    Five key ratios which reflect the financial health of the company

    1. Current Ratio

    Company Mar 10 Mar 11 Mar 12

    Maruti Suzuki India 0.91 1.47 1.02

    Mahindra & Mahindra 1.11 0.86 0.95

    Tata Motors 0.44 0.53 0.51

    Current ratio measures the capabilityof the company to pay short term loans. As the current

    ratio raises, paying the short term debts becomes easier. If the current ratio is greater than 1.0then the company has lesser debts to clear and if the current ratio is lower than 1.0 then the

    company has more debts to clear.

    From the chart (Current Ratio) in Appendix-I, in the financial year 2009-2010, Mahindra &

    Mahindra had the highest current ratio (1.11), followed by Maruti Suzuki India (0.91) and

    Tata Motors (0.44). In the financial year 2010-2011,Maruti Suzuki India had the highest

    current ratio (1.47), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra (0.86) and Tata Motors (0.53). In the

    financial year 2011-2012,Maruti Suzuki India had the highest current ratio (1.02), followed

    by Mahindra & Mahindra (0.95) and Tata Motors (0.51). From this we can see that Maruti

    Suzuki India is able to clear their short term debts with ease, whereas Mahindra & Mahindra

    face slight difficulties and Tata Motors is having a major difficulty in clearing their shortterm debts.

    2. Debt Equity Ratio

    Company Mar 10 Mar 11 Mar 12

    Maruti Suzuki India 0.07 0.02 0.07

    Mahindra & Mahindra 0.37 0.23 0.26

    Tata Motors 1.12 0.80 0.57

    Debt Equity Ratio shows the fraction of debt and equity to finance the assets of the company.

    If the company uses higher proportion of debt than equity then the company can hold higher

    profits for the shareholders of the company. Having higher debt than equity, the company is

    under the risk of separating the earnings between the same numbers of shareholders. Holding

    back debt benefits companies with tax shield as there is no tax on debt, but the interest

    amount should be paid on time.

    From the chart (Debt Equity ratio) in Appendix-I, in the financial year 2009-2010, Maruti

    Suzuki India has the lowest debt to equity ratio (0.07), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra

    (0.37) and Tata Motors (1.12). In the financial year 2010-2011, again Maruti Suzuki India has

    the lowest debt to equity ratio (0.02), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra (0.23) and Tata

    Motors (0.80). In the financial year 2011-2012, Maruti Suzuki India has the lowest debt toequity ratio (0.07), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra (0.26) and Tata Motors (0.57). Maruti

    7/22

    Suzuki India has consistently maintained a low debt to equity ratio in 3 financial years.

    Mahindra & Mahindra is having a fluctuating debt to equity ratio. Tata Motors has shown a

    decline in their debt to equity ratio, which is a good sign for potential shareholders.

    3. Inventory Turnover Ratio

    Company Mar 10 Mar 11 Mar 12

    Maruti Suzuki India 30.47 33.33 22.80

    Mahindra & Mahindra 17.91 15.64 14.99

    Tata Motors 13.50 13.86 13.37

    Inventory turnover ratio shows the number of times a companys stock is sold and replaced over a

    period. A low turnover ratio mean says the company is experiencing poor sales and there isabundant

    stock. A high turnover shows strong sales or inefficientpurchases of stock. If the company keeps a

    very high volume of stock, it is not advisable as it will block potential investment in other sectors.

    From the chart (Inventory turnover Ratio) in Appendix-I, in the financial year 2009-2010, Maruti

    Suzuki India has the highest Inventory turnover ratio (30.47), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra

    (17.91) and Tata Motors (13.50). In the financial year 2010-2011, again Maruti Suzuki India has the

    highest Inventory turnover ratio (33.33), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra (15.64) and Tata Motors

    (13.86). In the financial year 2011-2012, Maruti Suzuki India has the highest Inventory turnover ratio

    (22.80), followed by Mahindra & Mahindra (14.99) and Tata Motors (13.37). From this we can see

    that Maruti Suzuki India has maintained a high inventory ratio throughout 3 financial years and sold

    many products. Maruti Suzuki India also has the highest market share in Indian Automobile sector.

    4.

