Tools and Techniques of Financial Statement Analysis:


Following are the most important tools and techniques of financial statement analysis:
1. Horizontal and Vertical Analysis
2. Ratios Analysis
1. Horizontal and Vertical Analysis:
Horizontal Analysis or Trend Analysis:
Comparison of two or more year's financial data is known as horizontal analysis, or
trend analysis. Horizontal analysis is facilitated by showing changes between years in
both Rupees/Dollars and percentage form.

Trend Percentage:
Horizontal analysis of financial statements can also be carried out by computing trend
percentages. Trend percentage states several years' financial data in terms of a base
year. The base year equals 100%, with all other years stated in some percentage of this
base.
Vertical Analysis:
Vertical analysis is the procedure of preparing and presenting common size
statements. Common size statement is one that shows the items appearing on it in
percentage form as well as in dollar form. Each item is stated as a percentage of some
total of which that item is a part. Key financial changes and trends can be highlighted by
the use of common size statements.
2. Ratios Analysis:
Accounting Ratios Definition, Advantages, Classification and Limitations:
The ratios analysis is the most powerful tool of financial statement analysis. Ratios
simply mean one number expressed in terms of another. A ratio is a statistical yardstick
by means of which relationship between two or various figures can be compared or
measured. Ratios can be found out by dividing one number by another number. Ratios
show how one number is related to another.
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratios measure the results of business operations or overall performance
and effectiveness of the firm. Some of the most popular profitability ratios are as under:

Gross profit ratio

ratios are calculated to comment upon the short term paying capacity of a concern or
the firm's ability to meet its current obligations. Following are the most important liquidity
ratios.

Current ratio

Liquid / Acid test / Quick ratio

Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources of a firm
have been employed. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate
the speed with which assets are being turned over into sales. Following are the most
important activity ratios:

Inventory / Stock turnover ratio

Proprietary or Equity ratio

Ratio of fixed assets to shareholders funds

Ratio of current assets to shareholders funds

Financial Statement
Financial statements (or financial reports) are formal records of a business' financial
activities.
In British English, including United Kingdom company law, financial statements are
often referred to as accounts, although the term financial statements is also used,
particularly by accountants.
Financial statements provide an overview of a business' financial condition in both short
and long term. There are four basic financial statements:
1. Balance sheet: also referred to as statement of financial position or condition,
reports on a company's assets, liabilities and net equity as of a given point in
time.
2. Income statement: also referred to as Profit and Loss statement (or a "P&L"),
reports on a company's results of operations over a period of time.
3. Statement of retained earnings: explains the changes in a company's retained
earnings over the reporting period.
4. Statement of cash flows: reports on a company's cash flow activities,
particularly its operating, investing and financing activities.

For large corporations, these statements are often complex and may include an
extensive set of notes to the financial statements and management discussion and
analysis. The notes typically describe each item on the balance sheet, income
statement and cash flow statement in further detail. Notes to financial statements are
considered an integral part of the financial statements.

Purpose of financial statements


The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial
strength, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise that is useful to
a wide range of users in making economic decisions." Financial statements should be
understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable. Reported assets, liabilities and
equity are directly related to an organization's financial position. Reported income and
expenses are directly related to an organization's financial performance.
Financial statements are intended to be understandable by readers who have "a
reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and who are
willing to study the information diligently."
Owners and managers require financial statements to make important business
decisions that affect its continued operations. Financial analysis are then
performed on these statements to provide management with a more detailed
understanding of the figures. These statements are also used as part of
management's report to its stockholders, as it form part of its Annual Report.
Employees also need these reports in making collective bargaining agreements
(CBA) with the management, in the case of labor unions or for individuals in
discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings.
2. External Users: are potential investors, banks, government agencies and other
parties who are outside the business but need financial information about the business
for a diverse number of reasons.
Prospective investors make use of financial statements to assess the viability of
investing in a business. Financial analyses are often used by investors and is
prepared by professionals (financial analysts), thus providing them with the
basis in making investment decisions.

