LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Current Ratio:
Calculation
Current Assets (Balance Sheet) on 31st March 2009 = Rs. 13511.86 crores
Current Liabilities (Balance Sheet) on 31st March 2010 = Rs. 5967.74 crores
Current Assets (Balance Sheet) on 31st March 2010 = Rs. 15788.88 crores
Current Liabilities (Balance Sheet) on 31st March 2010 = Rs. 8393.86 crores
11
Mar 2008 - Apr 2009 Mar 2009 - Apr 2010
Current Ratio 2.26 1.88
The Current Ratio value, touted as ideal at 2:1, was better in 2008-09 and it fell down below
2 in 2009-10 thus indicating a decrease in the working capital of TCS to pay out its current
obligations as compared to 2008-09.
Also known as ‘Liquid Ratio’, ‘Acid Test Ratio’ or ‘Near Money Ratio’
Indicates relationship between liquid assets and liquid liabilities
Ideally, quick assets should be >= quick liabilities
Analysts consider a value of 1 for this ratio as satisfactory
The ratio determines:
o Liquidity position
o Short-term financial position
o Ability to meet commitments without delay
The quick ratio value being higher than 1 indicates that the quick assets are enough to
pay out the quick liabilities.
It’s value in 2009-10, however, has decreased over its value in 2008-09 indicating a fall
in the capacity of the company to pay out the obligations
12
SOLVENCY RATIOS
Debt-Equity Ratio
The value has reduced from 0.04 in 2008-09 to 0.01 in 2009-10 which is viewed favorable
from long-term creditor’s point of view
This means that there is relatively higher margin of safety for the creditors
Interest-coverage Ratio
It is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest expenses on outstanding
debt.
The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense.
When a company's interest coverage ratio is only 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest
expenses may be questionable.
13
Overall, the ratio for TCS is good but it has gone down in the financial year 2009-10
compared to 2008-09
Thus, it is an indication of a decrease in the capacity of the concern to pay interest expenses
on its outstanding debt. However, the value is still good enough for the firm
The stock turnover ratio value increased greatly in 2009-10 over its value in 2008-09
indicating an even more efficient stock management
Thus, the stocks are sold more frequently and hence less money is needed for inventory
maintenance
14
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
It is a measure of the company’s ability to generate net sales from fixed-assets investments
A higher value of this ratio shows that the company has been more effective in using the
investment in fixed assets to generate revenue
There has been a decrease in the value of the ratio in 2009-10 as compared to 2008-09
It means that the efficiency of the firm to generate revenues from investments in fixed
assets has gone down
The value of this ratio in 2009-10 has gone up from that in 2008-09
This is an indication of a more efficient management of debtors by the firm in 2009-10
Debts are being collected at a faster rate and shorter debt collection period in 2009-10
period
15
Debtor’s Collection Period / Debtor’s Velocity Ratio
It is, again, an indication of the efficiency of the firm’s debt control expressed in days
It represents the average number of days for which a firm has to wait before its debtors are
converted into cash
A short collection period implies prompt payment by debtors
It reduces the chances of bad debts
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
16
Mar 2008 - Apr 2009 Mar 2009 - Apr 2010
Net profit before tax ratio 22.11 27.61

value in 2008-09 indicating that it has made higher profits

financial year

09 indicating a better overall profitability in the latter financial year

reduction in the returns available to the concern, yet overall the figure holds good for the
firm

available to the equity shareholders for the capital invested have increased in this financial
year
Thus, it is an indication of profitability and efficient utilization of funds

earning value for the shareholders
