INTRODUCTION
Financial ratios our Widely used for modelling purpose both by both by the practitioners
and researchers. the fonn involves the many interest in parties like the owners
management personal, suppliers, competitors, regulatory agencies and academics each
having their view in applying financial statement analysis in their evolutions
practitioners the financial ratios for instance to forecast the future success of the
companies while the researchers main interest has been to develop model exploiting this
ratios we need area of research involving the finance the historical observe the several
major themes in the financial analysis literature there is overlapping in the over slab
themes and they do not necessary coincide with that theoretically might be the best
founded areas .
Financial Management is the specific area of finance dealing with the financial decision
corporations make and the tool and analysis used to make the decisions the disciplines as
a whole may be divided between long term and short term decisions and techniques both
share the same goal of enhancing form value by ensuring that the return on capital
exceeds cost of capital without taking extensive financial risks.
Before understanding the meaning of analysis of financial statements it is necessary to
understand the meaning of analysis and financial statements.
Analysis means the establishing a meaningful relationship between various items of the
two financial statements with each of other in such a way that a conclusion is drawn by
financial statements be mean to statements first profit and loss accounts and second
balance sheet this are the prepare at the end ofgiven period of time they are indicators
ofprofit ability and financial soundness of the business concerns.
Thus analysis of financial statements means the establishing meaningful relationship
between various items of the two financial statements that is the income statements and
position statement.
After preparation of the financial statements, one may be interested in a novel the positions
Of an enterprise from different points of view this can be done by analysing the financial
statement with the help of different tools of the analysis as the ratio analysis åinds flow
analysis each cash flow analysis comparative statement analysis et cetera hair I have done
financial analysis by ratios in this process a meaningful relationship is established between
two or more accounting
Ratio analysis is a quantitative method of gaining insight into a company's liquidity,
operational efficiency, and profitability by studying its financial statements such as the
balance sheet and income statement. Ratio analysis is a cornerstone of fundamental equity
analysis.
Investors and analysts employ ratio analysis to evaluate the financial health of companies by
scrutinizing past and current financial statements. Comparative data can demonstrate how a
company is performing over time and can be used to estimate likely future performance.
This data can also compare a company's financial standing with industry averages while
measuring how a company stacks up against others within the same sector.
8
Investors can use ratio analysis easily, and every figure needed to calculate the ratios is
found on a company's financial statements.
Ratios are comparison points for companies. They evaluate stocks within an industry.
Likewise, they measure a company today against its historical numbers. In most cases, it is
also important to understand the variables driving ratios as management has the flexibility
to, at times, alter its strategy to make it's stock and company ratios more attractive.
Generally, ratios are typically not used in isolation but rather in combination with other
ratios. Having a good idea of the ratios in each of the four previously mentioned categories
will give you a comprehensive view of the company from different angles and help you spot
potential red flags.
1. Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios measure a company's ability to pay off its short-term debts as they become
due, using the company's current or quick assets. Liquidity ratios include the current ratio,
quick ratio, and working capital ratio.
2. Solvency Ratios
Also called financial leverage ratios, solvency ratios compare a company's debt levels with
its assets, equity, and earnings, to evaluate the likelihood of a company staying afloat over
the long haul, by paying off its long-term debt as well as the interest on its debt. Examples of
solvency ratios include: debt-equity ratios, debt-assets ratios, and interest coverage ratios.
3. Profitability Ratios
These ratios convey how well a company can generate profits from its operations. Profit
margin, return on assets, return on equity, return on capital employed, and gross margin
ratios are all examples of profitability ratios.
4. Efficiency Ratios
Also called activity ratios, efficiency ratios evaluate how efficiently a company uses its
assets and liabilities to generate sales and maximize profits. Key efficiency ratios include:
turnover ratio, inventory turnover, and days' sales in inventory.
5. Coverage Ratios
Coverage ratios measure a company's ability to make the interest payments and other
obligations associated with its debts. Examples include the times interest earned ratio and
the debt-service coverage ratio.