Financial institutions (banks and other lending companies) use them to decide
whether to grant a company with fresh working capital or extend debt securities
(such as a long-term bank loan or debentures) to finance expansion and other
significant expenditures.
Government entities (tax authorities) need financial statements to ascertain the
propriety and accuracy of taxes and other duties declared and paid by a
company.
Media and the general public are also interested in financial statements for a
variety of reasons

Income Statement
An Income Statement, also called a Profit and Loss Statement (P&L), is a financial
statement for companies that indicates how Revenue (money received from the sale of
products and services before expenses are taken out, also known as the "top line") is
transformed into net income (the result after all revenues and expenses have been
accounted for, also known as the "bottom line"). The purpose of the income statement is
to show managers and investors whether the company made or lost money during the
period being reported.
Charitable organizations that are required to publish financial statements do not
produce an income statement. Instead, they produce a similar statement that reflects
the fact that the charity is not operating to make a profit.

sales

salaries

Confidential

Page 25

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd

Non-operating section

Other revenues or gains - revenues and gains from other than primary
business activities (e.g. rent, patents). It also includes unusual gains and losses
that are either unusual or infrequent, but not both (e.g. sale of securities or fixed
assets).

Other expenses or losses - expenses or losses not related to primary business


operations.

Irregular items
They are reported separately because this way users can better predict future cash
flows - irregular items most likely won't happen next year. These are reported net of
taxes.

Discontinued operations is the most common type of irregular items. Shifting


business location, stopping production temporarily, or changes due to
technological improvement do not qualify as discontinued operations.

Extraordinary items are both unusual (abnormal) and infrequent, for example,
unexpected nature disaster, expropriation, prohibitions under new regulations.
Note: natural disaster might not qualify depending on location (e.g. frost damage
would not qualify in Canada but would in the tropics).

Changes in accounting principle is, for example, deciding to depreciate an


investment property that has previously not been depreciated. However, changes
in estimates (e.g. estimated useful life of a fixed asset) do not qualify.

Cash Flow
Cash flow is a term that refers to the amount of cash being received and spent by a
business during a defined period of time, sometimes tied to a specific project.
Measurement of cash flow can be used

to evaluate the state or performance of a business or project.

to determine problems with liquidity (In accounting, liquidity (or accounting


liquidity) is a measure of the ability of a debtor to pay his debts as and when they
fall due. It is usually expressed as a ratio or a percentage of current liabilities.).
Being profitable does not necessarily mean being liquid. A company can fail
because of a shortage of cash, even while profitable.

to generate project rate of returns. The time of cash flows into and out of projects
are used as inputs to financial models such as internal rate of return, and net
present value.

to examine income or growth of a business when it is believed that accrual


accounting concepts do not represent economic realities. Alternately, cash flow
can be used to 'validate' the net income generated by accrual accounting.

Cash flow as a generic term may be used differently depending on context, and certain
cash flow definitions may be adapted by analysts and users for their own uses.
Common terms (with relatively standardized definitions) include operating cash flow and
free cash flow.
The statement of cash flows is one of the main financial statements. (The other financial
statements are the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of stockholders'
equity.)
The cash flow statement reports the cash generated and used during the time interval
specified in its heading. The period of time that the statement covers is chosen by the

company. For example, the heading may state "For the Three Months Ended December
31, 2010" or "The Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010".

The cash flow statement organizes and reports the cash generated and used in the
following categories:

1.

Operating activities

converts the items reported on the income statement


from the accrual basis of accounting to cash.

2.

Investing activities

reports the purchase and sale of long-term investments


and property, plant and equipment.

3.

Financing activities

reports the issuance and repurchase of the company's


own bonds and stock and the payment of dividends.

4.

Classification
Cash flows can be classified into:
1. Operational cash flows: Cash received or expended as a result of the company's
core business activities. In financial accounting, operating cash flow (OCF),
cash flow provided by operations or cash flow from operating activities,
refers to the amount of cash a company generates from the revenues it brings in,
excluding costs associated with long-term investment on capital items or
investment in securities. The International Financial Reporting Standards defines
operating cash flow as cash generated from operations less taxation and interest
paid, investment income received and less dividends paid gives rise to operating
cash flows. To calculate cash generated from operations, one must calculate
cash generated from customers and cash paid to suppliers. The difference
between the two reflects cash generated from operations.

