My research project Financial analysis of Star Automobile study conducted under the
guidance of ________________________.
I believe that my project report will have been very helpful to the practical knowledge in
the field of financial analysis of any organization.
Introduction to The Topic
MEANING OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial statement refers to such statement which contains financial information about
an enterprise. Their report profitability and the financial position of the business at the
end of the Accounting period. The term financial statement includes at least two
statements which the accountant prepares at the end of accounting period. The two
statements are:
The Balance Sheet
They provide some extremely useful information to the extent that balance Sheet
mirrors the financial position on a particular date in terms structure of assets, liabilities
and owner equity, and so on and the Profit and Loss account shows the result of
operations during a certain period of time in terms of revenues obtained and the cost
incurred during the year. Thus the financial statement provides a summarized view of
financial position and operations of a firm.
The first task of financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the decision
under consideration to total information contained in the financial statement. The
second step is to arrange the information in a way to highlight significant relationship.
The final step is interpretation and drawing of the interface and conclusions. Financial
Statement is the process of selection, relation and evaluation.
The analyst should know the plans and policies of the managements that he may
be able to find out whether these plans are properly executed or not.
The extent of analysis should determine so that the sphere of work may be
decided. If the aim is find out, Earning capacity of the enterprise then analysis of
income statement will be undertaken. On the other hand, if financial position is
to be studied then balance sheet analysis will be necessary.
The financial data be given in statement should be recognized and rearranged. It
will involve grouping the similar data under some heads. Breaking down of
individual components of the statement according to nature. A relationship is
established among financial statements with the help of tools and techniques of
analysis such as ratios, trends, common size, and fund flow, etc.
The information is interpreted in a simple and understandable way. The
significance and utility of financial data is explained which help in decision
making.
The conclusion drawn from the interpretation is presented to the management in
the form of the report.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis isnt just comparing different numbers from the balance sheet, income
statement, and cash flow statement. It means comparing the number against previous
year of other companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios look at
the relationship between individual values and relate them to how a company has
performed in the past, and its performance in the future.
RATIO
For example, Current assets of the firm are 5, 00,000 and Current liabilities are 2,
50,000 then the ratio of current assets to current liabilities will work out to be 2 such
type of ratio are called simple or pure ratios.
OBJECTIVE OF RATIOS
Ratios are worked out to analyze the following aspects of business organization
A) Solvency
Long term
Short term
Immediate
B) Stability
C) Profitability
D) Operational efficiency
E) Structural Analysis
F) Effective utilization of resources
G) Leverage or external financing
FORM OF RATIO
Since a ratio is a mathematical relationship between two 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 is Rs. 5,00,000 the ratio of equity share capital to preference share capital
20,00,000:5,00,000=4:1
Sales
PREFERENCE SHARE
CAPITAL
B) As a rate of times
In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4 times that
of preference share capital. Similarly, the cash sales of a firm are Rs. 12, 00,000 &
credit sales are Rs. 30, 00,000. So the ratio of credit sales to cash sales can be
described as
2.5[30, 00,000/12, 00,000] = 2.5 times are the credit sales.
Sales
CASH SALES
CREDIT SALES
C) As a percentage
In such case, one item may be expressed as a percentage of some other items. For
example, net sale 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]
TYPES OF COMPARISONS
The ratio can be compared in three different ways
c) 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 firm can definitely be made. A trend of ratio of a firm compared
with the trend of ratio of the standard firm can give good results, for example,
the ratio of operating expenses to net sales for firm may be higher than the
industry however, over the years it has been declining for the firm, whereas the
industry average has not shown any significant changes.
The combined analysis shows that the ratio of the firm is above the industry
average, but it is decreasing over the years & approaching the industry average.
The interpretation of the ratios is an important factor. The limitations of ratio analysis
should also be kept in mind while implementing them. The impact of factors such as
price level changes, change in accounting policies, etc. should also be kept in mind when
attempting to interpret ratios.
Single Absolute Ratio: Generally speaking one cannot draw any meaningful
conclusion when a single ratio is considered in isolation. But single ratios may be
studied in relation to certain rules of thumb which are based upon well proven
convention as for example 2:1 is considered to be a good ratio for current assets
to current liabilities.
Projected ratio: Ratios can also be calculated for further standard based upon
the projected or Performa financial statements. These future ratios may be taken
as standard for comparison and the ratios calculated on actual financial
statements can be compared with the standard ratios to find out variances, if
any. Such variances help in interpreting and taking corrective action for
improvement in future.
