Preamble:
Kolhapur district has made speediest progress towards abundant production of
sugarcane on account of fertile soil, favorable climate, hardworking farmers & growing
beginning of 80es Kolhapur District witness such a bumper crop of sugar cane that even
after meeting the requirement of the existing factories a large quantity of sugar cane
remained surplus. Rather an additional land was come under irrigation due to new
irrigation projects such as Chandoli and Kalammawadi. Moreover it has been observed
that other food crops can not take root when sugarcane mushrooms the surrounding areas.
It being a cash crop, farmers also incline towards the cultivation of sugar cane.
This has resulted in soaring the sugar cane production. Even then existing sugar factories
and some of them implementing their expansion program could not have crushed the
This abstain a large number of non member came cultivator from crushing their
sugar cane in time and there interest was at stake. These circumstances necessitated the
acute need of one more sugar factory in co-operative sphere. Hence a meeting of cane
cultivators was called in the year 1981 and it was decided to establish “Jawahar Shetkari

Conceptual background
3.1 Introduction
Finance is needed to perform a firm’s production, marketing and other functions.
The actions of managers have financial consequences for the firm. It is, therefore
_______YCMOU______MBA Programme___________________________________9
________________________________________A Study of Financial Performance___
imperative that they know the importance of finance functions and there with their own
activities.
Finance involves the management of firm’s financial resources. A firm carries out
production and marketing activities to make profits and to generate wealth for further
growth. All business operations involves, use of financial resources e.g. acquiring new
equipment or replacing the old one in order to interpret financial reports prepared by the
Finance functions may require special skills. Managers should understand and
able to interpret financial statements, namely the balance sheet and the profit and loss
statement. They should also know how costs are estimated and allocated, how they help
in decision making and how they are related to profit. Managers must be familiar with the
What are financial statements? Why and how are they prepared? The overall
summarized in the financial statements balance sheet and profit and loss statements.
These statements may also prepare for divisions. They contain information on the firm’s
revenues, expenses, profit and loss, sources and uses of funds. Managers must know the

One can relate the financial variables given in financial statements in a meaningful way
which will suggest the action which one may have to initiate to improve the firm’s
financial condition.

analysis, so that certain ratios may be calculated to fit into that basic framework.
1. Stability ratio

4. Turnover ratio
5. Profitability ratio
6. Coverage ratio

Liquidity ratio:
Liquidity ratio measures the relationship between current assets and current
liabilities, and indicate the firm’s ability to honor its current obligations. Two common
Current ratio:
When we divided current assets by current liabilities you obtain the current ratio.
That is:
Current assets
Current ratio = ---------------------------
Current liabilities
Lenders generally consider 2:1 to be a desirable current ratio. By this norm, even
if half of the current assets are realized in cash, current obligations will be fully met. This
provides a 100% safety margin. The logic is based on the principle of conservatism. It
assumes that all current obligations have to be met immediately. Some lenders shw even
greater caution. The argue that out of current assets, inventories take longer to be
converted into cash. You have to first convert raw material into finished goods, sell it and
then realize cash from customers. They therefore, like to judge the firm’s liquidity after
Quick ratio:
When we divided current assets excluding inventories ( called quick assets) by
It is also called ‘acid test ratio’ or simply liquidity ratio. Lenders would be
_______YCMOU______MBA Programme___________________________________13
________________________________________A Study of Financial Performance___
Current ratio and quick ratio are a ready means of assessing a firm’s liquidity.
They are mostly used by creditors and lenders to ascertain the margin of safety. A firm’s
liquidity is in fact determined by the matching of cash flows – in & out. It may be having
difficulties with customers who do not pay or it may be stuck with slow moving
inventories. Another firm may be holding a smaller inventory but converting it into cash
faster. It may have customers who pay in time the firms point of view, it is much better to
have fast moving current assets and hold as few current assets as possible without
Solvency Ratios:
When a company borrows money, it creates a legal obligation to pay interest
regularly and repay the principle at maturity. On the other hand, payment of dividend to
shareholders is discretionary and share capital is not returnable. An owner thus assumes
the risk of business. A high amount of debt can, therefore, threaten the solvency of a firm.
We can relate shareholders funds and loan funds to assess the company’s dependence on
to the people money. The mix of share holders funds and loan funds represents the
company’s structure and therefore, solvency ratios are also called capital structure ratios.
_______YCMOU______MBA Programme___________________________________14
________________________________________A Study of Financial Performance___
In this ratio, debt means total loan funds and equity means net worth (share
capital + reserves, which are shareholder funds. Again lenders follow a norm of a debt
equity ratio 2:1; which means you can have borrowing twice the equity. A company will
be considered, risky fit exceeds this norm. Should you borrow accounts twice, your
firm’s equity funds, if some one is prepared to lend them to you? Obviously if it cannot
put borrowed funds to profitable use, you should not borrow. The debt equity ratio
provides a broad guideline for this. A cash flow analysis is needed to determine whether a

Interest coverage:
We have indicated that more than its debt ratio, it is the firm’s ability to pay interest
regularly which determines its solvency. Therefore, we can examine how many times a
firm’s earning cover its interest. We may require earnings to be at least twice the amount
_______YCMOU______MBA Programme___________________________________15
________________________________________A Study of Financial Performance___
of interest. This is because interest has to be paid in cash while earning may take time to
appear as cash.
Turnover ratios:
Shareholders funds and loan funds are invested in assets so that revenue could be
generated. A firm should, therefore, utilized its assets efficiently so that it can generate
maximum revenue. Turnover ratios are used to indicate the firm’s efficiency in managing
assets for generating revenue current assets are covered into sales and ultimately into
cash within a short period of time. The higher the speed with which these assets are
turned over into sales and cash, the better the performance of the company. Turnover

Net assets turnover = --------------------
Net assets
Net assets turnover indicates revenue generated for each rupee of net assets
investment. If assets are unutilized or underutilized, the firm will generate less revenue.
Inventory turnover:

Debtors turnover:
Like inventory debtors should also be turned over faster. We can obtain debtors

Debtors arise when a company sells or credit. A higher debtors turnover implies
that the company is realizing its sales faster. We should also calculate the collection

should reflect incomes of both shareholders and lenders. Profit before interest and tax
