Short Answer Questions

Q1: What do you mean by Ratio Analysis?
Ans: Ratio Analysis is a technique of financial analysis. It describes the relationship between various items of Balance Sheet and Income Statements. It helps us in ascertaining profitability, operational efficiency, solvency, etc. of a firm. It may be expressed as a fraction, proportion, percentage and in times. It enables budgetary controls by assessing qualitative relationship among different financial variables. Ratio Analysis provides vital information to various accounting users regarding the financial position and viability and performance of a firm. It also lays down the basic framework for decision making and policy designing by management.

Q2: What are the various types of ratios?
Ans: Accounting ratios are classified in the following two ways.
I. Traditional Classification
II. Functional Classification
I. Traditional Classification: This classification is based on the financial statements, i.e. Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. The Traditional Classification further bifurcates accounting ratios on the basis of the accounts to which the elements of a ratio belong. On the basis of accounts of financial statements, the Traditional Classification bifurcate accounting ratios as:
a. Income Statement Ratios: These are those ratios whose all the elements belong only to the Trading and Profit and Loss Account, like Gross Profit Ratio, etc.
b. Balance Sheet Ratios: These are those ratios whose all the elements belong only to the Balance Sheet, like Current Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio, etc.
c. Composite Ratios: These are those ratios whose elements belong both to the Trading and Profit and Loss Account as well as to the Balance Sheet, like Debtors Turnover Ratio, etc.
II. Functional Classification: This classification reflects the functional need and the purpose of calculating ratio. The basic rationale to compute ratio is to ascertain liquidity, solvency, financial performance and profitability of a business. Consequently, the Functional Classification classifies various accounting ratios as:
a. Liquidity Ratio: These ratios are calculated to determine short term solvency.
b. Solvency Ratio: These ratios are calculated to determine long term solvency.
c. Activity Ratio: These ratios are calculated for measuring the operational efficiency and efficacy of the operations. These ratios relate to sales or cost of goods sold.
d. Profitability Ratio: These ratios are calculated to assess the financial performance and the financial viability of the business.

Q3: What relationships will be established to study:
 a. Inventory Turnover
 b. Debtor Turnover
 c. Payables Turnover
 d. Working Capital Turnover.

Ans: a. Inventory Turnover Ratio: This ratio is computed to determine the efficiency with which the stock is used. This ratio is based on the relationship between cost of goods sold and average stock kept during the year.NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
b. Debtors Turnover Ratio or Trade Receivable Turnover RatioThis ratio is computed to determine the rate at which the amount is collected from the debtors. It establishes the relationship between net credit sales and average accounts receivables.

Q4: The liquidity of a business firm is measured by its ability to satisfy its long-term obligations as they become due. What are the ratios used for this purpose?
Ans: The liquidity of a business firm is measured by its ability to pay its long term obligations. The long term obligations include payments of principal amount on the due date and payments of interests on the regular basis. Long term solvency of any business can be calculated on the basis of the following ratios.
a. Debt-Equity Ratio- It depicts the relationship between the borrowed fund and owner's funds. The lower the debt-equity ratio higher will be the degree of security to the lenders. A low debt-equity ratio implies that the company can easily meet its long term obligations.

 NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

b. Total Assets to Debt Ratio- It shows the relationship between the total assets and the long term loans. A high Total Assets to Debt Ratio implies that more assets are financed by the owner's fund and the company can easily meet its long-term obligations. Thus, a higher ratio implies more security to the lenders.

Q5: The average age of inventory is viewed as the average length of time inventory is held by the firm or as the average number of day's sales in inventory. Why?
Ans: Inventory Turnover Ratio: This ratio is computed to determine the efficiency with which the stock is used. This ratio is based on the relationship between cost of goods sold and average stock kept during the year.

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

It shows the rate with which the stock is turned into sales or the number of times the stock in turned into sales during the year. In other words, this ratio reveals the average length of time for which the inventory is held by the firm.

