It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the trengths and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial ondition can be determined. Ratios can be defined as “Relationships expressed in quantitative terms, between figures which have cause and effect relationships or which are connected with each other in some manner or the other”. Ratio analysis is an age-old technique of financial analysis. It is “the process of determining and presenting the relationship of items and groups of items in the financial tatements”. Ratio analysis is one of the techniques where ratios are used as a yardstick for evaluating the elationship between component parts of financial statements to obtain a better understanding of he firm’s position and performance.The importance of r atio analysis lies in the fact that it presents facts on a comparative basis Conclusions can be drawn regarding the liquidity position of a firm. It is useful for assessing the long-term financial viability of a firm. ADVANTAGE OF RATIO ANALYSIS: ) The advantages of ratio analysis are as follows. b) Forecasting. ) Managerial control. d) Facilitates communications. ) Measuring efficiency. STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS Selection of relevant information. Comparison of calculated ratios. nterpretation and reporting. A.2. Industry Profile The Indian storage batteries market is approximately estimated at US 500 million with he automotive batteries segment 60 to 70 percent of the overall market value. In terms of volumes, OE segment comprising around 1.2 to 1.3 million units per annum, various batteries(clock wise from bottom left)two 9-volt, two AA, one D, a handheld ham radio battery, cordless phone battery, a camcorder batter y, one C, and two AAA. A battery is one or more electrochemical cells, which store chemical energy and make it vailable as electric curr ent. There are many types of electrochemical cells, including galvanic ells, electrolytic cells, fuel cells, and voltaic cells, an electrical “battery” is two or more cells onnected together, but often a single cell is called a battery. Battery characteristics may vary due to many factors including internal chemistry, current drain, and temperature. There ar e two types of batteries, primary (disposable) and secondar y (rechargeable), both of which convert chemical energy to electrical energy. Primary batteries can only be used once because they use up their chemicals in an irreversible reaction. Secondary batteries can be echarged because the chemical reactions they use are reversible; they are recharged by running a harging current through the battery, but in the opposite direction of the discharged current. Secondary, also called rechargeable batteries can be charged and discharged many times before wearing out, after wearing out some batteries can be recycled. ABOUT BATTERY: A battery is perhaps the only gift of science where electric is stored by means of electro hemical potentials guided by electro chemical reaction. Chemical reaction initiated by lectricity. Which take place with the means of electron exchange between the reactions, as and when required the stored energy can be counted back to electro chemical reaction. In certain ases the electrical chemical reactions guiding the energy transformation is not reversible. Such batteries are called ordinary cells. Where the electro chemical reaction guiding energy transformation is reversible hence

hey can be reused through only after outing a required amount of electric energy once it gets xhausted. There batteries are called secondar y batteries. Exide is dominant player in the industrial battery segment, with a product range covering apacities from 2.5 Ah to 10000 Ah and more. Using the latest technological inputs, we manufacture industrial batteries for the power , telecom, infrastructure projects, computer ndustries, as well as the railways, mining and defence sectors as well as the railways, mining nd defence sectors.

B .Design of the study B.1.Statement of the problem The study is based on the data obtained from the annual reports of the concern i.e. balance sheet and profit and loss account. The period under study has been only for 5 financial year’s i.e. 2008 to 2013. The study doesn’t take into account the other areas such as dividend policy, capital budgeting etc Financial statements do not disclose the correct financial position of the company. nformation shown in financial statements is not precise. Statements cannot be comparable with one concern to other concern. Accounting practices and methods should differ from one company to other ompany. B.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The main objective of the study is to test the liquidity, turnover, return, profitability, hareholder and leverage ratio of a concern. To analyse and evaluate the ratio analysis of Exide Batteries. To study the profitability and liquidity position of the organisation. To study the growth of the Exide Batteries for the past five years from 2009 to 2013. To make suggestions & recommendations for improving the financial position of Exide Batteries. B.3.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research is a 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 especially through search for new facts in branch of knowledge” The research design used in this project is Analytical in nature the procedure using, which researcher has to use facts or information already available, and analyse these to make a ritical evaluation of the performance. This is the case of EXIDE BATTERIES LTD. With particular reference to ratio analysis, or the prosecution of the study, both the primary and secondary data. DATA COLLECTION Primary Sources Data are collected through personal interviews and discussion with Finance- Executive. Secondary Sources Secondary data means that ar e already available i.e. they refer to the data which have already been collected and analysed by someone else. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished data. Usually published data are available in various publications of the central, state, local governments. Also in technical and trade journals, books, magazines and newspapers, reports and publications of various associations connected with business and industry, banks, stock xchanges reports prepared by research scholarsuniversities in different fields From the annual reports maintained by the company. Data are collected from the company’s website. Books and journals pertaining to the topic. B.4.LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Due to confidential nature of information and non-availability some data the detailed tudy in cash management has not been carried out. Since the position and performance of the company is done with the help of ration nalysis the statement of changes in financial position is omitted. All efforts were taken to collect

