INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Financial Management is an integral past of overall Management is

not a totally independent area. It draws on related disciplines and field of

study such as economics, accounting. These disciplines are interrelated.

These are key reference among them.

Financial management refers to its relationship with closely related

field, it function, scope and objectives. Finance is an academic discipline has

undergone fundamental changes in scope and coverage. In the easily years of

its evaluation it was treated synonymously with the rising of funds. In the

current literature pertaining to financial management in addition to

procurement of funds efficient use of resources is universally recognized.

DEFINITIONS:

Ezra Solomon has defined “The financial management deals with the

efficient use of an important economic resource namely capital funds.”

“Financial management is the activity concerned with the planning

raising, controlling and administrating the funds used in business.”

-Guthman and Dougall.

“Financial management is that managerial activity which is concerned

with the planning and controlling of the firm’s financial resources”.

-I.M.PANDAY.

“Financial management is concerned with the efficient use of an

important economic resource namely capital funds.”

-EZRA SOLOMAN.

Page 8: Ratio Analysis

“Financial management is the operation activity of a business that is

responsible for obtaining and effectively utilizing the funds necessary for

efficient operations.”

-JOSEPH AND MASSIE.

SCOPE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

The approach to the scope and the functions of financial management

is divided for the purpose of expositions into two broad categories.

A) Traditional Approach:

Traditional approach to the finance function relates to the initial stages

of its evolution during 1920’s and 1930’s when term corporate finance was

used to describe in the academic world today as the financial management.

The approach was focused on procurement of long-term funds. In that

issue allocation of funds which is so important today is completely ignored.

The utilization of funds was considered beyond the pure view of finance

function.

B) MODERN APPROACH

The Modern approach views finance function in broader sense. It

includes both rising of funds as well as this effective utilization under the

preview of finance. The cost of raising and the returns from their use should

be compared. The utilization of funds requires decision making.

Finance functions covers financial planning rising of funds, allocation

of funds, financial control etc. Modern approach is an analytical way of

dealing with financial problems of firms.

2

Page 9: Ratio Analysis

In that approach considers there are three basic management decisions

i.e., investment decisions, financing & dividend decisions with in the scope

of finance functions.

OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

The objectives of financial management are

A) Profit Maximization:-

According to this approach actions that increase profits should be

under taken and those that decrease profits are to be avoided. In specific

operational terms as applicable to financial management, the profit

maximization implies that the investment financing and dividend policy

decisions of affirm should be oriented to the maximization of profits.

B) Wealth Maximization:

This is also known as value maximization or net present wealth

maximization. In current academic literature value maximization is almost

universally accepted and appropriate operational criterion for financial

management divisions as it removes the technical limitation criterion. It

operational features satisfy all the three requirements of a suitable

operational objective of financial courses of actions namely exactness,

quality of the benefits and the time value of money.

Page 11: Ratio Analysis

The financial manager, in a bid to maximize owner’s wealth, should

strive to maximize returns in relation to given risk. To ensure maximum

return, funds flowing in and out of the firm should be constantly monitored

to assure that they are safe guarded and properly utilized.

FINANCE FUNCTIONS:

It may be difficult to separate the finance functions from production,

marketing and other functions, yet the functions themselves can readily

identify. The function of raiding funds, investing them in assets and

distributing returns earned from assets to shareholders are respectively

known as financing, investing and dividend decisions. While performing

these functions, a firm attempts to balance cash inflows and outflows. This is

called liquidity decision.

Finance functions or decisions include:

Investment or long term – mix decision.

Financing or capital – mix decision.

Dividend or profit allocation – mix.

Liquidity or short – term asset – mix decision.

Investment Decision:

Investment decision or capital budgeting, involves the decision

of allocation of capital or commitment of funds to long-term assets that

would yield benefit in the future. Two important aspect of investment

decision are:

a) Evaluation of prospective return on new investment.