2. Investment cash flows: Cash received or expended through capital expenditure,


investments or acquisitions. Investment is putting money into something with the
expectation of profit. More specifically, investment is the commitment of money or
capital to the purchase of financial instruments or other assets so as to gain
profitable returns in the form of interest, income (dividends), or appreciation
(capital gains) of the value of the instrument. It is related to saving or deferring
consumption. Investment is involved in many areas of the economy, such as
business management and finance no matter for households, firms, or
governments. An investment involves the choice by an individual or an
organization, such as a pension fund, after some analysis or thought, to place or
lend money in a vehicle, instrument or asset, such as property, commodity, stock,
bond, financial derivatives (e.g. futures or options), or the foreign asset

denominated in foreign currency, that has certain level of risk and provides the
possibility of generating returns over a period of time.
Investment comes with the risk of the loss of the principal sum. The investment
that has not been thoroughly analyzed can be highly risky with respect to the
investment owner because the possibility of losing money is not within the
owner's control. The difference between speculation and investment can be
subtle. It depends on the investment owner's mind whether the purpose is for
lending the resource to someone else for economic purpose or not.
In the case of investment, rather than store the good produced or its money
equivalent, the investor chooses to use that good either to create a durable
consumer or producer good, or to lend the original saved good to another in
exchange for either interest or a share of the profits. In the first case, the
individual creates durable consumer goods, hoping the services from the good
will make his life better. In the second, the individual becomes an entrepreneur
using the resource to produce goods and services for others in the hope of a
profitable sale. The third case describes a lender, and the fourth describes an
investor in a share of the business. In each case, the consumer obtains a durable
asset or investment, and accounts for that asset by recording an equivalent
liability. As time passes, and both prices and interest rates change, the value of
the asset and liability also change.
An asset is usually purchased, or equivalently a deposit is made in a bank, in
hopes of getting a future return or interest from it. The word originates in the Latin
"vestis", meaning garment, and refers to the act of putting things (money or other
claims to resources) into others' pockets.[4] The basic meaning of the term being
an asset held to have some recurring or capital gains. It is an asset that is
expected to give returns without any work on the asset per se. The term
"investment" is used differently in economics and in finance. Economists refer to

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


a real investment (such as a machine or a house), while financial economists
refer to a financial asset, such as money that is put into a bank or the market,
which may then be used to buy a real asset

3. Financing cash flows: Cash received or expended as a result of financial


activities, such as receiving or paying loans, issuing or repurchasing stock, and
paying dividends. Finance (pronounced /fnnts/ or / fannts/) is the science
of funds management.[1] The general areas of finance are business finance,
personal finance, and public finance.[2] Finance includes saving money and
often includes lending money. The field of finance deals with the concepts of
time, money, risk and how they are interrelated. It also deals with how money is
spent and budgeted. One facet of finance is through individuals and business
organizations, which deposit money in a bank. The bank then lends the money
out to other individuals or corporations for consumption or investment and
charges interest on the loans.Loans have become increasingly packaged for
resale, meaning that an investor buys the loan (debt) from a bank or directly from
a corporation. Bonds are debt instruments sold to investors for organizations
such as companies, governments or charities.[3] The investor can then hold the
debt and collect the interest or sell the debt on a secondary market. Banks are
the main facilitators of funding through the provision of credit, although private
equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other organizations have become
important as they invest in various forms of debt. Financial assets, known as
investments, are financially managed with careful attention to financial risk
management to control financial risk. Financial instruments allow many forms of
securitized assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock
exchanges, including debt such as bonds as well as equity in publicly traded

corporations.[dubious discuss] Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve
System banks in the United States and Bank of England in the United Kingdom,
are strong players in public finance, acting as lenders of last resort as well as
strong influences on monetary and credit conditions in the economy.[4]
All three together are necessary to reconcile the beginning cash balance to the ending
cash balance.

