Unit II

Calculate the trend percentages from the following figures of Priya Enterprises taking 1995 as the base and interpret them.

To calculate the trend percentages, we use the following formula:

[ \text{Trend Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Current Year Figure}}{\text{Base Year Figure}} \right) \times 100 ]

Using 1995 as the base year, the trend percentages for sales, stock, and profit before tax for Priya Enterprises are calculated as follows:

Year	Sales	Stock	Profit Before Tax
1995	100%	100%	100%
1996	(2340/1881) × 100 = 124.40%	(781/709) × 100 = 110.15%	(435/321) × 100 = 135.51%
1997	(2655/1881) × 100 = 141.12%	(816/709) × 100 = 115.10%	(458/321) × 100 = 142.68%
1998	(3021/1881) × 100 = 160.57%	(944/709) × 100 = 133.13%	(527/321) × 100 = 164.17%
1999	(3768/1881) × 100 = 200.21%	(1154/709) × 100 = 162.73%	(672/321) × 100 = 209.03%

Interpretation:

1. Sales: There is a consistent increase in sales from 1995 to 1999, with the trend percentage rising from 100% to 200.21%. This indicates robust growth in sales over the period.

Unit III

Given the following information from XYZ Corporation's balance sheet, calculate the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio).

• Current Assets: ₹120,000
• Inventory: ₹40,000
• Current Liabilities: ₹80,000

Current Ratio: [ \text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} = \frac{₹120,000}{₹80,000} = 1.5 ]

Quick Ratio: [ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets} - \text{Inventory}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} = \frac{₹120,000 - ₹40,000}{₹80,000} = 1 ]

Interpretation:

• The current ratio of 1.5 indicates that the company has ₹1.50 in current assets for every ₹1 of current liabilities, suggesting a reasonable level of liquidity.
• The quick ratio of 1 indicates that the company can meet its short-term obligations without relying on the sale of inventory, implying adequate short-term financial health.

From ABC Ltd.’s financial statements, calculate the Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE).

• Net Income: ₹50,000
• Sales: ₹200,000
• Total Assets: ₹300,000

• Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): ₹180,000
• Average Inventory: ₹30,000
• Net Sales: ₹240,000
• Average Receivables: ₹40,000

Inventory/Stock Turnover Ratio: [ \text{Inventory Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{COGS}}{\text{Average Inventory}} = \frac{₹180,000}{₹30,000} = 6 ]

Debtor Turnover Ratio: [ \text{Debtor Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{Net Sales}}{\text{Average Receivables}} = \frac{₹240,000}{₹40,000} = 6 ]

Interpretation:

• The debtor turnover ratio of 6 implies that the company collects its receivables 6 times a year, indicating effective credit management.

Explain the importance of liquidity ratios in financial analysis.

Liquidity ratios are critical in financial analysis because they assess a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. These ratios include:

1. Current Ratio: Measures the ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets. A higher current ratio indicates better liquidity.
2. Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio): Excludes inventory from current assets, providing a stricter measure of liquidity. It shows the company's capacity to pay off short-term liabilities without relying on inventory sales.
3. Cash Ratio: Focuses on the most liquid assets, cash and cash equivalents, indicating the company's immediate liquidity position.

Importance:

• Ensuring Solvency: High liquidity ratios assure creditors and investors that the company can meet its short-term obligations.
• Operational Efficiency: Adequate liquidity ensures smooth business operations without disruptions due to cash flow shortages.
• Creditworthiness: Good liquidity ratios enhance the company's credit rating, making it easier to secure loans and attract investors.
• Financial Stability: Strong liquidity positions the company to handle unforeseen expenses and take advantage of unexpected opportunities.

Discuss the significance of the Debt-to-Equity Ratio and what it indicates about a company's financial structure.

