• This study is based on secondary data obtained from the annual reports containing the
Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Profit and Loss account.
• In addition to this supportive data is collected from various websites, journals and
newspapers.
Ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios which are derived from the
information in a company’s financial statements. Financial ratios are usually expressed as a
percent or as times per period. Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is
15
defines 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.
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 analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. Various activity
ratios are measured are mentioned below:
• Liquidity Ratios
• Solvency Ratios
• Profitability Ratios
• Activity Ratios
1) Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios are a measure of the ability of a company to pay off its short-term
liabilities. Liquidity ratios determine how quickly a company can convert the assets and
use them for meeting the dues that arise. The higher the ratio, the easier is the ability to
clear the debts and avoid defaulting on payments.
1.1 Current Ratio:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term
obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and analysts how a company can
maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other payables.
The quick ratio also known as the acid-test ratio, is a liquidity ratio that further refines the
current ratio by measuring the level of the most liquid current assets available to cover current
liabilities. The quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio because it excludes
inventory and other current assets, which generally are more difficult to turn into cash. A higher
quick ratio means a more liquid current position.
16
1.3 Working Capital:
A measure of both company’s efficiency and its short term financial health. Positive working
capital means that the company is able to pay off its short term liabilities. Negative working
capital means that the company currently is unable to meet its short term liabilities with its
current assets (cash, accounts, receivable and inventory). Also known as “net working capital”.
2) Solvency Ratios
By using a combination of assets, debt, equity and interest payments, solvency ratios
are used to understand a company’s ability to meet it long term financial obligations.
Solvency ratios measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long term funds. The
level of solvency depends on a lot of factors such as availability of collateral, strength
of operating cash flow and tax treatments. Thus investors should be very careful about
comparing financial solvency between companies from different industries.
The ratio of total debt to total assets, generally called the debt ratio, measures the percentage
of funds provided by the creditors. The proportion of a firm’s total assets that are being financed
with borrowed funds. The debt ratio is calculated by dividing total long term and short term
liabilities by total assets. The higher the ratio, the more leverage the company is using and the
more risk it is assuming. Assets and liabilities are found on a company’s balance sheet.
The debt to equity ratio is the most popular leverage ratio and it provides detail around the
amount of leverage (liabilities assumed) that a company has in relation to the monies provided
by shareholders. The debt to equity ratio gives the proportion of a company (or person’s) assets
that are financed by debt versus equity. A high debt to equity ratio implies that the company
has been aggressively financing its activities through debt and therefore must pay interest on
this financing.
17
2.3 Current Worth to Net Worth Ratio= Current Worth/ Net worth Ratio
We can calculate current worth and net worth by using following formulas:
The capitalization ratio measures the debt component of a company’s capital structure, or
capitalization to support a company’s operations and growth. Long term debt is divided by the
sum of long term debt and shareholder’s equity. This ratio is considered to be one of the more
meaningful of the “debt” ratios- it delivers the key insight into a company’s use of leverage.
Total Capitalization Ratio= Long term debt/ Long term debt+ Shareholder’s equity
The interest coverage ratio tells us how easily a company is able to pay interest expenses
associated to the debt they current have. The ratio is designed to understand the amount of
interest due as a function of company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). This ratio
measures the extent to which operating income can decline before the firm is unable to meet
its annual interest cost.
3) Profitability Ratios
Profitability is the ability to earn profit from all the activities of an enterprise. It indicates how
well management of an enterprise generates earnings by using the resources at its disposal.
Profitability ratios show the combines effects of liquidity, asset management and debt on
operating results. These ratios examine the profit made by the firm and compare these figures
with the size of the firm, the assets employed by the firm or its level of sales.
There are four important profitability ratios that I am going to analyze are given below:
Net Profit Margin gives us the net profit that the business is earning per dollar of sales. This
margin indicates the profit after all the costs have been incurred it shows that what % of
18
turnover is represented by the net profit. An increase in the ratios indicates that a firm is
producing higher net profit of sales than before.
