 0.58 to 0.61 but it will have no material effect
on the ability of company. Company, if wants, can use debt to change its capital
structure as any investor will be ready to provide loans to this company. The company’s
debt ratio to equity ratio has also remained constant as 0:100 because company is

it can do so because this company has good ability to pay its debt and bond rating of
company is also good.

Comments: If we consider the all ratios mentioned above it is clear that there is a great chance for the
investor to invest specially for the short term investor as the earning per share is keep on increasing as
well as company maintaining its payout ratio to attract more short term investor. Company is also
maintaining is dividend yield very well that shows how well company keeps its retained earnings after its
dividend. According to my opinion as the company is not using any debt so if we consider the other ratios

The company can use debt to generate more profits as it is quite sure that more the debt the more the
risk and more its return. This company is more suitable for the short term investor as short term investor
looks over the current income and company is paying the current income a lot better than many of the
other companies.