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio (D/E Ratio) measures the proportion of a company's debt to its shareholders' equity. It is calculated as follows:

[ \text{D/E Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Debt}}{\text{Total Equity}} ]

Significance:

1. Leverage Assessment: The D/E ratio indicates the extent to which a company is financed by debt versus equity. A higher ratio suggests greater leverage and potential financial risk.
2. Risk Evaluation: High leverage increases the risk of financial distress, especially during economic downturns, as debt obligations must be met regardless of business performance.
3. Investor Insight: Investors use the D/E ratio to assess the financial health and risk profile of a company. A lower ratio generally indicates a more conservative financial structure with less risk.
4. Cost of Capital: Companies with high D/E ratios may face higher borrowing costs due to perceived risk, affecting profitability.
5. Growth Potential: While high leverage can amplify returns during good times, it also increases vulnerability. Companies must balance growth ambitions with financial stability.

Unit V

XYZ Corporation manufactures a product that sells for ₹50 per unit. The variable cost per unit is ₹30 and the fixed costs for the year are ₹100,000. Calculate the breakeven point in units and sales rupees.

**Breakeven

Point in Units:**

[ \text{Breakeven Point (Units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Selling Price per Unit} - \text{Variable Cost per Unit}} ] [ \text{Breakeven Point (Units)} = \frac{₹100,000}{₹50 - ₹30} = 5,000 \text{ units} ]

Breakeven Point in Sales Rupees:

[ \text{Breakeven Point (Sales)} = \text{Breakeven Point (Units)} \times \text{Selling Price per Unit} ] [ \text{Breakeven Point (Sales)} = 5,000 \times ₹50 = ₹250,000 ]

DEF Inc. sells a product for ₹80 per unit. The variable cost per unit is ₹50 and the fixed costs are ₹120,000. Calculate the contribution margin per unit and the breakeven point in units.

Contribution Margin per Unit:

[ \text{Contribution Margin per Unit} = \text{Selling Price per Unit} - \text{Variable Cost per Unit} ] [ \text{Contribution Margin per Unit} = ₹80 - ₹50 = ₹30 ]

Breakeven Point in Units:

[ \text{Breakeven Point (Units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Contribution Margin per Unit}} ] [ \text{Breakeven Point (Units)} = \frac{₹120,000}{₹30} = 4,000 \text{ units} ]

LMN Corporation sells a product for ₹200 per unit. The variable cost per unit is ₹120 and the fixed costs are ₹160,000. The company wants to achieve a target profit of ₹40,000. Calculate the number of units that must be sold to achieve the desired profit and the sales dollars required to achieve the desired profit.

Number of Units to Achieve Desired Profit:

[ \text{Required Units} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs} + \text{Desired Profit}}{\text{Selling Price per Unit} - \text{Variable Cost per Unit}} ] [ \text{Required Units} = \frac{₹160,000 + ₹40,000}{₹200 - ₹120} = 2,500 \text{ units} ]

Sales Dollars to Achieve Desired Profit:

[ \text{Sales Required} = \text{Required Units} \times \text{Selling Price per Unit} ] [ \text{Sales Required} = 2,500 \times ₹200 = ₹500,000 ]

The sales director of a manufacturing company reports that next year he expects to sell 50,000 units of a particular product. The production manager consults the storekeeper and casts his figures as follows:

Production Budget and Materials Budget:

Opening Balances:

• Finished Product: 10,000 units
• Raw Material A: 12,000 units
• Raw Material B: 15,000 units

Closing Balances:

• Finished Product: 14,000 units
• Raw Material A: 13,000 units
• Raw Material B: 16,000 units

Calculation:

Production Budget: [ \text{Production Units} = \text{Expected Sales} + \text{Closing Finished Goods} - \text{Opening Finished Goods} ] [ \text{Production Units} = 50,000 + 14,000 - 10,000 = 54,000 \text{ units} ]

Materials Budget:

Raw Material A: [ \text{Required Units of A} = (\text{Production Units} \times 2) + \text{Closing Balance of A} - \text{Opening Balance of A} ] [ \text{Required Units of A} = (54,000 \times 2) + 13,000 - 12,000 = 109,000 \text{ units} ]

Raw Material B: [ \text{Required Units of B} = (\text{Production Units} \times 3) + \text{Closing Balance of B} - \text{Opening Balance of B} ] [ \text{Required Units of B} = (54,000 \times 3) + 16,000 - 15,000 = 163,000 \text{ units} ]