The operating profit margin ratio indicates how much profit a company makes after paying for
variable costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc. It is also expressed as a
percentage of sales and then shows the efficiency of a company controlling the costs and
expenses associated with business operations.
It measures a company’s profitability, equal to a fiscal year’s earnings divided by its total
assets, expressed as a percentage. This is an important ratio for companies deciding whether or
not to initiate a new project. The basis of this ratio is that if a company is going to start a project
they expect to earn a return on it, ROA is the return they would receive. Simply put, if ROA is
above the rate that the company borrows at then the project should be accepted, if not then it is
rejected.
Return on Net worth measures the amount of Net Income earned by shareholders. By this, we
can find out how much the shareholders are going to get for their shares. This ratio indicates
how profitable a company is by comparing its net income to its average shareholder’s equity.
It measures how much the shareholders earned for their investment in the company. The higher
the ratio percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the better
return is to investors.
4) Activity Ratios
Activity ratio are sometimes called efficiency ratios. Activity ratios are concerned
with how efficiency the assets of the firm are managed. These ratios express
19
relationship between level of sales and the investment in various in various assets
inventories, receivables, fixed assets etc.
It measures a firm’s efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or revenue- the higher the
number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy: company with low profit tend to have high
asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset turnover.
Working capital turnover is a ratio that measures how efficiently a company is using
its working capital to support sales and growth. A higher working capital turnover ratio is
better, and indicates that a company is able to generate a larger amount of sales. However, if
working capital turnover rises too high, it could suggest that a company needs to raise
additional capital to support future growth.
5) Market Ratios
Market Value Ratios relate an observable market value, the stock price, to book values
obtained from the firm’s financial statements.
The portion of company’s profit allocated share of common stock. EPS serve as an indicator
of a company’s profitability. Earnings per share are generally considered to be the single most
important variable in determining a share price. It is also a major component used to calculate
the price- to earning valuation ratio.
The Price- Earnings ratio is calculated by dividing the current market price per share of the
stock by earning per share (EPS). (Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by
the no. of shares outstanding.)
20
5.3 Dividend Payout Ratio
The dividend payout ratio is the amount of dividends paid to stockholders relative to the amount
of total net income of a company. The amount that is not paid out in dividends to stockholders
is held by the company for growth.
Comparative study of financial statements is the comparison of the financial statements of the
business with the previous year’s financial Statements. It enables identification of weak points
and applying corrective measures. Practically, two financial statements (balance sheet and
income statement) are prepared in comparative form for analysis purposes.
While interpreting comparative balance sheet the interpreter is expected to study the following
aspects:
21
statement are net sales. Cost of goods sold, selling expenses, office expenses etc. The figures
of the above components are matched with their corresponding figures of previous years
individually and changes are noted. The comparative income statement gives an idea of the
progress of a business over a period of time. The changes in money value and percentage can
be determined to analyze the profitability of the business. Like comparative balance sheet,
income statement also four columns. The first two columns are shown figures of various item
for two years. Third and fourth columns are used to show increase or decrease in figures in
absolute amount and percentages respectively. The analysis and interpretation of income
statement will involve the following:
i. The increase or decrease in sales should be compared with increase or decrease in cost
of goods sold.
ii. To study the operating profits.
iii. The increase or decrease in net profit is calculated that will give an idea about the
overall profitability concern.
Thus the common size statement may be prepared in the following way. The total assets or
liabilities are taken as 100 – The individual assets are expressed as a percentage of total assets
i.e. 100 and different liabilities are calculated in relation to total liabilities. For example, if total
assets are Rs.10 lakhs and value of inventory is Rs.100, 000, then inventory will be 10% of
total assets (10000*100/1000000)
22
Common size Income Statement is the vertical analysis of Income Statement in which value of
Revenue from Operations is taken as 100 and values of other items of Statement of Profit and
Loss are expressed as percentage of Revenue from Operations.