he data for analysis in the stipulated time. Ratio analysis suff ers from certain limitations. They re discussed below. nadequacy of standards. Ratios alone are not adequate. Difficulty in Comparison. Problems of price level changes. Window dressing. Non-Accuracy of financial information. Different interpretations – Results of the analysis may be interpreted differently by different users. Changes in price level – Ratio analysis becomes redundant during periods of heavy price luctuations. Past data cannot be the index of the future and cannot be cent percent basis for future stimation, forecasting, budgeting and planning. Practical Knowledge – The analyst should have thorough knowledge and experience bout the firm and industry. B.5.SCOPE OF THE STUDY To analyse and interpret the relevant data of the company in a balanced way by ratio Analysis. To do the study in a logical and systematic way. To make the study as reliable in nature. To provide a valuable suggestions and recommendations. To identify the basis of analysis & interpretation of the EXIDE BATTERIES. To identify the strength and weakness of a business concern. The study will help to analyse the financial status of the firm. NEED OF THE STUDY The study has great significance and provides benefits to various parties whom directly or indirectly interact with the company. t is beneficial to management of the company by providing crystal clear picture egarding important aspects like liquidity, turnover, shareholder and profitability. The study is also beneficial to employees and offers motivation by showing how ctively they are contributing for company’s growth. The investors who are interested in investing in the company’s shares will also get benefited by going through the study and can easily take a decision whether to invest or not to invest in the company’s shares. CHAPTER. A.REVIEW OF LITERATURE Review of Literature refers to the collection of the results of the various researches elating to the present study. It takes into consideration the research of the previous researchers which arerelated to the present research in any way. Here are the reviews of the previous esearches relatedwith the present study: Bollen (1999) onducted a studyon Ratio Var iables on which he f ound three diff er ent us es of ratio variables in aggregate data analysis: (1) as measures of theoretical oncepts, (2) as a meansto control an extraneous factor, and (3) as a correction for heteroscedasticity. In the use of ratiosas i ndices of concepts , a pr obl em can ar is e if it is egres sed on other indices or var iables thatcontain a common component. F or xample, the relat ions hip betwe en tw o per capital m easur es may be conf ounded with he common population com ponent in ea ch var iable. Regar di ng the second use of atios, only under exceptional conditions will ratio variables be a suitable means of controlling n extraneous factor. Finally, the use of ratios to correct for heteroscedasticity is alsoof ten mis us ed. O nl y under special condit ions will the common f orm f or ger s s oon with atio v a r i a bl e s c or r e c t f o r he t e r o s c ed a s t i ci t y. A l t er na t i ve s t o r a ti o s f o r a c h o f t he s e ca s es a r e discussed and evaluated. Cooper (2000) onducted a s tudyon F inancial Inter mediation on w hic h he obs er ved that thequantitative behaviour of business-cycle models in which the intermediation process acts either asa source of fluctuations or as a propagator of real shocks. In neither case do we find convincingevi dence that the inter mediation pr oc ess is an i mpor tant element of ggregate fl uctuations. For an e c on om y d r i v en by i nt e r m e di a t i on s ho ck s , on s um p t i on i s n ot s m o ot h er t ha n out p ut , investment is negatively correlated with output, variations in the capital stock are quite large, andinterest rates are procyclical. The model conomy thus fails to match unconditional moments for t h e U. S. e co no m y. W e al s o s t r u ct u r a l l y e s t i ma t e pa r am e t e r s o f a m o de l e co no m y i n w h i ch interm ediati on and productivit y shocks are pres ent, allowi ng for the nter medi ation proces s to propagate the real shock. Chuetal (1991) nalysed the hospital sectors to observe the differences of financial ratios groups between hospital sectors and industrial firms sectors. Their study concluded that financial atios groups were significantly different from those of industrial firms’ ratios as well these ratios

would provide sufficient insight into how efficiently the long-term funds of owners and creditors re being used.

