LIQUIDITY RATIO Liquidity ratios are the ratios that measure the ability of a company
to meet its short term debt obligations. These ratios measure the
ability of a company to pay off its short-term liabilities when they
fall due.
The liquidity ratios are a result of dividing cash and other liquid
assets by the short term borrowings & current liabilities.
The ratios under liquidity ratio are:
Current ratio
Quick ratio
Absolute liquid ratio
Inventory to working capital ratio
CURRENT RATIO An indication of a company's ability to meet short-term
debt obligations.
Higher the ratio the more liquid the company is.
If current assets are more than twice of the current liabilities then
it is considered to have good short term financial strength and if
current liabilities exceed current assets then company may have
problem to meet its short term obligations.
Formula:
Current ratio=Current assets/Current liabilities
Year Current Assets

INTERPRETATION To measure whether or not a company has enough resources to
pay its debt over the next business cycle, I have calculated the
Current Ratio, which shows a fluctuating trend of 0.60 in
2011 then 0.62 in 2010 and finally a slowdown from 0.66 in 2008
to 0.60 in 2009.Though the general rule is a company should have
neither more nor less liquidity rather a company should always
have sufficient liquidity and as we know that the Thumb Rule is
2:1 but the calculated Current Ratios show an in-sufficient
liquidity.
QUICK RATIO Measure of a company's liquidity and ability
to meet its obligations.
Also referred to as acid-test ratio and Liquid Asset ratio.
Liquid asset means all current asset except closing stock and
prepaid expenses.
Formula: quick ratio = liquid assets/current liabilities.

INTERPRETATION We have also calculated Quick Ratios to show a fluctuating trend
and a decline at the end of the year 2011. Though, the thumb
rule is that companies with a quick ratio of greater than 1.0 are
sufficiently able to meet their short-term liabilities but here the
company has low Quick Ratio indicating the company’s liquidity
position is not good enough
ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO In addition to computing current and quick ratio, some analysts
also compute absolute liquid ratio to test the liquidity of the
business.
Absolute liquid ratio is computed by dividing the absolute liquid
assets by current liabilities.
Formula: absolute liquid ratio = absolute liquid
assets/current liabilities.

INTERPRETATION To check whether the liquidity position of the company is
good or not we have also calculated absolute liquid ratio and
as we can see in every year the absolute liquid ratio is lower
than the thumb rule that is 1:2, so the company’s liquidity
position isn’t good.
INVENTORY TO WORKING CAPITAL RATIOWorking capital is known as excess of current assets over
current liabilities.Formula: Inventory to working capital ratio
=Inventory/working capital

Inventory to working capital ratio
inventory to w.c ratio
INTERPRETATION
The company total liabilities is greater than the total assets.
So the working capital we are getting is in negative terms.
So the organisations performance is not good due to the lesser assets.
FINDINGSIn current ratio, we have to find out current
asets and the current liabilities. In 2008, it is the highest as compared to other years. But it remains same in 2009 and 2011.
In quick ratio, we have to find out liquid assets and current liabilities. In 2008, it is highest as compared to other years . But it is lowest in 2007 and the ratio is showing average in 2009, 2010 and 2011
Cont……In absolute liquid ratio, we need to find out
theabsolute liquid assets and current liabilities. In 2008 , it is highest as compared to the other years. It is average in 2011,2010,2009 and lowest in 2007
In inventory to working capital ratio, we need to find out the working capital which requires current assets value and current liabilities value.
and inventory or closing stock. As, current liabilities exceeds current assets, so it is
showing negative terms in all years.