Benefits from using Cash flow


The cash flow statement (In financial accounting, a cash flow statement, also known as
statement of cash flows or funds flow statement, is a financial statement that shows how
changes in balance sheet accounts and income affect cash and cash equivalents, and
breaks the analysis down to operating, investing, and financing activities.) is one of the
four main financial statements of a company. The cash flow statement can be examined
to determine the short-term sustainability of a company. If cash is increasing (and
operational cash flow is positive), then a company will often be deemed to be healthy in
the short-term. Increasing or stable cash balances suggest that a company is able to
meet its cash needs, and remain solvent. This information cannot always be seen in the
income statement or the balance sheet of a company. For instance, a company may be
generating profit, but still have difficulty in remaining solvent.
The cash flow statement breaks the sources of cash generation into three sections:
operational cash flows, investing, and financing. This breakdown allows the user of
financial statements to determine where the company is deriving its cash for operations.
For example, a company may be notionally profitable but generating little operational
cash (as may be the case for a company that barters its products rather than selling for
cash). In such a case, the company may be deriving additional operating cash by
issuing shares, or raising additional debt finance.
Companies that have announced significant writedowns of assets, particularly goodwill,
may have substantially higher cash flows than the announced earnings would indicate.
For example, telecoms firms that paid substantial sums for 3G licenses or for
acquisitions have subsequently had to write-off goodwill, that is, indicate that these
investments were now worth much less. These write-downs have frequently resulted in
large announced annual losses, such as Vodafone's announcement in May 2006 that it
had lost 21.9 billion due to a writedown of its German acquisition, Mannesmann, one

of the largest annual losses in European history. Despite this large "loss", which
represented a sunk cost, Vodafone's operating cash flows were solid: "Strong cash flow
is one of the most attractive aspects of the cellphone business, allowing operators like
Vodafone to return money to shareholders even as they rack up huge paper losses." [1]
In certain cases, cash flow statements may allow careful analysts to detect problems
that would not be evident from the other financial statements alone. For example,
WorldCom committed an accounting fraud that was discovered in 2002; the fraud
consisted primarily of treating ongoing expenses as capital investments, thereby
fraudulently boosting net income. Use of one measure of cash flow (free cash flow)
would potentially have detected that there was no change in overall cash flow (including
capital investments

Balance Sheet
In financial accounting (Financial accountancy (or financial accounting) is the field of
accountancy concerned with the preparation of financial statements for decision
makers, such as stockholders, suppliers, banks, employees, government agencies,
owners, and other stakeholders. Financial capital maintenance can be measured in
either nominal monetary units or units of constant purchasing power. The fundamental
need for financial accounting is to reduce principal-agent problem by measuring and
monitoring agents' performance and reporting the results to interested users. Financial
accountancy is used to prepare accounting information for people outside the
organization or not involved in the day to day running of the company. Management
accounting provides accounting information to help managers make decisions to
manage the business.
In short, Financial Accounting is the process of summarizing financial data taken from
an organization's accounting records and publishing in the form of annual (or more
frequent) reports for the benefit of people outside the organization. Financial
accountancy is governed by both local and international accounting standards.) , a
balance sheet or statement of financial position is a summary of the value of all assets,
liabilities and Ownership equity for an organization or individual on a specific date, such
as the end of its financial year. A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot" of a
company's financial condition on a given date. Of the four basic financial statements,
the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time, instead
of a period of time.
A company balance sheet has three parts: assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
The main categories of assets are usually listed first and are followed by the liabilities.
The difference between the assets and the liabilities is known as the net assets or the

Confidential

Page 35

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


net worth of the company. According to the accounting equation, net worth must equal
assets minus liabilities.
Records of the values of each account or line in the balance sheet are usually
maintained using a system of accounting known as the double-entry bookkeeping
system.
A simple business operating entirely in cash could measure its profits by simply
withdrawing the entire bank balance at the end of the period, plus any cash in hand.
However, real businesses are not paid immediately; they build up inventories of goods
to sell and they acquire buildings and equipment. In other words: businesses have
assets and so they could not, even if they wanted to, immediately turn these into cash at
the end of each period. Real businesses also owe money to suppliers and to tax
authorities, and the proprietors do not withdraw all their original capital and profits at the
end of each period. In other words businesses also have liabilities.