9
For example, if the average P/E ratio of all companies in the S&P 500 index is 20, and the
majority of companies have P/Es between 15 and 25, a stock with a P/E ratio of seven would
be considered undervalued. In contrast, one with a P/E ratio of 50 would be considered
overvalued. The former may trend upwards in the future, while the latter may trend
downwards until each aligns with its intrinsic value.
The fundamental basis of ratio analysis is to compare multiple figures and derive a
calculated value. By itself, that value may hold little to no value. Instead, ratio analysis must
often be applied to a comparable to determine whether or a company's financial health is
strong, weak, improving, or deteriorating.
To perform ratio analysis over time, a company selects a single financial ratio, then
calculates that ratio on a fixed cadence (i.e. calculating its quick ratio every month). Be
mindful of seasonality and how temporarily fluctuations in account balances may impact
month-over-month ratio calculations. Then, a company analyzes how the ratio has changed
over time (whether it is improving, the rate at which it is changing, and whether the
company wanted the ratio to change over time).
Benchmarks are also frequently implemented by external parties such lenders. Lending
institutions often set requirements for financial health as part of covenants in loan
documents. Covenants form part of the loan's terms and conditions and companies must
maintain certain metrics or the loan may be recalled.
10
If these benchmarks are not met, an entire loan may be callable or a company may be faced
with an adjusted higher rate of interest to compensation for this risk. An example of a
benchmark set by a lender is often the debt service coverage ratio which measures a
company's cash flow against it's debt balances.
Net profit margin, often referred to simply as profit margin or the bottom line, is a ratio that
investors use to compare the profitability of companies within the same sector. It's
calculated by dividing a company's net income by its revenues. Instead of dissecting
financial statements to compare how profitable companies are, an investor can use this ratio
instead. For example, suppose company ABC and company DEF are in the same sector with
profit margins of 50% and 10%, respectively. An investor can easily compare the two
companies and conclude that ABC converted 50% of its revenues into profits, while DEF
only converted 10%.
Using the companies from the above example, suppose ABC has a P/E ratio of 100, while
DEF has a P/E ratio of 10. An average investor concludes that investors are willing to pay
$100 per $1 of earnings ABC generates and only $10 per $1 of earnings DEF generates.
Ratio analysis is important because it may portray a more accurate representation of the state
of operations for a company. Consider a company that made $1 billion of revenue last
quarter. Though this seems ideal, the company might have had a negative gross profit
margin, a decrease in liquidity ratio metrics, and lower earnings compared to equity than in
prior periods. Static numbers on their own may not fully explain how a company is
performing.
Consider the inventory turnover ratio that measures how quickly a company converts
inventory to a sale. A company can track its inventory turnover over a full calendar year to
see how quickly it converted goods to cash each month. Then, a company can explore the
reasons certain months lagged or why certain months exceeded expectations.
There is often an overwhelming amount of data and information useful for a company to
make decisions. To make better use of their information, a company may compare several
numbers together. This process called ratio analysis allows a company to gain better insights
to how it is performing over time, against competition, and against internal goals. Ratio
analysis is usually rooted heavily with financial metrics, though ratio analysis can be
performed with non-financial data.
11
Ratio analysis is a technique for evaluating financial statements or, to say, for detailed
analysis of the financial statements presented by the firm. The analysis or evaluation is done
to form an opinion about the various aspects of the organization, like profitability, short and
long-term liquidity, efficiency, potential, etc. Moreover, this analysis is done and utilized by
both internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders primarily include managers.
External stakeholders include creditors, investors, lenders, etc.
Financial ratios are created with the use of numerical values taken from financial
statements to gain meaningful information about a company. The numbers found on a
company’s financial statements – balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement –
are used to perform quantitative analysis and assess a company’s liquidity, leverage, growth,
margins, profitability, rates of return, valuation, and more.
Determining individual financial ratios per period and tracking the change in their values
over time is done to spot trends that may be developing in a company. For example, an
increasing debt-to-asset ratio may indicate that a company is overburdened with debt and
may eventually be facing default risk.
Comparing financial ratios with that of major competitors is done to identify whether a
company is performing better or worse than the industry average. For example, comparing
the return on assets between companies helps an analyst or investor to determine which
company is making the most efficient use of its assets.