Long Answer Questions

Q1: What are liquidity ratios? Discuss the importance of current and liquid ratio.
Ans: Liquidity ratios are calculated to determine the short-term solvency of a business, i.e. the ability of the business to pay back its current dues. Liquidity means easy conversion of assets into cash without any significant loss and delay.
Short-term creditors are interested in ascertaining liquidity ratios for timely payment of their debts.
Liquidity ratio includes
1. Current Ratio
2. Liquid Ratio or Quick Ratio
1. Current Ratio- It explains the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. It is calculated as:

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Currents Assets are those assets that can be easily converted into cash within a short period of time like, cash in hand, cash at bank, marketable securities, debtors, stock, bills receivables, prepaid expenses. etc.
Current Liabilities are those liabilities that are to be repaid within a year like, bank overdraft, bills payables, Short-term creditors, provision for tax, outstanding expenses etc.
Importance of Current Ratio
It helps in assessing the firm's ability to meet its current liabilities on time. The excess of current assets over current liabilities provide a sense of safety and security to the creditors. The ideal ratio of current assets over current liabilities is 2:1. It means that the firm has sufficient funds to meet its current liabilities. A higher ratio indicates poor investment policies of management and low ratio indicates shortage of working capital and lack of liquidity.
2. Liquid Ratio- It explains the relationship between liquid assets and current liabilities. It indicates whether a firm has sufficient funds to pay its current liabilities immediately. It is calculated as:

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Liquid Assets = Current Assests - Stock - Prepaid Expenses
Importance of Liquid Ratio
It helps in determining whether a firm has sufficient funds if it has to pay all its current liabilities immediately.
It does not include stock, since it takes comparatively more time to convert the stock into cash. Further prepaid expenses are also not included in liquid assets, since these cannot be converted into cash. The ideal Liquidity Ratio is considered to be 1:1. It means that the firm has a rupee in form of liquid assets for every rupee of current liabilities.

Q2: How would you study the solvency position of the firm?
Ans: Solvency position of a firm is studied with the help of the Solvency Ratios. Solvency ratios are the measures of the long-term financial position of the firm in terms of its ability to pay its long-term liabilities. In other words, the solvency of the firm is measured by its ability to pay its long term obligation on the due date. The long term obligations include payments of principal amount on the due date and payments of interests on the regular basis. Long term solvency of any business can be calculated on the basis of the following ratios.
a. Debt-Equity Ratio- It depicts the relationship between the borrowed fund and owner's funds. The lower the debt-equity ratio higher will be the degree of security to the lenders. A low debt-equity ratio implies that the company can easily meet its long term obligations.

Equity or the Shareholders Fund includes Preference Share Capital, Equity Share Capital, Capital Reserve, Securities Premium, General Reserve less Accumulated Loss and Fictitious Assets.
b. Total Assets to Debt Ratio- It shows the relationship between the total assets and the long term loans. A high Total Assets to Debt Ratio implies that more assets are financed by the owner's fund and the company can easily meet its long-term obligations. Thus, a higher ratio implies more security to the lenders.NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Total Assets includes all fixed and current assets except fictitious assets like, Preliminary Expenses, Underwriting Commission, etc.
Debt includes all long-term loans that are to be repaid after one year. It includes debentures, mortgage loans, bank loans, loans from other financial institutions, etc.
c. Interest Coverage Ratio- This ratio depicts the relationship between amount of profit utilise for paying interest and amount of interest payable. A high Interest Coverage Ratio implies that the company can easily meet all its interest obligations out of its profit. 

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
d. Proprietary Ratio- It shows the relationship between the Shareholders Fund and the Total Assets. This ratio reveals the financial position of a business. The higher the ratio the higher will be the degree of safety for the creditors. It is calculated as:NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Total Assets includes all fixed and current assets except fictitious assets like, Preliminary Expenses, Underwriting Commission, etc.