5

Page 12: Ratio Analysis

b) The measurement of a cut-off rate against that the prospective return

of new investment. Investment proposal should therefore be evaluated in

terms of both expected return and risk.

Financing Decision:

Financing decision is the second important function to be

performed by the financial manager. The main issue is to determine the

proportion of equity and debt. The mix of debt and equity is known as the

firm’s capital structure. The financial manager must strive to obtain the best

financing mix or the optimum capital structure for the firm. The firm’s

capital structure is considered to be optimum when the market value of share

is maximized. A proper balance has to be struck between return and risk.

Dividend Decision:

The financial manager must decide whenever the firm should

distribute all profits, or retain them, or distribute a portion and retain the

balance. Like the debt policy, the dividend policy should be determined in

terms of its impact on shareholders’ value.

The optimum dividend policy is one that maximizes the market

value of the firm’s share. The financial manager must determine the

optimum dividend payout ratio.

Liquidity Decision:

Investment in current assets affects the firm’s profitability and

liquidity. Current assets management that affects a firm’s liquidity is yet

another important finance function.

Current assets should be managed efficiently for safeguarding the

firm against the risk of illiquidity. Lack of liquidity (or illiquidity) in

6

Page 13: Ratio Analysis

extreme situations can lead to the firm’s insolvency. A conflict exists

between profitability and liquidity while managing current assets.

If the firm does not invest sufficient funds in current assets, it may

become illiquid and therefore, risky. But it would lose profitability, as idle

current would not earn anything.

Thus, a proper trade-off must be achieved between profitability and

liquidity. The profitability-liquidity trade-off requires that the financial

manager should develop sound techniques of managing current assets.

RATIO ANALYSIS:

Fundamental Analysis has Avery broad scope. One aspect looks at the

general factors of company. The other side considers tangible and

measurable factor. This means crunching and analyzing numbers from the

financial statements. If used in conjunction with other methods, quantitative

analysis can produce excellent results.

Ratio analysis isn’t just comparing different numbers from the balance

sheet, income statement. It’s companies, the industry, or even the economy

in general. Ration look at the relationships between individual values and

relate them to how a company has performed in the past, and might perform

in the future.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

A ratio is one figure express in terms of another figure. It is a

mathematical yardstick that measures the relationship two figures, which are

related to each other and mutually interdependent. Ratio is express by

dividing one figure by the other related figure. Thus a ratio is an expression

relating one number to another. It is simply the quotient of two numbers. It

can be expressed as a fraction or as a decimal or as pure ratio or in absolute

7

Page 14: Ratio Analysis

figures as “so many times”. As accounting ratio is an expression relation two

figures or group contain in the financial statements.

Ratio analysis is the method or process by which the relationship of

items or group or items in the financial statement are computed, determined

and presented.

Ration analysis is an attempt to derive quantitative measure or guides

concerning the financial health and profitability of business enterprises.

Ratio analysis can be used both in trend and static analysis. There are several

ratios at the disposal of an analyst but their group of ratio he would prefer

depends on the purpose and the objective of analysis.

While a detailed explanation of ratio analysis is beyond the scope of

this section, we will focus on technique. This is easy to use. It can provide

you with a valuable investment analysis tool.

This technique is called cross-sectional analysis. Cross-sectional

analysis compares financial ratio of several companies from the same

industry. Ratio analysis can provide valuable information about a company’s

financial health. A financial ratio measures a company’s performance in a

specific area. For example, you could use a ratio of company’s determine

which company uses greater debt in the conduct of its business. A company

whose leverage ratio is higher than a competitor’s has more debt per equity.

You can use this information to make a judgment as to which company is a

better investment risk.

8

Page 15: Ratio Analysis

How ever, you must be careful not to place too much importance on

one ratio. You obtain a better indication of the direction in which a company

is moving when several ratios are taken as a group.

