1.7 Tools for Analysis
Ratio analysis is the main tool used for analyzing the working capital, liquidity,
solvency and profitability of the company. Comparative balance sheet is also used
as a tool. Mainly three types of ratios are used: liquidity ratio, solvency ratio and
profitability ratio.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 Introduction
Liquidity ratio
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligation as and
when these becomes due. The short-term obligations are met by realizing amounts
from current, floating or circulating events. The current assets should either be
liquid or near liquidity. These should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of
short- term nature. The sufficiency or insufficiency of current asset should be
assessed by comparing them with short term current liabilities. If the current assets
can pay off current liabilities then liquidity position will be satisfactory. The below
stated are the different types of liquidity ratios:
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current
liabilities. This rate is a measure of liquidity and is most widely used to make the
analysis of a short-term financial position or liquidity of the firm.
Current Ratio = Current Asset
Current Liability
The standard current ratio is considered to be 2:1.
2. Quick or liquid ratio
Quick ratio is also known as acid test of liquid ratio, is a more rigorous test of
liquidity than the current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to
pay its short-term obligations as and when they become due. Quick ratio may be
defined as the relationship between quick assets and current liabilities. Current
assets except inventories and prepaid expenses constitute the liquid asset. And
quick liabilities do not include bank overdraft and includes all other current
liabilities
Solvency Ratio
The term solvency refers to the ability of a concern to meet its long-term obligations.
The long-term indebtedness of a firm includes debenture holders. financial
institutions providing medium- and long-term loans and other creditors selling
goods on instalment basis. The long-term creditors of a firm are primarily
interested in knowing the firm's ability to pay regularly interest on long term
borrowings, repayment of the principle amount etc. According long-term solvency
ratios indicates a firm's ability to meet the fixed interest and costs and repayment
schedule associated with long term borrowings. Some of the ratios that serve the
purpose of determining the solvency of the concern are discussed below.
1. Debt-Equity ratio:
Shareholder’s Funds
A ratio of 1:1 may be considered satisfactory ratio although there cannot be any
rule of thumb" or standard norms for all types of business. In some business a high
ratio 2:1 or even more may be considered satisfactory.
Total Assets
There is no ideal ratio, higher the ratio or the shareholder's in the total capital of
the company, better is the long-term solvency position of the company,
This ratio indicates the relationship between the total liabilities to outsiders to total
assets of the firm and can be calculated as follows
Total Assets
Generally, lower the ratio of total liabilities to total assets, more satisfactory or
stable is the long-term solvency position of a firm
Net income to debt service or simply debt service ratio is used to test the debt serving
capacity of the firm. This ratio is also known as interest coverage ratio.
Interest coverage ratio = Net profit (before interest and tax)
Generally higher the ratio, safer are the long-term creditors because even if
earnings of the firm fall, the firm shall be able to meet its commitment of fixed
interest charges. But a too high interest coverage ratio may not be good for the
firm because it may imply that the firm is not using the debt as a source of finance so
as to increase the earnings per share.
Profitability Ratios
Capital employed
This is the ratio of net profit to shareholder's fund or net worth; it measures the
profitability from the shareholder's point of view. This ratio is called the 'mother of
all the ratio This is perhaps the most important ratio because it measures the return
that is earned on the owner's capital. It is calculated as follows:
Return on the shareholders’ funds = Net Profit after interest and tax
Shareholders fund
This ratio is an indicator of how profitable company is relative to its total assets.
ROA gives a manager, investor, or analyst an idea as to how efficient a company's
management is at using its assets to generate earnings. It is calculated as follows:
Return on assets = Net Income
Total assets
Higher ROA indicates more asset efficiency.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Working capital is a financial metric which represents operating finance available
to business, organizations or other entities, including government entity, along
with fixed asset such as plant and equipment. Working capital is considered a part
of operating capital. Net working capital is calculated as current assets minus
current liabilities. It is a derivation of working capital which is commonly used in
valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow. If current assets are less than
current liabilities and entity has a working capital deficiency, also called working
capital deficit
A company has endorsed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity is its
assets can’t readable be converted into cash. Positive working capital is required to
ensure thus at a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient to
satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. The
management of working capital involves managing inventory account receivable
and payable and cash working capital is how much is liquid asset that a company
has on hand. Working capital is needed to pay for planned and unexpected
expenses to meet the short-term obligations of the business, and to build the
business.
The account formula used to calculate the available working capital of a business
is current asset - current liability = working capital, it may be positive or negative.
When the current asset exceeds the current liability, the working capital is positive
and negative working capital results when current liability is more than the current
assets
There are two concepts of working capital: - gross working capital and net
working capital. Gross working capital refers to working capital as the total of
current asset, whereas the net working capital as excess of current asset over
current liability. In
the other words, net working capital refers to current asset financing by long term
funds.
Gross working capital= total current assets
Net working capital = current assets - current liability
Here the profitability refers to the profit after expenses risk and refers to the
profitability that a firm will become technically insolvent where it will be unable
to meet obligation when they become due for payment.