Q3: What are various profitability ratios? How are these worked out?
Ans: Profitability ratios are calculated on the basis of profit earned by a business. This ratio gives a percentage measure to assess the financial viability, profitability and operational efficiency of the business. The various important Profitability Ratios are as follows:
1. Gross Profit Ratio
2. Operating Ratio
3. Operating Profit Ratio
4. Net Profit Ratio
5. Return on Investment or Capital Employed

Q4: The current ratio provides a better measure of overall liquidity only when a firm's inventory cannot easily be converted into cash. If inventory is liquid, the quick ratio is a preferred measure of overall liquidity. Explain.
Ans: Current Ratio- It explains the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. It is calculated as:NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Currents Assets are those assets that are easily converted into cash within a short period of time like cash in hand, cash at bank, marketable securities, debtors, stock, bills receivables, prepaid expenses. etc.
Current Liabilities are those liabilities that are to be repaid within a year like bank overdraft, bills payables, Short-term creditors, provision for tax, outstanding expenses etc.
Liquid Ratio- It explains the relationship between liquid assets and current liabilities. It indicates whether a firm has sufficient funds to pay its current liabilities immediately. It is calculated as:NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Generally, Current Ratio is preferable for such type of business where the stock or the inventories cannot easily be converted into cash like heavy machinery manufacturing companies, locomotive companies, etc. This is because, the heavy stocks like machinery, heavy tools etc. cannot be easily sold off. But on the other hand, the businesses where the stock can be easily realised or sold off regard Liquid Ratio to be more suitable measure to reveal their liquidity position. For example, the inventories of a service sector company is very liquid as there are no stock kept for sale, so they prefer Liquid Ratio as a measure of overall liquidity.
Moreover, sometimes companies prefer to resort to Liquid Ratio instead of Current Ratio, if the prices of the stock held are prone to fluctuate. This is because if the prices of the inventories fluctuate more, then this may affect their liquidity position of the business and may reduce (or overcast) the Current Ratio. Consequently, they prefer Liquid Ratio as it excludes inventories and stocks.
Thirdly, if the stock forms the major portion of a company's current assets, then they would prefer Current Ratio and not Liquid Ratio. This is because their current assets mostly consist of stock. The Liquid Ratio of such company will be very low as liquid assets exclude stock. This will reduce their Liquid Ratio and may create a bad image for the creditors. In such a case, Current Ratio provides better measure of overall liquidity.

Ans:
Quick Assets = Quick Assets/Current Liabilities 
2/1 = 2400000/Current Liabilities 
Current Liabilities = 2400000/2 = 1200000 
Current Assets = Liquid Assets + Inventory 
= 2400000 + 600000 = 3000000
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities = 3000000/1200000 = 2.5:1

Q9: Compute Inventory Turnover Ratio from the following information: 
NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - CommerceAns:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory 
= 150000/50000 = 3 times 
Cost of Goods Sold = Net Sales – Gross Profit 
= 200000 – 50000 = 150000
Inventory in the beginning = Inventory at the end – Excess of Inventory at the end over Inventory in the beginning 
= 60000 – 20000 = 40000
Average Inventory = (Inventory in the beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (40000 + 60000)/2 = 100000/2 = 50000

Ans:
(i) Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit/Net Revenue from Operations) x 100 
= (600000/2520000) x 100 = 23.81% 
Gross Profit = Net Revenue from Operations – Cost of Revenue from Operations 
= 2520000 – 1920000 = 600000 
(ii) Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 1920000/800000 = 2.4 times
(iii) Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities 
= 1560000/600000 = 2.6:1
Current Assets = Liquid Assets + Inventory 
= 760000 + 800000 = 1560000
(iv) Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities 
= 760000/600000 = 1.27:1
Note: The figure of Rs.760000 is taken as Liquid Assets and not the Current Assets. 
(v) Net Profit Ratio = (Net Profit/Net Revenue from Operations) x 100 
= (360000/2520000) x 100 = 14.28%
(vi) Working Capital Ratio = Revenue from Operations/Working Capital 
= 2520000/960000 = 2.625 times 
Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities 
= 1560000 – 600000 = 960000

Q12: Compute Working Capital Turnover Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio and Proprietary Ratio from the following information:

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Ans:  
1. Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Revenue from Operations/Working Capital 
= 1000000/120000 = 8.33 times
Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities 
= 400000 – 280000 = 120000
2. Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity 
= 200000/500000 = 2:5 = 0.4:1
Total Assets = Paid-up Capital + Debentures + Current Liabilities (Since, Total Liabilities = Total Assets) 
= 500000 + 200000 + 280000 = 980000
3. Proprietary Ratio = Shareholder Funds/Total Assets 
= 500000/980000 = 0.51:1

Q13: Calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio if:
Inventory in the beginning is Rs 76,250, Inventory at the end is 98,500, Gross Revenue from Operations is Rs 5,20,000, Return Inwards is Rs 20,000, Purchases is Rs 3,22,250.

Ans:
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Inventory in the beginning + Purchase – Inventory at the end 
= 76250 + 322250 – 98500 = 300000
Average Inventory = (Inventory in the beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (76250 + 98500)/2 = 174750/2 = 87375
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 300000/87375 = 3.43 times 

Q14Calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio from the data given below: 

NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Ans:
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Inventory in the beginning + Purchase + Carriage – Inventory at the end 
= 10000 + 25000 + 2500 – 5000 = 32500
Average Inventory = (Inventory in the beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (10000 + 5000)/2 = 15000/2 = 7500
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 32500/7500 = 4.33 times 

Q15: A trading firm’s average inventory is Rs. 20,000 (cost). If the inventory turnover ratio is 8 times and the firm sells goods at a gross profit of 20% on sales, ascertain the gross profit of the firm. 
Ans:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
8 = Cost of Revenue from Operations/20000 
Cost of Revenue from Operations = 20000 x 8 = 160000 
Let Sale Price be Rs.100 
Then, Profit is Rs.20 Hence, the Cost of Revenue from Operations = 100 – 20 = Rs.80 
If the Cost of Revenue from Operations is Rs.80, then Revenue from Operations = 100 
If the Cost of Revenue from Operations is Re.1, then Revenue from Operations = 100/80 
If the Cost of Revenue from Operations is Rs.160000, then Revenue from Operations = 100/80 x 160000 = 200000 
Profit = Net Revenue from Operations – Cost of Revenue from Operations = 200000 – 160000 = 40000

Ans:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 1800000/750000 = 2.4 times 
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Revenue from Operations – Gross Profit 
= 2400000 – 600000 = 1800000 
Average Inventory = (Inventory in the beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (600000 + 900000)/2 = 1500000/2 = 750000
Average Trade Receivables = (Trade Receivables in the beginning + Trade Receivables at the end)/2 
= (500000 + 560000)/2 = 530000
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Trade Receivables 
= 2400000/530000 = 4.53 times

= 190000 + 70000 = 260000
Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities 
= 140000/260000 = 7:13 = 0.54:1
(ii) Cost of Revenue from Operations = Revenue from Operations – Gross Profit 
= 400000 – 194000 = 206000 
Average Inventory = (Inventory in the beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (50000 + 60000)/2 = 110000/2 = 55000
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 206000/55000 = 3.74 times 
(iii) Capital Employed = Equity Share Capital + Profit and Loss 
= 200000 + 140000 = 340000
Return on Investment = (Profit before Interest and Tax/Capital Employed) x 100 
= (140000/340000) x 100 = 41.17%

Q19: From the following, calculate
(a) Debt Equity Ratio 
(b) Total Assets to Debt Ratio 
(c) Proprietary Ratio.
NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Ans: 
(a) Debt-equity Ratio = Debt/Equity = 75000/175000 = 0.43:1
Debt = Debenture = 75000 
Equity/Shareholders Fund = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Accumulated Profits 
= 75000 + 25000 + 45000 + 30000 = 175000 
(b) Total Assets to Debt Ratio = Total Assets/Debt = 300000/75000 = 4:1
Total Assets = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Accumulated Profits + Debentures + Sundry Creditors + Outstanding Expenses (Since Total Liabilities is equal to Total Assets) 
= 75000 + 25000 + 45000 + 30000 + 75000 + 40000 + 10000 = 300000
(c) Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders Fund/Net Assets 
= 175000/300000 = 0.58:1

Q20: Cost of Revenue from Operations is Rs. 1,50,000. Operating expenses are Rs. 60,000. Revenue from Operations is Rs. 2,50,000. Calculate Operating Ratio.