    Debtors Turnover Ratio

    Company Mar 10 Mar 11 Mar 12

    Maruti Suzuki India 33.92 42.93 38.84

    Mahindra & Mahindra 16.09 17.97 19.05

    Tata Motors 17.92 19.20 20.42

    Debtor turnover ratio shows the number of times the sundry debtors are converted into a form of

    cash. It shows the how many times the debts are cleared in a year. It measures of receivables from

    credit sale. Higher the debtor turnover ratio, the more efficient is the management. Lower the debtor

    turnover ratio, the lesser efficient is the management.From the chart (Debtors Turnover Ratio) in Appendix-I, in the financial year 2009-2010,

    Maruti Suzuki India has the highest Debtors turnover ratio (33.92), followed by Tata Motors

    (17.92) and Mahindra & Mahindra (16.09). In the financial year 2010-2011, Maruti Suzuki

    India has the highest Debtors turnover ratio (42.93), followed by Tata Motors (19.20) and

    Mahindra & Mahindra (17.97). In the financial year 2011-2012, Maruti Suzuki India has the

    highest Debtors turnover ratio (33.92), followed by Tata Motors (17.92) and Mahindra &

    Mahindra (16.09). From this we can say that Maruti Suzuki India has the most efficient

    management, compared to Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors.

    Tata Motors 6.26 3.74 2.26

    The Net Profit Margin Ratio shows the relationship between net profits (after tax) and net

    sales. If the net profit margin ratio higher, then better is the profitability of the company.

    Lower the net profit margin, lower is profitability of the company.

    From the chart (Net Profit Margin Ratio) in Appendix-I, in the financial year 2009-2010,

    Mahindra & Mahindra has the highest Net profit margin ratio (11.08), followed by Maruti

    Suzuki India (8.34) and Tata Motors (6.26). In the financial year 2010-2011, Mahindra &Mahindra has the highest Net profit margin ratio (11.14), followed by Maruti Suzuki India

    Equity (Net Worth). Charts are shown in Appendix-IV.

    Non-Financial Indicators

    (9th November, 2011) to Rs.161.45 (21st November, 2011). We can see that Maruti Suzuki

    India and Mahindra & Mahindra were affected the most by this news of major drop in sales

    in October and Tata Motors was least affected amongst the three companies. The fall in salestook place due to increase in the interest rate. The customers who purchase cars by taking a

    loan from the financial institutes, found the landing cost of the car to be increased and

    decided to wait for the interest rates to cool down.

    2. Jul 22, 2011Political rivalry makes Nano project at Singur suffer: TML - TataMotors today claimed before the Calcutta High Court that its Nano project suffered due to

    rivalry between two political parties in West Bengal and denied that it had abandoned

    Singur.

    Tata Motors had a drop in their share price (Closing price) from Rs.199.37 (22nd July, 2011)

    to Rs.139.84 (26th August, 2011). After Mamta Banerjee (Chief Minister, West Bengal) cased

    a file against Tata Motors in Calcutta High Court, the share price of Tata Motors experienced

    a slip.

    3. Mar 15, 2011Mahindra & Mahindra completes acquisition of majority stake inSsangYong Motor Company - Mahindra & Mahindra completes acquisition of majoritystake in SsangYong Motor Company.

    Mahindra & Mahindra was in the market since February, 2011. On 15th March, 2011

    Reflection

    This assignment helped me in understanding the concepts of Corporate Finance with personal

    experience. I have learned to realize the financial health of the company with Ratios. I have

    understood the importance of non-financial news, which can bring a major affect on the

    companys share price in different ways. I can study the capital structure and the cash flow ofthe company and find the current situation of the company. From this assignment I have

    understood the value of dividend policy, which shows how the company treats their

    shareholders.

    There were minimum problems faced during the assignment. The main problem faced was to

    trace the non-financial indicators, as there were lot of news in market which could bring a

    change in the companys share price. Yet, I had overcome that problem by analyzing the

    news which had brought a major change in the share price of the company.

    I have a few ideas on how differently I would like to do this assignment. Such as, in the

    questions where we had to study the ratios, cash flows, dividends and capital structure to find

    the negatives and positive. I would prefer finding the reason for the change in the same.