Objectives
The balance sheet adheres to the following accounting equation, with assets on one side, and
liabilities plus shareholder equity on the other, balance out:
This formula is intuitive. That's because a company has to pay for all the things it owns
(assets) by either borrowing money (taking on liabilities) or taking it from investors (issuing
shareholder equity).
23
3) Shareholder Equity
Shareholder equity is the money attributable to the owners of a business or its
shareholders. It is also known as net assets since it is equivalent to the total assets
of a company minus its liabilities or the debt it owes to non-shareholders.
An income statement is used for reporting a company’s financial performance over a specific
accounting period. The income statement focuses on the revenue, expenses, gains, and losses
of a company during a particular period. Also known as the profit and loss (P&L) statement.
An income statement provides valuable insights into a company’s operations, the efficiency
of its management, underperforming sectors, and its performance relative to industry peers.
24
➢ Expenses are something that a business has to budget for and plan for, while losses are
often unforeseen and can throw a wrench in even the best-laid plans.

Table No. 4
The current ratio of Bharti Airtel was 0.5 in 2018 and it decreased to 0.3 in 2019 and in 2020,
2021 and 2022 it shows a slight increase between 0.5 and 0.6. All those five years current ratio
of the company is not satisfactory it is below the rule of thumb that is 2:1.
➢ Quick Ratio:
Quick asset/ Current Liability
(Quick Asset = Current Asset-Inventory)
Year 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018

It is very clear from the above calculations that the working capital of the company is not
increasing, so the company’s liquidity position is not good. Airtel current liability is more than
its current assets. This results in negative working capital over the years.
34
3.32 Solvency Ratios
➢ Debt Ratio:
Debt Ratio =Total Debt/ Total Assets
Calculating the debt ratio, we came to see that the company is highly leveraged one.
The debt equity ratio of Airtel in 2018 was 0.99 which increased to 2.60 in 2022. It shows the
company is using advantages of having debt.
➢ Current Worth to Net Worth Ratio= Current Worth/ Net worth Ratio
We can calculate current worth and net worth by using following formulas:
35
Net worth
78929.80 77360.1 101429.4 98305.9 102860.9
CW/NW
ratio -0.46 -0.40 -0.33 -0.41 -0.21
Table No. 9
The current worth of the company shows a negative pattern over the years which results in
negative current to net worth ration. In 2018 it was -0.21 and -0.46 in 2022.
Total Capitalization Ratio= Long term debt/ Long term debt+ Shareholder’s equity
Total capitalization ratio was 0.98 in 2018 which decreased to 0.51 in 2020 and then
shows a slight increase in 2022, 0.62. Here low debt and high equity indicates good
quality of investment.
36
TIE Ratio= EBIT/ Interest Charges
Interest
Charges 14145.80 11816.70 11463.10 7847.70 5069.00
We can see from this ratio analysis that, this company has covered their interest expenses 0.98
times in 2018, 0.025 times in 2019, 0.17 times in 2020, 0.70 times in 2021 and 0.84 times in
2022, it means they have performed different in every year. As in 2022 they issued a high
number of long term loans and their EBIT became high thus making TIE a little high as well.
From the above table it can be seen that the net profit of the year 2019 and 2021-22 was negative
because the company incurred losses. The profit of the company in the year 2020 and 2018
was 10.04% and 1.27% respectively. The decrease in the amount in these year was due to
increase in expenses, high finance cost and high amount of loan.
37
➢ Operating Profit Margin
Operating Profit= Operating Profit *100 / Net Sales
Operating profit margin shows actual performance of the company and evaluation of the
business is done by it. The table shows the operating profit ratio of Airtel from the period of
2018 to 2022. This table indicates the trend of operating profit ratios increasing from 33.17%
in 2018 to 49.67% in 2022. The reason of increasing operating profit margin can be decrease
in operating expenses of the company.