Users of financial ratios include parties external and internal to the company:
Liquidity ratios are financial ratios that measure a company’s ability to repay both short- and
long-term obligations. Common liquidity ratios include the following:
The current ratio measures a company’s ability to pay off short-term liabilities with current
assets:
The acid-test ratio measures a company’s ability to pay off short-term liabilities with quick
assets:
The cash ratio measures a company’s ability to pay off short-term liabilities with cash and
cash equivalents:
12
The operating cash flow ratio is a measure of the number of times a company can pay off
current liabilities with the cash generated in a given period:
Leverage ratios measure the amount of capital that comes from debt. In other words, leverage
financial ratios are used to evaluate a company’s debt levels. Common leverage ratios include
the following:
The debt ratio measures the relative amount of a company’s assets that are provided from
debt:
The debt to equity ratio calculates the weight of total debt and financial liabilities against
shareholders’ equity:
The interest coverage ratio shows how easily a company can pay its interest expenses:
The debt service coverage ratio reveals how easily a company can pay its debt obligations:
Efficiency Ratios
Efficiency ratios, also known as activity financial ratios, are used to measure how well a
company is utilizing its assets and resources. Common efficiency ratios include:
The asset turnover ratio measures a company’s ability to generate sales from assets:
The inventory turnover ratio measures how many times a company’s inventory is sold and
replaced over a given period:
The accounts receivable turnover ratio measures how many times a company can turn
receivables into cash over a given period:
13
The days sales in inventory ratio measures the average number of days that a company holds
on to inventory before selling it to customers:
Profitability Ratios
The gross margin ratio compares the gross profit of a company to its net sales to show how
much profit a company makes after paying its cost of goods sold:
The operating margin ratio, sometimes known as the return on sales ratio, compares the
operating income of a company to its net sales to determine operating efficiency:
The return on assets ratio measures how efficiently a company is using its assets to generate
profit:
Market value ratios are used to evaluate the share price of a company’s stock. Common
market value ratios include the following:
The book value per share ratio calculates the per-share value of a company based on the
equity available to shareholders:
Book value per share ratio = (Shareholder’s equity – Preferred equity) / Total common shares
outstanding
The dividend yield ratio measures the amount of dividends attributed to shareholders relative
to the market value per share:
The earnings per share ratio measures the amount of net income earned for each share
outstanding:
The price-earnings ratio compares a company’s share price to its earnings per share:
14
A ratio is a mathematical number calculated as a reference to relationship of two or more
numbers and can be expressed as a fraction, proportion, percentage and a number of times.
When the number is calculated by referring to two accounting numbers derived from the
financial statements, it is termed as accounting ratio. It needs to be observed that accounting
ratios exhibit relationship, if any, between accounting numbers extracted from financial
statements. Ratios are essentially derived numbers and their efficacy depends a great deal
upon the basic numbers from which they are calculated. Further, a ratio must be calculated
using numbers which are meaningfully correlated.
Objectives of Ratio Analysis: Ratio analysis is indispensable part of interpretation of results
revealed by the financial statements. It provides users with crucial financial information and
points out the areas which require investigation. Ratio analysis is a technique which involves
regrouping of data by application of arithmetical relationships, though its interpretation is a
complex matter. It requires a fine understanding of the way and the rules used for preparing
financial statements. Once done effectively,
it provides a lot of information which helps the analyst:
1. To know the areas of the business which need more attention; 2. To know about the
potential areas which can be improved with the effort in the desired direction; 3. To provide a
deeper analysis of the profitability, liquidity, solvency and efficiency levels in the business; 4.
To provide information for making cross-sectional analysis by comparing the performance
with the best industry standards; and 5. To provide information derived from financial
statements useful for making projections and estimates for the future.