OBJECTIVE OF RATIOS

Ratio is work out to analyze the following aspects of business organization

A) Solvency

1) Long Term

2) Shore Term

3) Immediate

B) Stability

C) Profitability

D) Operational efficiency

E) Credit Standing

F) Structural Analysis

G) Effective utilization of resources

H) Leverage or external financing

FORMS OF RATIO:

Since a ratio is a mathematical relationship between to or more

variables/accounting figures, such relationship can be expressed in different

ways as follows.

A) As a pure ratio:

For example the equity share capital of a company is Rs.20, 00,000 &

the preference share capital of a company Rs.5, 00,000. The ratio of equity

share capital to preference share capital is 20, 00,000: 5, 00,000 or simply

4:1.

9

Page 16: Ratio Analysis

B) As a rate of times:

In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4

times that of preference shred capital similarly the cash sales of a firm are

Rs.2.5 [30,00,000/12,00,000] or simply by saying that the credit sales are 2.5

times that of cash sales.

C) As a percentage:

In such a case, on item may be expressed as a percentage of some

other item, for example, net sales of the firm are Rs.50,00,000 & the amount

of the gross profit is Rs.10,00,000 then the gross profit may be described as

20% of sales [10,00,000/50,00,000].

Steps in ratio analysis:

The ratio analysis required two steps as follows:

1. Calculation of ratio

2. Comparing the ratio with some predetermined standards.

The standard ratio may be the past ratio of the same firm or industry’s

average ratio of a projected ratio or the ratio of the ratio of the most

successful firm in the industry. In interpreting the ratio of a particular firm,

the analyst cannot reach any fruitful conclusion unless the calculated ratio is

compared with some predetermined standard. The importance of a cross

standard is oblivious as the conclusion is going to be based on the standard it

self.

Types of Comparisons:

The ratio can be compared in three different ways

1) Cross section analysis:

One of the way of comparing the ratio or ratios of the firm is to

compare them with the ratio or ratios of some other selected firm in the same

industry at the same point of time, so it involves the comparison of two or

10

Page 17: Ratio Analysis

more firms financial ratio at the same point of find out as to how a particular

firm has performance may be compared with the performance of the leader

in the industry in order to uncover the major operational in efficiencies. The

cross section analysis is easy to be under taken as most of the data required

for this may be available in financial statement of the firm.

2) Time Series Analysis:

The analysis is called time series analysis when the performance of a

firm is evaluated over a period of time. By comparing the present

performance of a firm with the performance of the same firm over the last

few years, an assessment can be made about the trend in progress of the firm.

Time series analysis helps to the firm to assess whether the firm is

approaching he long-term goals or not. The time series analysis looks for 1)

important trends in financial performance 2) shift in trend over the years 3)

significant deviation any from the other set of data.

3) Combined Analysis:

If the cross section & time analysis, both are combined together to

study the behavior & pattern of ratio, then meaningful & comprehensive

evaluation of the performance of the firm can definitely be made. A trend of

ratio of a firm compared with the trend of the ratio of the standard firm can

give good result, for example, the ratio of operating expenses to net sales for

firm may be higher than the industry average however, over the years if has

been declining for the firm, where as the industry average has not shown any

significant changes.

Figure 2:1: combined analysis of cross-section and time series.

The combined analysis as depicted in the above diagram, which

clearly show that the ratio of the firm is above the industry average, but it is

decreasing over the years & is approaching the industry average.

11

Page 18: Ratio Analysis

Pre-requisites to ratio analysis:

In order to use ratio analysis as device to make purposeful conclusion,

there are certain pre-requisites. This must be taken care of it may be noted

that these prerequisites are not conditions fro calculations for meaningful

conclusions. The accounting figures are in active in them can be used for any

ratio but meaningful & correct inter predation & conclusion can be arrived at

only if the following points are well considered.

1) The dates of different financial statements from where data is taken

must be same.

2) If possible, only audited financial statements should be considered,

other wise there must be sufficient evidence that the data is correct.