2.3 Empirical Literature
Sai Naga Radha V (2013), concluded that net profit margin, operating profit
margin, return on capital employed, return on equity and debt equity ratio there is
no significant difference in these ratios before after merger. Significant difference
with respect to gross profit margin.
Sharma Pooja Hemlata (2014) Financial Performance of ICICI Bank and SBI
Bank: A Comparative Analysis, International Journal of Research Aspects 16Of
Engineering and Management Vol-1, Issue-1 The purpose of the study is to
examine
the financial performance of SBI and ICICI Bank, public sector and private sector
respectively. The research is descriptive and analytical in nature. The data used for
the study was entirely secondary in nature. The present study is conducted to
compare the financial performance of SBI and ICICI Bank on the basis of ratios
such as credit deposit, net profit margin etc. The period of study taken is from the
year 2007-08 to 2011-12. The study found that SBI is performing well and
financially sound than ICICI Bank but in context of deposits and expenditure
ICICI bank has better managing efficiency than SBI.
Function
Banks as financial intermediaries are party to a transfer of funds from the ultimate
saver to the ultimate user of funds. Often, banks usefully alter the terms of the
contractual arrangement as the funds move through the transfer process in a
manner that supports and promotes economic activity. By issuing tradable claims
(bank deposits) against itself, the bank can add a flexibility to circulating media of
exchange in a manner that enhances the performance of the payments system.
These deposits may support the extension of personal credit to consumers (retail
banking) or short-term credit to nonfinancial businesses commercial (retail
banking) or short- term credit to nonfinancial businesses (commercial banking).
If so, the bank aids
the management of liquidity, thus promoting household consumption and
commerce. By facilitating the collection of funds from a large number of small
savers, each for a short period, the bank promotes the pooling of funds to lend out
in larger denominations for longer periods to those seeking to finance investment
in larger capital projects. Financing investment may take the form of underwriting
issues of securities (investment banking) or lending against real estate (mortgage
banking). By specializing in the assessment of risk, the bank can monitor borrower
performance; by diversifying across investment projects, the bank minimizes some
types of risk and promotes the allocation of funds to those endeavors with the
greatest economic potential. By extending trade credit internationally (merchant
banking), the bank can facilitate international trade and commerce. As one last
example, by lending to other banks in times of external pressures on liquidity, the
bank can manage core liquidity in the financial system, thus potentially stabilizing
prices and output (central banking).
To discharge its various functions, banks of all types manage highly leveraged
portfolios of financial assets and liabilities. Some of the most crucial questions for
the banking industry and state regulators center on questions of how best to
manage the portfolio of deposit banks, given the vital role of these banks in
extending commercial credit and enabling payments. With bank capital (roughly
equal to the net value of its assets after deduction of its liabilities) but a small
fraction of total assets, bank solvency is particularly vulnerable to credit risk,
market risk, and liquidity risk. An increase in non-performing loans, a drop in the
market price of assets, or a shortage of cash reserves that forces a distress sale of
assets to meet depositors' demand can each, if transpiring over a period of time too
short for the bank to manage the losses, threaten bank solvency.
ORIGINS OF MODERN BANKING
The modern banking industry, offering a wide range of financial services, has a
relatively recent history, Clements of banking have been in existence for centuries,
however. The idea of offering safe storage of wealth and extending credit to
facilitate trade has its roots in the early practices of receiving deposits of objects of
wealth (gold, cattle, and grain, for example), making loans, changing money from
one currency to another, and testing coins for purity and weight.
The innovation of fractional reserve banking early in this history permitted greater
profitability (with funds used to acquire income earning assets rather than held as
idle cash reserves) but exposed the deposit bank to a unique risk when later paired
with the requirement of converting deposits into currency on demand at par, since
the demand at any particular moment may exceed actual reserves. Douglas Diamond
and Philip Dybvig have, for example, shown in their 1983 article "Bank Runs,
Liquidity, and Deposit Insurance that in such an environment, a sufficiently large
withdrawal of bank deposits can threaten bank liquidity, spark a fear of
insolvency, and thus trigger a bank run.
Over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the industry
transformed from a system composed of individual moneylenders financially
supporting merchant trade and commerce, as well as royalty acquiring personal
debt to finance colonial expansion, into a network of joint-stock banks with a
national
debt under the control and management of the state. The Bank of England, for
example, as one of the oldest central banks, was a joint-stock bank
20initially owned by London's commercial interests and had as its primary purpose
the financing of the state's imperial activities by taxation and the implementing of
the permanent loan. This period was also marked by several experiments with
bank notes (with John Law's experiment in France in 1719-1720 among the most
infamous) and the emergence of the check as simplified version of the bill of
exchange
Canara Bank has covered a niche for itself in providing IT based service with
100%computerisation of the branches. The bank provides a wide array of services,
such as networked ATM's anywhere banking, telebanking, remote access
terminals, internet and mobile banking, debit cards etc.