Importance (or Advantages) of Ratio Analysis:
1.Helps to understand efficacy of decisions: The ratio analysis helps you to understand
whether the business firm has taken the right kind of operating, investing and financing
decisions. It indicates how far they have helped in improving the performance. 2. Simplify
complex figures and establish relationships: Ratios help in simplifying the complex
accounting figures and bring out their relationships. They help summarise the financial
information effectively and assess the managerial efficiency, firm’s credit worthiness, earning
capacity, etc. 3. Helpful in comparative analysis: The ratios are not be calculated for one year
only. When many year figures are kept side by side, they help a great deal in exploring the
trends visible in the business. The knowledge of trend helps in making projections about the
business which is a very useful feature. 4. Identification of problem areas: Ratios help
business in identifying the problem areas as well as the bright areas of the business. Problem
areas would need more attention and bright areas will need polishing to have still better
results. 5. Enables SWOT analysis: Ratios help a great deal in explaining the changes
occurring in the business. The information of change helps the management a great deal in
understanding the current threats and opportunities and allows business to do its own SWOT
(Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat) analysis. 6. Various comparisons: Ratios help
comparisons with certain bench marks to assess as to whether firm’s performance is better or
otherwise. For this purpose, the profitability, liquidity, solvency, etc. of a business, may be
compared: (i) over a number of accounting periods with itself (Intra-firm Comparison/Time
Series Analysis), (ii) with other business enterprises (Inter-firm Comparison/Cross sectional
Analysis) and (iii) with standards set for that firm/industry (comparison with standard (or
industry expectations). Limitations of Ratio Analysis: 1. Limitations of Accounting Data:
15
Accounting data give an unwarranted impression of precision and finality. In fact, accounting
data “reflect a combination of recorded facts, accounting conventions and personal
judgements which affect them materially. For example, profit of the business is not a precise
and final figure. It is merely an opinion of the accountant based on application of accounting
policies. The soundness of the judgement necessarily depends on the competence and
integrity of those who make them and, on their adherence, to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles and Conventions”. Thus, the financial statements may not reveal the true state of
affairs of the enterprises and so the ratios will also not give the true picture.
2. Ignores Price-level Changes: The financial accounting is based on stable money
measurement principle. It implicitly assumes that price level changes are either non-existent
or minimal. But the truth is otherwise. We are normally living in inflationary economies
where the power of money declines constantly. A change in the price-level makes analysis of
financial statement of different accounting years meaningless because accounting records
ignore changes in value of money. 3. Ignore Qualitative Aspects: Accounting provides
information about quantitative (or monetary) aspects of business. But sometimes qualitative
factors may surmount the quantitative aspects. The calculations derived from the ratio
analysis under such circumstances may get distorted. For E.g., though credit may be granted
to a customer on the basis of information regarding his financial position, yet the grant of
credit ultimately depends on debtor’s character, honesty, past record and his managerial
ability.
4. Variations in Accounting Practices: There are differing accounting policies for valuation of
inventory, calculation of depreciation, treatment of intangibles Assets definition of certain
financial variables etc., available for various aspects of business transactions. These
variations leave a big question mark on the cross-sectional analysis. As there are variations in
accounting practices followed by different business enterprises, a valid comparison of their
financial statements is not possible. 5. Forecasting: Forecasting of future trends based only on
historical analysis is not feasible. Proper forecasting requires consideration of non-financial
factors as well. 6. Lack of ability to resolve problems: Their role is essentially indicative and
of whistle blowing and not providing a solution to the problem.

ratios. In 1930, there were two significant developments in this decade relating directly to the
ratio analysis. In 1933, Foulken identified fourteen ratios for comparison of various firms or
company. In 1940, ratio development was on the base of direct and indirect implementation.
After 1940 to date, the development of ratio analysis in the universal has continued along
various paths. In Australia, ratio-especially the current ratio- have been subjected to rigorous
scrutiny in order to determine their logicality and they have been used as the basic
ingredients of an application of the scientific method to financial management. (RJChambers,
August, 1948) In England, on other side, a very distinct ‘common thread’ in ratio analysis has
developed. The British Institute of Management has generated interest in ratio as tool for
inter-firm comparisons. In general, ratio analysis in England is developing within a
management orientation (R.G.H.Nelson, 1960)
In France; interest in ratio was in systematic framework like British idea of exchanging
information between firms. (JeanNataf, 1957)In India, there appears to have been extensive
borrowing from American sources of not only types of ratio but their criteria as well.