3) Accounting policies followed by different firms must be same in case

of cross section analysis would be distorted.

4) One ratio may not throw light on any performance of the firm.

Therefore, a group of ratios must be preferred. This will be conductive

to counter checks.

5) Last but not least, the analyst must find out that the two figures being

used to calculate a ratio must be related to each other, otherwise there

is no purpose of calculating a ratio.

12

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The main need of the study is to analyze the financial information of the ML

group of industries.

To find out the liquidity or short term solvency of the ML limited.

To know the different types of ratio analysis how it shows impact on

different Organizations.

To allow the relationship among various aspects in such a way that it

allows drawing conclusion about the performance, strength, and

weaknesses of the company.

To know the short term surviving ability of the company.

13

Page 20: Ratio Analysis

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main objective of the study is to analyze the financial information of the ML

Group of companies.

To know the performance of the company in different time periods.

To know the future liquidity of the company.

To verify liquidity and its impact on ratio analysis.

To know the profitability and activity position of ML group of

industries.

To know the accurate financial position of the company

To make appropriate suggestions and measures for the effective

working of the Company

To analysis the financial performance of the company from the point

of ratio analysis is through various ratios.

14

Page 21: Ratio Analysis

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

An extensive study is done on the financial transactions and

financial information of the ML Group of industries. The study covers the

historical financial information of the company to find.

Growth, strategy and weakness of the company. The study

covers all the transactions of the ML Group of industries in the Ratio

analysis. The study covers the measurement of profitability of the firm and its

operating Efficiency and the relationship among different financial aspects.

15

Page 22: Ratio Analysis

METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY

Methodology is scientific and systematic search for pertinent

information on specific Topic. The reliability of management decision depends up

on the quality of data. Basically we have two types of data.

Primary data Secondary data

Primary Data:-

Primary data can be collected either through experience or through survey.

That which is collected afresh and for the first time and thus happens to be original

in character is called primary data. Primary data can be collected in the following

ways.

By Observation

Through personal interview

Through telephone interviews.

Secondary Data:-

Secondary data means data that is already available which was

collected and analyzed by some one else and which have already been passed

through the statistical process. Secondary data May either is published data or UN

published data.

16

Page 23: Ratio Analysis

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

While the study is undertaken about the ratios of the ML Groups of

industries the Following were encountered.

Due to shortage of time the overall analysis of the financial information

of ML Group of industries becomes difficult.

Some of the information was with registered office of the company due

to some Statuary requirements, so it became difficult to get the overall

information of the company.

Since we are new to the company, company refused to provide its

financial Information.

The calculated ratios are not compared with competitor’s ratios.

The smaller time frame available for understanding this study is also one

of the significant limitations of the study.

Due to lack of information my study is limited to some selected ratios

only.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Page 25: Ratio Analysis

INDUSTRY PROFILE

IN THE BEGINNING:

Tobacco is a plant that grows natively in north and South America. It is in

the same family as the potato, pepper and the poisonous nightshade on very dead

plant. The seed of a tobacco plant is very small. A “1” ounce sample contains

about 3, 00,000 seeds. It is a believed that tobacco began growing in the America

about 6,000 B.C., American Indians began using tobacco in many different ways.

Such as in religious and medicinal practices. Tobacco was believed to be a cure all

and was used to dress wounds, as well as a pain killer. Chewing tobacco was

believed to relieve the pain of a toothache. Soon after, sailors brought tobacco

back to Europe and the plant was being grown all over Europe. The major reason

for tobaccos growing popularity in Europe was its supposed healing properties.

Europeans believed that tobacco could cure almost anything, from bad breath.

In 1571, a Spanish doctor named Nicolas Monardes wrote a book about the

history of medicinal plants of the new world. In this he claimed that tobacco could

cure 36 health problems. In 1588, a Virginian named Thomas Harriet prompted

smoking tobacco as a viable way to get ones dose of tobacco. Unfortunately, he

died nose cancer (because it was popular them to breath the smoke out through the

nose).