For the year 2004-2005 canara bank had the highest net profit (Rs.110crocre) among
nationalized banks, with significant improvement in capital adequacy ratio
(12.78%) and asset quality (net NPA ration of 1.88%). Mysore canara bank
regional office (CBROM) was upgraded from regional office on April 1998. The
functions of circle office have been laid down by the bank. However, on account
of changing times, a review of these functions has been made, rather than
replicating existing ones. Sections at regional offices will look for policy support
from head office. All operational and administrative work relation to their
functions shall be handled by the respective sections within the policy parameters
set out by head office. Mysore canara bank regional office has a network of 111
level branches scattered over 4 districts namely Mysore, Mandy, C.H nagar,
Hassan. In addition to these five currencies chest are functioning in all four
districts catered to the cash requirements of these branches.

DATA ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION
Data Analysis and Interpretations
Data analysis and interpretations is the main heart of the study. It is the process of
inspecting, cleansing and transforming and modelling data with the goal of
discovering useful information, suggestion, conclusion and supporting decision
making. For this purpose, secondary sources are mainly used in this study. The
collection of secondary data was done by examination of relevant information
from the companies already published sources. The main tool used for data
analysis and interpretation is ratio analysis.
The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial analysis. It is the
process of establishing and interpreting various ratios. The ratio analysis is used to
study the liquidity, profitability and solvency position of the company. It is with
the help of ratios that the financial statements can be analyzed more clearly and
decision making can be made from such analysis.

FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS
AND CONCLUSION
5.1 Findings
1. The current ratio of the bank not in a good position because it does not maintain
idle ratio. Under current ratio, we have taken current assets as cash and balance
with reserve bank, balance with banks money at call and short notice, investments
and advances and current liabilities as deposits. The ideal ratio of current ratio is
2:1.
2. The banks absolute liquid ratio is in low rate. In the year 2019 it shows the
lowest ratio that is 0.09, then in the year 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020 it is above
0.10.
3. The debt equity ratio reveals that the debt equity of the company is trying to
maintain a satisfactory level. In 2016 and 2017 the ratio is 0.8 and in the year
2018, 2019 and 2020 the ratio is 1:1.
4. The proprietary ratio shows that the company is having a low ratio and it is far
away from its ideal ratio that is 0.5:1. The low ratio indicates that there will be
higher risk to the creditors. A low ratio indicates that the firm is more dependent
on creditors on its working capital.
5. The total liability to total asset ratio is quite not satisfactory. The company is
having more debt than the total assets. From the year 2016 to 2020 it shows 0.8
that is above the ideal ratio (0.5:1). This reveals that the company's assets are
financed through debt and shows higher financial risk.
6. The company is not having sufficient return on capital employed. In the year
3
2016, 2018 and 2020 it has incurred net profit before interest and tax but still
shows a lower ROI, and in the year 2017 and 2019, it has incurred net loss.
Overall, the
4
company's profitability is low and shows that there is a low efficient use of capital
employed.
7. The company is not having sufficient return on shareholders fund. In the year
2016, 2018 and 2020 it has incurred net profit but still it is below the ideal ratio.
Overall, the company's profitability is low and indicates low ratio which indicates
that less utilization of funds and lower productivity.
8. The company is not having sufficient return on assets. It is far away from the
ideal ratio that is 5%, and the company is having low ratio indicates that they are
not able to make maximum use of their assets for getting more profit.
9. The company is having sufficient working capital in all years. In the year 2018
it shows the highest working capital and in the year 2017 the working capital is
lowest. In all these five years it shows a positive level of working capital that
means that the currents assets are more than the current liabilities.
10. During the year 2016 and 2017 the fixed asset increased by 3.38% and the
balance with other banks increased by 35.27%. Advances decreased by 1.60%.
11. During the year 2017 and 2018 the fixed asset decreased by 0.288% and there
was capital increase by 10%. Advances increased by 5.33%.
12. During the year 2018 and 2019 the fixed asset increased by 16% and there was
capital increase by 22.76%. While the balances with other banks decreased by
27.97%.

13. During the year 2019 and 2020 the fixed asset increased by 1.16% and there
was capital increase by 2.76%. While the balances with other banks
increased by 30.18%.
5.2 Suggestions:
Bank may improve current assets to maintain the satisfactory level, bank
should try to increase its current assets twice above current liability.
Return on assets ratio should be maintained at higher level because it is
beneficial the company
It is advisable that the company has to earn more profits by efficient use of
capital employed.

5.3 Conclusion:
Canara bank is one of the nationalized banks in the country. The present study was
conducted with main objective of analyzing the financial performance of Canara
bank and for this purpose I have taken five years financial statements This
included analyzing the working capital management, liquidity, profitability and
solvency position of Canara Bank. The study reveals that the liquidity position and
solvency position is not that much satisfactory. The study also indicates that they
have incurred low profitability in the last five years. The working capital
management of the company is in a good position. But still the bank runs in a good
manner and the overall performance of the company is satisfactory.