Inter-firm comparison: Ratios of one firm can also be compared with the ratios of
some other selected firms in the same industry at the same point of time. This
kind of comparison helps in evaluating relative financial position and
performance of the firm.
The ratio analysis is one of the most important tools of financial analysis. It is used as a
device to analyse and interpret the financial health of the enterprise.
3. Helps in communicating: The financial strength and weakness of the firm are
communicated in the more easy and understandable manner by the use of
ratios.
5. Helps in control: Ratios analysis even helps in making effective control of the
business.
C. Utility to creditors
The creditors or the suppliers extend short term credit to the concern. They are
interested to know whether financial position of the concern warrants their
payments at the specified time or not. The concern pays short term creditors out
of its current assets. If current assets are quite sufficient to meet current
liabilities then the creditors will not hesitate in extending credit facility.
D. Utility to employees
The employees are also interested in the financial position of the firm especially
profitability. Their wage increases and the amount of fringe benefits are related
to the volume of profits earned by the concern. The employees make use of
information available in financial statement.
E. Utility to government-
Government is interested to know the overall strength of the industry. Various
financial statements published by industrial units are used to calculate ratios for
determining short term, long term and overall financial position of the concerns.
Profitability index can also be prepared with the help of ratios.
The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial management. Though
ratios are simple to calculate and easy to understand, but there are number of
limitations:
Limited use of a Single ratio: A single ratio, usually, does not convey much of a
sense. To make a better interpretation a number of ratios have to be calculated
which is likely to confuse the analyst then help him in making any meaningful
conclusion.
Lack of Adequate Standards: There are no well adopted standards for all ratios
which can be accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of ratios is difficult.
Limitation of Accounting: Like financial statements, ratios also suffer from the
inherent weakness of accounting records such as their historical nature. Ratios of
the past are not necessarily true indicator of the future.
Personal Bias: Ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself.
Ratios have to be interpreted and different people interpret the same ratio in
different ways.
Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature but also the firms of a
similar business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures, etc. it
makes comparison of ratios difficult and misleading.
Price Level Change: While making ratio analysis, no consideration is made to the
change in price levels and this makes the interpretation of ratios invalid.
Ratios no substitute: Ratio analysis is merely a tool of financial statement.
Hence, ratios become useless if separated from the statements from which they
are compounded.
Section 210 0f the companies act requires preparation of balance sheet at the end of
each trading period.

COMPANY PROFILE:
Executive summer
The Bajaj Group was founded in 1926 by Jamnalal Bajaj and now
consists of 27 companies. In 1945, Jamnalal Bajaj had formed
M/sBachraj Trading Corporation Private Limited, the flagship company,
to sell imported two-wheelers and three-wheelers. The company
acquired a license from the government in 1959 to manufacture these
vehicles and went public the next year. By 1977, the company saw its
plant rolling out 100,000 vehicles in a single year. In another nine years,
Bajaj Auto could produce 500,000 vehicles in a year. The present
Chairman of the Bajaj group, Rahul Bajaj, took charge of the business in
1965. He was the first licensee of the Indian make of the Italian Vesper
scooter. Japanese and Italian scooter companies began entering the
Indian market in the early 1980s. Although some boasted superior
technology and flashier brands, Bajaj Auto had built up several
advantages in the previous decades. Its customers liked the durability
of the product and the ready availability of maintenance; the
company's distributors permeated the country. By 1994-95, Bajaj was
racing to beat Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki in the two-wheeler segment
internationally. By 1997, Bajaj faced tough competition in the domestic
market and its market share stood at 40.5%. Under the leadership of
Rahul Bajaj, the turnover of Bajaj Auto has gone up from Rs.72 million
to Rs.46.16 billion(USD 936 million), its product portfolio has expanded
from one to many and the brand has found a global market. Bajaj as a
brand is well-knownacross several countries in Latin America, Africa,
Middle East, South and South East Asia. The company has a network of
498 dealers and over1,500 authorized service centers and 162 exclusive
three-wheeler dealers spread across the country. Bajaj has identified a
segment of customers called 'Providers', who are knowledgeable about
motorbikes and appreciative of contemporary technology. They are
trendsetters and very choosy about what they ride. Hence, Providers
need to be addressed in a meaningful way that goes beyond the
product. Bajaj Auto is in the process of setting up a chain of retail stores
across the country exclusively for high-end, performance bikes. These
stores are called Bajaj Prebaking". Fifty two such stores have been
opened across India. Catering to demand in this sector requires a strong
and effective distribution network as consumers are more demanding
and expect delivery on time. Early delivery is a cause delight for
customers. With such vast global and Indian rural presence, designing
an efficient distribution system becomes a complex task even for a
company like Bajaj Auto. Lot of time and effort goes into designing a
strategy based efficient distribution system. Bajaj Auto is a major Indian
automobile manufacturer started by a Rajasthani merchant. It is world's
fourth largest manufacturer of two-wheelers and India's second largest
two wheeler manufacturer and the worlds 4th largest two- and three-
wheeler maker. It is based in Pune,Maharashtra, with plants in Akurdi
and Chakan (Pune), Waluj (near Aurangabad) and Pant agar in
Uttaranchal.Bajaj Auto makers and exports motor scooters,
motorcycles and the auto rickshaw. The company, headed by Rahul
Bajaj, is worth more than US$1.5 billion. Bajaj Auto came into existence
on November 29, 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading Corporation Private
Limited. It started off by selling imported two- and three-wheelers in
India. In 1959, it obtained license from the Government of India to
manufacture two- and three-wheelers.

CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current
liabilities. This ratio also known as working capital ratio is a measure of general liquidity
and is most widely used to make the analysis of a short-term financial position or
liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by dividing the total of current assets by total of the
current liabilities.
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current liabilities
8 Work- in-progress
9 Prepaid Expenses
A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the ability to
pay its current obligations in time as and when they become due. On the other hand, a
relatively low current ratio represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not good
and the firm shall not be able to pay its current liabilities in time without facing
difficulties. An increase in the current ratio represents the improvement in the liquidity
position of a firm while a decrease in the current ratio indicates that there has been
deterioration in the liquidity position of the firm.

Year 2016 Year 2015
The current ratio for the company in the year 2016 was 0.90 and for the year 2015 was
0.98 So the current ratio for the firm has increased by 0.08 which indicates that the
companys liquidity position is increasing. The main reason for this is the rise in the
current Assets of the company from 4746770.88 To 4841565.71.There are sufficient
funds to pay liabilities.
QUICK RATIO
Quick Ratio, also known as Acid Test or liquidity ratio, is the most precise test of liquidity
than the current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability of the firm to pay its short
term obligations as and when they become due. The two determinant of current ratio,
as a measure of liquidity, are current assets and current liabilities.
Quick assets
Quick ratio =
Current liabilities
Usually, a high acid test ratio is an indication that a company is liquid and has the ability
to meet its current or liquid liabilities in time and on the other hand a low quick ratio
represents that the companys liquidity position is not good.
Hence the quick ratio of the company in 2016 was .251 and 2017 was .306 shows that
the quick ratio of the company has decreased by .55 because the company has
purchased assets by the bank balance as the company has not taken any loan during the
year so the quick ratio of the company decreased.

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO FOR LAST TWO YEARS
The quick ratio of the company in 2016 was .251 and 2017 was .306 shows that
the quick ratio of the company has decreased by .55 because the company has
purchased assets by the bank balance as the company has not taken any loan
during the year so the quick ratio of the company decreased.
The Inventory conversion period has shifted from 66 days in 2016 and 59 days in
2011 which shows that the company is efficiently managing their stock and its
inventory turnover has also increased which shows that there is rise in sale.
There is no much difference in the net profit ratio of year 2016 and year 2017 as
the net profit and the sale has increased in the same proportion so there is not
much difference in the net profit ratio of the company.
In yester years company suffered from cash problem. So Star Automobile should
consider in this area also.
The high leverage ratio would lead inflexibility in the operations of the firm, as creditors
would be able to borrow funds only under restrictive conditions; a firm faces difficulty in
raising funds in future.
The proprietary ratio is less than 1 or 50%. This low value of ratio indicates the unsound
financial position of company. It is not good for long term prospect. Company has to take
certain steps to equity portion of this ratio.
ZCL has more equity than its long term debts but it reduced in later years, so company
should concentrate on this.
The company should be moving ahead with strong performance and well conceived
strategies for expansion, diversification and corporate transformation.
The company should be better utilization of human resources and improvement in work
culture and productivity. Employees were motivated through competition, prizes and
incentives declared by the company from time to time
Inventory is slow moving item. There is still a possibility of reduction in its holding days
for Star Automobile the large part of current assets is in the form of inventory.
Conclusion
The companys overall is at a very good position. The company achieves sufficient profit
in past two years. The company maintains low liquidity to achieve the high profitability.
The company grew significantly during these years. There were many new products and
services that were launched during this time. The company enjoys monopoly in various
products, i.e. significant is the name of Star Automobiles this section. Increased demand
of products helps the company remain strong. The changing lifestyle and concepts of