(R.K.Dalal, 1956) (N.N.Pai, 1964) In Japan, aggregate statistics of a large number of
financial ratios are available by broad industry groupings and by size of firm categories.
(Economic Statistics of Japan, 1963) In Russia and China, working capital turnover and
return on investment ratios are used to comparisons and measurement. And after the step by
step, every country has developed their ratios as interest and requirement for firm analysis.
James O. Horrigan studied on financial ratio analysis. Researcher has briefly explained
Liquidity Ratio, Solvency Ratio, Capital Turnover Ratio, Profit Margin Ratio and Return on
Investment with illustration. (Horrigan, July-1965) James M. Patton studied on ratio analysis
and efficient markets in introductory financial accounting. Researcher has presented potential
contributions of ratio analysis. (Patton, July1982) Kent John Chabotar studied on Financial
Ratio Analysis Comes to Non-profits. Researcher has explained current ratio, quick ratio,
available funds ratio, debt-equity ratio, debt-service ratio, sources of fund, uses of funds and
net operating ratio with illustrative explanation. (Chabotar, March-April, 1989) Martin L.
Leibowitz studied on the corporate finance approach of used the return parameters of the
unlevered company with target P/E. Researcher presented ROA and P/E vs. Debt Ratio for
Specified Levered ROE. (Martin, Nov-Dec, 2002) M.I.Gonzalez-Bravo studied on prior ratio
analysis procedure to improve data envelopment analysis for performance measurement;
researcher introduced Data Envelopment Analysis for six ratios; profit/fixed assets,
profit/total assets, value-added/total assets, profit/labour, value-added/fixed assets, sales
revenue/fixed assets and sales revenue/total assets were used. (Gonzalez, Sep-2007) Radu
Marginean and others have used ratios of profit and loss account to performance analysis
with the data of 2006 to 2013; using large enterprises with more than 700 employees of
Romania. (RaduMarginean, 2015) There are so many researches done by using various ratios
as per requirement of study. Researcher has tried to list some of the formulas in next topic.
Review of LiteratureReview of Literature refers to the collection of the results of the various
researches relating to the present study. It takes into consideration the research of the
previous researchers which are related to the present research in any way. Here are the
reviews of the previous researches related with the present study:
Bollen (1999) conducted a study on Ratio Variables on which he found three different uses of
ratio variables in aggregate data analysis: (1) as measures of theoretical concepts, (2) as a
means to control an extraneous factor, and (3) as a correction for heteroscedasticity. In the
use of ratios as indices of concepts, a problem can arise if it is regressed on other indices or
variables that contain a common component. For example, the relationship between two per
capita measures may be confounded with the common population component in each
variable. Regarding the second use of ratios, only under exceptional conditions will ratio

variables be a suitable means of controlling an extraneous factor. Finally, the use of ratios to
correct for heteroscedasticity is also often misused. Only under special conditions will the
common form forgers soon with ratio variables correct for heteroscedasticity.
Alternatives to ratios for each of these cases are discussed and evaluated.
Cooper (2000) conducted a study on Financial Intermediation on which he observed that the
quantitative behaviour of business-cycle models in which the intermediation process acts
either as a source of fluctuations or as a propagator of real shocks. In neither case do we find
convincing evidence that the intermediation process is an important element of aggregate
fluctuations. For an economy driven by intermediation shocks, consumption is not
smoother than output, investment is negatively correlated with output, variations in the
capital stock are quite large, and interest rates are procyclical. The model economy thus fails
to match unconditional moments for the U.S. economy. We also structurally estimate
parameters of a model economy in which intermediation and productivity shocks are
present, allowing for the intermediation process to propagate the real shock. The
unconditional correlations are closer to those observed only when the intermediation shock is
relatively unimportant
Gerrard (2001) conducted a study on The Financial Performance on which he found that Using ratio
analysis the financial performance of a sample of independent single-plant engineering firms in
Leeds is examined with regard to structural and locational differences in establishments. A number of
determinants of performance are derived and tested against the constructed data base. Inner-city
engineering firms perform relatively less well on all indicators of performance compared with outer-
city firms. The study illustrates the importance of using different measures of performance since this
affects the magnitude and significance of the results. Financial support is necessary to sustain
engineering in the inner city in the long run
Schmidgall (2003) conducted a study on Financial Analysis Using the Statement of Cash Flows on
which he observed that Managers use many financial ratios to judge the health of their
businesses. With the recent requirement of a statement of cash flow (SCF) by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, managers now have a new set of ratios that will give a realistic picture
of the business. The ratios include cash flow-interest coverage, cash flow-dividend
coverage, and cash flow from operations to cash flow in investments. These ratios are
particularly useful because they show changes in a hotel or restaurant's cash position over time, rather
than at a given moment, as is the case with many other ratios.