18

Page 26: Ratio Analysis

During the 1600’s, tobacco was so popular that it was frequently used as money!

Tobacco was literally “as good as gold”! This was also a time when some of the

dangerous effects of smoking tobacco were being realized by some individuals. In

1610 Sir Francis Bercon noted that trying to quit the bad habit as really hard.

In 1632, 12 years after the mayflower arrived on Plymouth Rock, it was

Illegal to smoke publicly in Massachusetts! This had more to do with moral

benefits of the day than health cancers about smoking tobacco. In 1760, Pierre

Lorillard established a company in New York City to process tobacco, cigar and

snuff. Today P.Lorillard is the oldest tobacco company in the U.S.

TOBACCO: A GROWTH INDUSTRY:

In 1776, during the American revolutionary war, tobacco helped

finance the Revolution by serving as collateral for loans the American borrowed

from finance! Over the years, more and more scientists began to understand the

chemical in tobacco, as well as the dangerous health affects smoking produces.

In 1826, the pure form of nicotine was finally discovered. Soon after,

Scientists concluded that nicotine was dangerous poison.

In 1836, New Englander sacral green stated that tobacco was an

insecticide, a poison and can kill a man.

19

Page 27: Ratio Analysis

In 1847, the famous Phillip Morris was established selling hand rolled Turkish

cigarettes. Soon after in 1849, J.E.Liggette and brother was established in stylus,

MO- (the company that has settled out of the big lawsuits recently) cigarettes

became popular around this when soldiers brought it back to England from the

Russian and Turkish soldiers. Cigarettes in the U.S. were mainly made from scraps

left over after the production of other tobacco products, especially chewing

tobacco. Chewing tobacco became quite popular at this time with the “Cowboys”

of the American west.

In 1875, R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Company (better known for its Reynolds

wrap aluminum foil) was established to produce chewing tobacco. It was not until

the 1900’s that the cigarette became the major tobacco product made and sold.

Still, in 1901, 3.5 billion cigarettes were sold, while 6 billion cigars were sold.

Along with the popularity of cigarettes however, was a small but growing anti-

tobacco campaign, with some states proposing a total ban on tobacco?

In 1902, the British Phillip Morris set up a New York headquarters to

market its cigarettes including a new famous Marlboro brand. The demand for

cigarettes grew however, and in 1913 R.J.Reynolds began to market a cigarette

brand called camel.

20

Page 28: Ratio Analysis

WAR & CIGARETTES: A DEADLY COMBO:

The cigarette exploded during world war (1914-1918), where

cigarettes were called “soldiers smoke”. By 1923, camel controls 45% of the U.S.

market! In 1924, Phillip Morris began to market Marlboro as a woman’s cigarette

that is a “Mild as May”! To battle this, American tobacco company, maker of the

lucky strike brand, began to market its cigarettes to women and gains 38% of the

market. Smoking rates among female teenagers soon tripled during the years

between 1925-1935. In 1939, American Tobacco Company introduced a new

brand, Pall Mall, which allowed American to become the largest tobacco

company in the U.S. During World War II (1939-1945), cigarette rates were at an

all time high. Cigarettes were included in soldiers C-Rations (like food). Tobacco

companies sent millions of cigarettes to the soldiers for free, and when these

soldiers came home, the companies had steady stream of loyal customers. During

the 1950’s, more and more evidence was surfacing the smoking linked to lung

cancer

I n 1952, P.Lorillard markets its Kent brand with the ‘Micronite’ filter,

which contained asbestos! This was fortunately discontinued in 1956. In 1953,

DR.Ernst L.Wynders fined that putting cigarette tar on the back of mice causes

tumors! In 1954, RJ Reynolds introduced the Salem brand, which was the first

filter tripped menthol cigarette.