Q21: Calculate the following ratio on the basis of following information: 
(i) Gross Profit Ratio 
(ii) Current Ratio 
(iii) Acid Test Ratio 
(iv) Inventory Turnover Ratio 
(v) Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio
NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - CommerceAns: 
(i) Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit/Revenue from Operations) x 100 
= (50000/100000) x 100 = 50% 
(ii) Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities 
= 60000/40000 = 1.5:1
Current Assets = Inventory + Trade Receivables + Cash and Cash Equivalents 
= 15000 + 27500 + 17500 = 60000 
(iii) Acid Test Ratio = Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities 
= 45000/40000 = 1.125:1
Liquid Assets = Current Assets – Inventory 
= 60000 – 15000 = 45000
(iv) Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory = 50000/15000 = 3.33 times 
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Revenue from Operations – Gross Profit = 100000 – 50000 = 50000 Average Inventory = 15000 
Note: Since value of inventory in the beginning and inventory at the end is not given, the amount of inventory is assumed to be average inventory. 
(v) Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Revenue from Operations/Net Fixed Assets 
= 100000/100000 = 1:1 
Net Fixed Assets = Land and Building + Plant and Machinery + Furniture 
= 50000 + 30000 + 20000 = 100000

Q22: From the following information calculate Gross Profit Ratio, Inventory Turnover Ratio and Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio.
NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios | Accountancy Class 12 - CommerceAns: 
(i) Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit/Net Revenue from Operations) x 100 
= (60000/300000) x 100 = 20% 
Gross Profit = Net Revenue from Operations – Cost of Revenue from Operations 
= 300000 – 240000 = 60000 
(ii) Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory 
= 240000/60000 = 4 times 
Average Inventory = Inventory in the Beginning + Inventory at the end)/2 
= (58000 + 62000)/2 = 120000/2 = 60000 
(iii) Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Revenue from Operations/Average Trade Receivables 
= 300000/32000 = 9.375 times

FAQs on NCERT Solution - Accounting Ratios - Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

1. What are accounting ratios and why are they important in financial analysis?
Ans.Accounting ratios are quantitative relationships between different financial statement items. They are important because they help stakeholders assess a company's financial health, performance, and efficiency. By analyzing these ratios, investors and managers can make informed decisions regarding investments and strategic planning.
2. What are the different types of accounting ratios?
Ans.The different types of accounting ratios include liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, efficiency ratios, solvency ratios, and market ratios. Each category serves a unique purpose: liquidity ratios assess a company's ability to meet short-term obligations, profitability ratios measure overall profitability, efficiency ratios evaluate how well resources are utilized, solvency ratios determine long-term financial stability, and market ratios provide insights into stock performance relative to earnings.
3. How do you calculate the current ratio, and what does it indicate?
Ans.The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities (Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities). It indicates a company's ability to pay off its short-term obligations with its short-term assets. A ratio greater than 1 suggests that the company has more current assets than current liabilities, which is generally seen as a positive sign of liquidity.
4. What is the significance of the debt-to-equity ratio in financial analysis?
Ans.The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by shareholders' equity (Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity). It signifies the proportion of debt used to finance the company's assets relative to the equity. A higher ratio indicates greater financial leverage and risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more conservative approach to financing.
5. How can accounting ratios assist in comparing companies within the same industry?
Ans.Accounting ratios assist in comparing companies within the same industry by standardizing financial data, allowing for apples-to-apples comparisons. By analyzing key ratios like profitability, efficiency, and liquidity, investors and analysts can identify which companies are performing better or worse than their peers, aiding in investment decisions and competitive analysis.