➢ Return on Assets
Return on Assets (ROA) = Profit after Tax/ Total Assets * 100
The table above depicting the data regarding net profit to total assets of Airtel, which were
working in India during the period of 2018 to 2022. In 2020 net profit was the highest as
compared to the other years. But after 2020 it started decreasing. In 2021, it decreased by
38
156.2%. In 2022 return on asset was -6.28% which was negative due to loss incurred by the
company.
The table above showing returns on net worth of Airtel for the last five years. It is evident that
in the year 2018 it was 0.66% which means the company earning 0.66% on its shareholders
but it decreases suddenly to -4.75% in 2019. This is because of the increase in shareholders
fund was more than increase in net profit. Again it 2020 it started increasing to 5.37% due to
increase in net profit and shareholders fund. In 2021 and 2022 it was -13.15% and -2.04%
which is negative due to negative profit of the company.
39
Assets turnover ratio has been decreased all the years. It was 0.26% in 2018 and it reduced to
0.24% in 2022.
As we can see from above calculate working capital turnover ratio of company is not good as
it continuously declining but only in 2020 with 1.57 it gives a slight rise but again decreased
in 2021 and 2022.
40
Table No. 18
From the above table it can be seen that earning per share of the company showing decreasing
trend. In the year 2018 the ratio was highest that is 0.20 but in 2019 it decreased to -4.68
because of decrease in net profit. Then again decreased to -66.15 in 2020, -45.88 in 2021 and
slightly increased to -6.16 in 2020 because of the negative profit.
Market price
per share 709.05 709.05 709.05 709.05 709.05
The P/E ratio has decreased drastically from 3545.25 in 2018 to -115.10 in 2022. As the firm
has negative earnings hence, this ratio is not meaningful.
41
3.4 Comparative Statement Analysis
Interpretation:
The comparative balance sheet of the company reveals that during 2022 there has been increase
in fixed assets of 13969.5 i.e. 8.09%. Long term liabilities to outsiders have relatively increased
by Rs.2492.9 and shareholder’s funds has increased by Rs.1569.7. This fact indicates that the
policy of the company is to purchase fixed assets from the long- term sources of finance.
The current assets have decreased by -2254.1 i.e.-5.96%. The current liabilities have increased
by 3044.8 i.e. 4.08%. This further confirms that the company working capital position is not
good as its working capital comes in negative figures.
42
Reserve and surplus has been increased by 1.99% which can say that increase in retained
earnings could be a sign of increased dividends in the future, which may help the company to
increase its share price.

43
Interpretation:
The comparative income statement reveals that there has been decreases in total income of the
company by Rs.5350.9 i.e. 7.42%, although operating expenses have decreased merely by Rs.-
790.7 which is not good. While the net profit increased by Rs.-8523.2, the company needs to
reasons for negative profit and should take corrective actions.

Sheet and P & L statements of Airtel of 2018- 2022 it was concluded that liquidity position of
the company is good.
4.14 Suggestions
• The firm has very low current ratio, so it should increase its current asset as compared
to its current liability where it can meet its short term obligation smoothly.
• As the low values for the liquidity ratios indicates that a firm may have difficulty in
meeting current obligations. Thus it is better for them to increase their liquidity ratio by
using long term financing rather than cash on hand to acquire inventory or selling
unnecessary assets.
• A profitability ratio is a measure of profitability, which is a way to measure a company’s
performance. Profitability is simply the capacity to make a profit. The firms can
improve their profit by improving customers demand and minimizing costs help
increase in profitability ratios.
• The companies can make solvency ratios more secure either by paying off debt or
increasing the amount of earnings retained in the business until after balance sheet. As
the higher ratio indicates a possible overuse of leverage it may indicate potential
problems meeting the debt payments.
• The companies can increase Market Share Ratio through innovation, strengthening
customer relationships, smart hiring practices and acquiring competitors.
• The company should maintain its debt position
• Sales should be increased without addition of fixed assets.