21

Page 29: Ratio Analysis

HEALTH HAZARDS REVEALED

IN 1964, the surgeon Generals Report on “smoking and health” came

out. This report assisted in allowing the government to regulate the advertisement

and sales of cigarettes. The 1960’s in general was a time when much of health

hazards of smoking were reported.

In 1965, television cigarette ads were taken off the air in Great

Britain. In 1966, those health warnings on cigarette packs began propping up. In

1968, Bravo a non tobacco cigarette brand was marketed made primarily of

Lettuce, it failed: miserably. Because of the negative press about tobacco, the

major tobacco companies began to diversity their products Phillip Morris began to

buy in to the Miller Brewing company, makers of Miller Beer, Miller lite, and Red

Dog Beer. RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company drops the “tobacco company” in its

name, and becomes RJ Reynolds industries.

It also began to buy into other products, such as aluminum.

American Tobacco Company also drops “tobacco” from its name, becoming

American brands, Inc. In 1971, television ads for cigarettes are finally taken off the

air in the U.S.cigarettes. However, was still the most heavily advertised product

second to automobiles? In 1977, the first national great American smoke art took

place. In 1979, the surgeon general reported on the health consequences of

smoking for women. This is in light to the increasing number o women who were

taking up the bad habit. Some attribute is to slick and campaign of the Virginia

slims brand, “you‘ve come a long way baby”.

22

Page 30: Ratio Analysis

THE RECENT PAST”

During the 1980’s there were many lawsuits failed against the

tobacco industry because of the harmful effects of its products. Smoking became

politically in correct, with more public places forbidding smoking. In 1982, the

surgeon general reported that second hand smoke may cause lung cancer. Smoking

in public areas was soon restricted, especially at the work place. In 1985, lung

cancer became the No.1 killer of women, beating out breast cancer! Phillip Morris

continued to diversity into other products, buying into general foods corporation

and Kraft Inc in 1985. R Reynolds also diversified, buying Nabisco and becoming

RJR/NABISCO.

In 1987, congress banned smoking on all domestic flights lasting less

than two hours. In 1990, smoking is banned, expect to Alaska and Hawaii. In

1990, Ben & Jerry’s (of ice cream fame) boy cots RJR/ NABISCO, and dropped

Oreos from its ice cream products.

During the 80’s and 90’s the tobacco started marketing heavily in

areas outside the U.S, especially developing countries in Asia. Marlboro is

considered the worlds No1 most valuable brand of any product with a value over $

30 billion! Over this period, there is a battle between coca cola and Marlboro as

the No1 brand in the world.

23

Page 31: Ratio Analysis

In the recent years there is growing evidence that the tobacco industry has known

all along that cigarettes are harmful, but continue to market and sell them. There is

also evidence that they know that nicotine was addictive and exploited this hidden

knowledge to get millions of people hooked on this dangerous habit. Tobacco

industry is an agro based industry. Tobacco is cultivated mainly in the states of

Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Most of the tobacco used for the manufacture of

cigarettes and for exports (is produced from these two states).Tobacco is also

grown in Tamilnadu, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,

Maharashtra and Orissa also. However the tobacco grown in these states is of very

less quantity and is not used for manufacture of cigarettes and exports. Several

varieties of tobacco such as Virginia flue cured, Virginia air cured, light soil burly,

sun cured Virginia, nature, chewing tobacco, HDBRG, Wrapper tobacco, Bidi

tobacco and Hookah tobacco etc., are grown in India. Virginia flue cured is a

major variety grown in India. More than 80% of Indian tobacco crop belongs to

this variety.

The tobacco cultivation exports and some other industrial activities

are regulated by central government (Ministry of commerce) through tobacco

board. Tobacco board is headed by I.A.S officer of senior category generally from

the central government.