Murinde (2003) ) conducted study on Corporate Financial Structures on which he observed that the
financial structure of a sample of Indian non-financial companies using a new and unique dataset
consisting of a panel containing the published accounts of almost 900 companies that published a full
set of accounts every year during 1989-99. In a new departure in the literature, the dataset includes
quoted and unquoted companies. We compare the sources-uses approach to analysing company
financial structures with the asset-liability approach. We use both approaches to characterize and to
compare the financial structures of Indian companies over time; between quoted and unquoted
companies; and between companies which belong to a business group and those that do not. Finally,
we compare our results to those obtained previously for India and for the industrial countries.
McMahon (2005) conducted a study on Financial Information on which he found that financial
statements mean little to the uninitiated. This paper, explains, in layman's terms, how
31
to understand financial information. It covers measures of profitability. The second article
will cover measures of company liquidity and the use of financial ratios. This paper continues to
explain how to interpret and understand financial information. It deals with measures of liquidity,
solvency and fund flows and describes how to establish standards against which a company's financial
ratios can be compared.
Lee (2008 conducted a study on Financial Risk on which he observed that Financial researchers,
including those concentrating on the lodging industry, use various financial risk measures for their
studies. Examples of those risk measures are beta, earnings variability, bankruptcy
probability, debt-to-equity ratio and book-to-market ratio. The purpose of this study is, first, to
descriptively investigate various financial risk measures used in the lodging financial literature by
performing factor analysis and identifying four distinct risk groups. Second, this study
examines the predictive ability of the four risk groups for lodging firm performance.
The findings of this study suggest that strategic and stock performance risk factors better represent a
lodging firm's financial risk than do bankruptcy and firm performance risk factors, and also, ROA
than ROE better estimates lodging firm performance in terms of their relationships with financial risk
factors.
Johnson (2009) conducted a study on Financial Ratio patterns on which he found that the
properties and characteristics of financial ratios have received considerable attention in recent years
with interest primarily focused on determining the predictive ability of financial ratios and related
financial data. Principal areas of investigation have included the prediction of corporate bond ratings ,
and the anticipation of financial impairment]. Related studies have examined the characteristics of
merged firms the differences in financial ratio averages among industries whether firms seek to
adjust their financial ratios toward industry averages the relationship between accounting-
determined and market-determined risk measures, and the influence of financial ratios on
analysts' judgments about impending bankruptcy The general conclusion to emerge from these
various research efforts is that a number of financial ratios have predictive and descriptive utility
when properly employed.43

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
34
Research methodology
Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It explains various steps
that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying the research problem.
Research process in which the researcher wishes to find out the end result for a given
problem and thus the solution helps in future course of action. The research has been defined
as” A careful investigation or enquiry through search for new facts in branch of knowledge “
For this study Descriptive method has been adopted for gaining insight into a company’s
liquidity, operational efficiency, and profitability by studying its financial statements such as
the balance sheet and income statement.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem it may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically so the research
methodology not only talks about research methods but also considered the logic behind the
method using the contacts of the research study.
To analyse the data, acquire from the primary as well as secondary sources of
financial statement analysis the scope of the study is defined as below in terms of
concept adopted and period under focus.
First the study of the financial statement analysis is confined only to axis bank Pvt
Ltd.
Secondly the study is based on the annual reports of the company for period of five
year past data
Research design
A research design is purely and simply the basic frame work or plan for a study that guides
the collection and analysis of the data. In financial analysis, the researcher adopted the
collection and analysis of the data.