  1. RETURN ON ASSET:

An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an dea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a company's annual earnings by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a percentage. Sometimes this is referred to as "return on investment". Return on assets = (Net income) / (Total assets)

  1. RETURN ON TOTAL ASSET:

A ratio that measures a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) against its otal net assets. The ratio is considered an indicator of how effectively a company is using its ssets to generate earnings before contractual obligations must be paid. Return on total asset = (EBIT) / (Total net assets). Where, EBIT = Net income + Interest expense + Taxes PROFITABILITY RATIO:

  1. NET PROFIT RATIO:

This measures the relationship between net profits and sales of a firm. Depending on the oncept of net profit employed the ration can be computed as Net profit/loss after interest and tax Net profit ratio =………………………………………x Sales A high net profit margin would ensure adequate return as well as enable a firm to with tand adverse economic conditions when selling price is declining cost of production is rising nd demand for the product is failing. A low net profit merging would have the opposite mplications.

  1. GROSS PROFIT RATIO:

t measures the relationship between gross profit and sales. It is calculated by dividing gross profit by sales. Gross profit margin or ratio = Gross profit X 100 Net sales Gross profit is the difference between sales and cost of goods sold.

  1. OPERATING PROFIT RATIO:

Operating profit margin or ratio establishes the relationship between operating profit and net sales. It is calculated by dividing operating profit by sales. Operating profit margin or ratio = Operating Profit X 100 Net sales Operating profit is the difference between net sales and total operating expenses. Operating profit = Net sales – cost of goods sold – administrative expenses – selling and distribution expenses.) SHAREHOLDER RATIO:

  1. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

t measures the profit available to the equity shareholders on a per share basis. It is omputed by dividing earnings available to the equity shareholders by the total number of equity hare outstanding Earnings per share = Ear nings after tax – Preferred dividends (if any) Equity shares outstanding LEVERAGE RATIO:

  1. PROPRIETARY RATIO:

The proprietary ratio (also known as net worth ratio or equity ratio) is used to evaluate he soundness of the capital structure of a company. It is computed by dividing the stockholders’ quity by total assets. Proprietar y ratio = (Stockholder’s equity) / (Total assets) * Some analysts prefer to exclude intangible assets (goodwill etc.) from the denominator of he above formula. In that case, the formula would be written as follows: Proprietary ratio = (Stockholders equity) / (Total assets – intangible assets) * The information about stockholders’ equity and assets is available from balance sheet.

  1. CURRENT ASSET TO FIXED ASSET RATIO:

This ratio differs from industry to industry. The increase in theratio means that trading is lack or mechanization has been used. A declinein the ratio means that debtors and stocks are ncreased too much or fixedassets are more intensively used. if current assets increase with the corresponding ncrease in profit, it will show that the business is expanding. Current asset Current asset to fixed asset = ---------------------- Fixed asset CHAPTER- 3 A.DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION LIQUIDITY RATIO 1.1 CURRENT RATIO The current ratio is the ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities. It’s

alculated by divided current assets by current liabilities. The current assets of a firm, as already stated, represent that asset which can be, in the ordinary course of business, converted into cash within a short period of time normally not xceeding one year. Current assets Current Ratio = --------------------------- Current liabilities TABLE NO: 1.

This shows the current ratio of the company is quite satisfactory, healthy sign or the company and the company has to utilize efficient funds. 1.2 QUICK RATIO: An indicator of a company’s short-term liquidity. The quick ratio measures a company’s bility to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. For this reason, the ratio xcludes inventories from cur rent assets, and is calculated as follows: Current assets – inventories Quick ratio = ---------------------------------------- Current liabilities Or Cash and equivalents + marketable securities +accounts receivable) = --------------------------- ------------- ---- --- ---- -- ----------------------------- Current liabilities TABLE NO: 1.

It is the reason of proper management of funds also one of the reasons. Fixed assets ratio is increased from 5.142 to 5.764 it is good ign for the company. 2.3 WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO: This ratio measures the effective utilization of working capital and smooth running of business.