24

Page 32: Ratio Analysis

The board consists of several Central government officers, state government

officers, political leaders, representatives of farmers and reputed Industrialists. One

of the directors of ML Group is always representing the industrialists in the

tobacco board.

Tobacco board issues licenses to the farmers who are permitted to

grow tobacco. The license regulates the cultivation area. The farmers have to

restrict the cultivation to the given area and must sell the grown tobacco through

tobacco board auctions only. Any violation is an offence and is punishable.

In Virginia flue cured variety the tobacco leaves are separated from

the plant and are cured in tobacco barns are like a furnace when the fumes are used

to cure the green leaves of tobacco plant. Tobacco barns appear like small

godowns with firing chambers at the bottom fixed to the walls. The green tobacco

leaves of the plant will be arranged in the form of rows inside the barns. The

temperature inside the barn will be regulated by means of flow of hot air through

the firing chambers.

This is a simple technical process by which the green leaf exposed

to hot air at high temperature and cooled slowly over a period of time. After the

curing process, the primary leaf tobacco turns into leman yellow colour, gold

colour, brownish yellow colour, brown colour and dark brown colour. This

tobacco is called katcha tobacco leaf and is ready for sale. The formers pack

different colours in different packages as each colour generally will be classified as

a separate grade which will have a separate price in the market?

Tobacco must be sold only through tobacco board auction platforms

under strict rules and regulations. Former or buyer as permitted to transact in

tobacco board auction platforms. Central Government has also established several

tobacco research institutes for betterment of quality of tobacco in India. The other

varieties of tobacco are not regulated by tobacco board.

The tobacco purchased from the tobacco board auction platforms will

be graded further whenever required. Grading is a process of manual separation of

one variety of leaf from the other and is done mainly on the basis of colour. Each

grade will generally have unique quality parameters. The graded tobacco is further

processed either manually or on machines. The processing is called DEBUTTING

and SRRIPPING. Workers separate the butt of the tobacco leaf from the leaf. This

process can also be done on machines. The machine processing is called

THRESHING. After stripping/ threshing, the tobacco will be further processed for

stabilization of moisture. The process is called “REDRYING”. In the process the

tobacco first of all will be derived completely then it will be given stream at the

required temperature. After redrying process, the tobacco will be packed in the

required packing say bale packing/ case packing etc. The packed tobacco is ready

for export. In India, the first threshing plant which is working uninterruptedly for

the last 25/30 years an imported one by Maddi Lakshmaiah and co.ltd. This was

installed at Ganapavaram and the plant is still running at high efficiency levels in

the country with 98% average efficiency level for the last three years. There are

two plants owned by ITC which can be compared with this plant in the country.

ITC uses their threshing plants for their own consumption.

of the firm than they would obtain from the analysis of financial data alone. A

ratio analysis is analyzing the information by comparing two different variables.

49

Page 59: Ratio Analysis

RATIO:

Ratio Analysis lies in the fact that it makes related information comparable.

A simple figure itself has no meaning but when expressed in terms of related

figure, it yields significant inferences. For instance, the fact that the net profits has

be considered in relation to other variables is, how does it stand in relation to sales.

What does it represent by way of return on total assets used or capital employed?

If net profits are shown in terms of their relationship with sales, assets, capital

But comparing ratios merely doesn’t add any information of profits and

sales. They reveal the relationship in more meaningful way which enables to draw

better conclusions.

The EPS is the total profits of a company divided by the number of shares. It's also

important to remember that if a company issues more shares of stock, it "dilutes"

the EPS figures.  So investors are usually not happy when companies announce

secondary offerings.  Unless, of course, the money the company rises will be put to

use well.

ROI (Return on Investment) is probably the most important calculation one

needs to make to ensure the long-term viability of their business. It is not enough

to build in a profit margin on the product or service being offered. One must track

with proficiency the amount of dollars being invested into attracting sales and how

much ROI those dollars put back into the business. If the investment meets too

little return, a product line is doomed to fail in the long-term.