Data collection
The required data for the study arc basically secondary in nature and the data are collected
from the auditor reports of the bank.
Primary Data
35
The primary data was collected mainly with the interactions and discussions with the bank
executives.
Secondary Data
Most of the calculation are made on financial statements of the bank and the bank
provided financial statement of 5 year.
Some of the information regarding or to the theoretical aspects where collected by
referring standard takes 10 through internet.
36
Profitability reflects the final result of business operations. There are two types of
profitability ratios: Profit margins ratios and rate of return 1 items. Profit margin ratios show
the relationship between profit and sales. The -two popular profit margin ratios are: gross
profit margin ratio and net profit margin ratio. Rate of return ratios reflects the relationship
between profit and investment. The important rate of return measures is: return on total
assets, earning power, and return on equity.
Financial solvency refers to the use of debt finance. While debt capital is a cheaper source of
finance, it is also a riskier source of finance. Solvency ratios help in assessing the risk arising
from the use of debt capital. Two types of ratios are commonly used to analyses financial
solvency: Structural ratios and coverage ratios. Structural ratios are based on the proportions
of debt and equity in the financial structure of the firm.
The important structural ratios are: debt-equity ratio and debt-assets ratio. Coverage ratios
show the relationship between debt servicing commitments and the sources for meeting these
burdens. The important coverage ratios are: interest coverage ratio, fixed charges coverage
ratio, and debt service coverage ratio.
Liquidity refers to the ability o f a firm to meet its obligations in the short run, usually one
year. Liquidity ratios are generally based on the relationship between current assets (The
sources for meeting short term obligations) and current liabilities.
Ratios Turnover ratios, also referred to as activity ratios or asset management ratios, measure
how efficiently the assets are employed by a firm. These ratios are based on the relationship
between the level of activity, represented by sales or cost of goods sold, and levels of various
assets. The important turnover ratios are: inventory turnover, average collection period,
receivables turnover, fixed assets turnover, and total assets turnover.
Activity Ratios Activity ratios are also known as efficiency ratios. These ratios measure how
efficiently the firm is using its resources like turnover of working capital and turnover of
fixed assets etc

Suggestions
bank should work more effectively toward earning their current assets balance.
They should improve there on line facilitates which have more preference these days.
They should attract people towards bank societies for their loan preferences as bank can earn more
assets.
To make people aware about the safe reasons, they should launch some advertisement plans to convey
the loan schemes to broader people and get things done.is can make them more assure.
Most of the people in today life-giving preference to this kind of finances so these bank should be
mare advance.
Axis bank Pvt ltd. should go ahead and for getting things done. They should make process simple

conclusion
this project has provided me with valuable in the generating cash flow statements and financial
statement. The knowledge I have gained about ratio analysis is applicable to daily business and
commerce activities. Completing the tasks for this project has not only improved my understanding of
the method, usefulness and importance of ratio analysis for evaluating a company’s performance but
also equipped me to prepare them in future situations based on my experience with this project, I have
reached the following conclusion.
If property analyse and interpreted, financial statements can provide valuable insight into the firms
performance. Analysis of financial statements ratio analysis is the of interest to lenders(a short term as
well as long term)investors, security analysis, managers and others, financial statement analysis may
be done for a variety of purpose, which may range from a simple analysis of the short term liquidity
position of the firm to a comprehensive assessment of the strength and weakness of the firm is various
areas. It is helpful in assessing corporate excellence, judging credit worthiness, forecasting bond
rating, predicting.
I have studied the attached balance sheet and the profit and loss accounts of axis bank private limited
(India) at axis bank for the limited time.
The ratio analysis are the responsibility of the company’s management the analysis and interpretation
of financial statements is essential to bring out the mystery behind the figure in financial statements.
the transaction of company, which have come to my notice. Have been within the powers of company.
Proper books of accounts require by low have been kept by the company in so far as it appears from
my observation of those books.
Proper return have been received from the company’s branches.
The balance sheet and profit and loss accounts are in agreement with the books of account.