Types of balance sheets


A balance sheet summarizes an organization or individual's asset, equity and liabilities
at a specific point in time. Individuals and small businesses tend to have simple balance
sheets. Larger businesses tend to have more complex balance sheets, and these are
presented in the organization's annual report. Large businesses also may prepare
balance sheets for segments of their businesses.A balance sheet is often presented
alongside one for a different point in time (typically the previous year) for comparison.
Personal balance sheet
A personal balance sheet lists current assets such as cash in checking accounts and
savings accounts, long-term assets such as common stock and real estate, current
Confidential

Page 36

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


liabilities such as loan debt and mortgage debt due or overdue, and long-term liabilities
such as mortgage and other loan debt. Securities and real estate values are listed at
market value rather than at historical cost or cost basis. Personal net worth is the
difference between an individual's total assets and total liabilities.

Small business balance sheet


A small business balance sheet lists current assets such as cash, accounts receivable,
and inventory, fixed assets such as land, buildings, and equipment, intangible assets
such as patents, and liabilities such as accounts payable, accrued expenses, and longterm debt. Contingent liabilities such as warranties are noted in the footnotes to the
balance sheet. The small business's equity is the difference between total assets and
total

[10]

liabilities.

Corporate balance sheet structure


Guidelines for corporate balance sheets are given by the International Accounting
Standards Committee and numerous country-specific organizations.
Balance sheet account names and usage depend on the organization's country and the
type of organization. Government organizations do not generally follow standards
established for individuals or businesses.
If applicable to the business, summary values for the following items should be included
on the balance sheet:

Equity
The net assets shown by the balance sheet equals the third part of the balance sheet,
which is known as the shareholders' equity. Formally, shareholders' equity is part of the
company's liabilities: they are funds "owing" to shareholders (after payment of all other
liabilities); usually, however, "liabilities" is used in the more restrictive sense of liabilities
excluding shareholders' equity. The balance of assets and liabilities (including
shareholders' equity) is not a coincidence. Records of the values of each account in the
balance sheet are maintained using a system of accounting known as double-entry
bookkeeping. In this sense, shareholders' equity by construction must equal assets
minus liabilities, and are a residual.

The Balance Sheet Structure

The Balance Sheet logic is completely consistent with the two basic rules (the rules of
debit/credit) that were demonstrated at the beginning of the tutorial.
1. Debit Side- Describes either assets that belong to the business (property, a real
account, according to Rule No. 2 an asset is always a debit) or debts owed by

Confidential

Page 39

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


customers to us. Customers according to Rule No. 1 - are a personal account
that must be a debit (the accounting entity must have a "debt" to the business).
2. Credit Side- Describes the obligations of the business to either of two factors as
follows:
1. External agencies (suppliers, lenders and so forth).
2. The owner of the business (Capital Account or accumulated profits).
In either case, according to Rule 1 either the external agencies or the
owner of the business are eligible to be "credited" with money from the
business and therefore they are in credit.

Why does the Balance Sheet balance?


In principle, there are two explanations for why the Balance Sheet must balance.
1. A Logical Explanation.

The Balance Sheet is in fact made up of two parts while:


The total assets of the business (the debit side) = The total obligations to external
agencies (the credit side) + the total obligations to the owner of the business.

2. An accounting explanation
The Balance Sheet is made up directly from the Trial Balance (Balances) which is itself
a Balance Sheet. It is clear, therefore, that if we went from a Trial Balance to a Balance
Sheet, then the final result (a Balance Sheet), that also takes account of the balance in
the Profit and Loss Statement, will be balanced.

Financial Statement Analysis


Financial statement analysis is the process of examining relationships among financial
statement elements and making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable
tool used by investors and creditors, financial analysts, and others in their decisionmaking processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The goal in
analyzing financial statements is to assess past performance and current financial
position and to make predictions about the future performance of a company. Investors
who buy stock are primarily interested in a company's profitability and their prospects for
earning a return on their investment by receiving dividends and/or increasing the market
value of their stock holdings. Creditors and investors who buy debt securities, such as
bonds, are more interested in liquidity and solvency: the company's short-and long-run
ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts, who frequently specialize in following certain
industries, routinely assess the profitability, liquidity, and solvency of companies in order
to make recommendations about the purchase or sale of securities, such as stocks and
bonds.
Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company's most recent financial
statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other companies in
the same industry. Three primary types of financial statement analysis are commonly
known as horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis.
Horizontal Analysis
When an analyst compares financial information for two or more years for a single
company, the process is referred to as horizontal analysis, since the analyst is reading
across the page to compare any single line item, such as sales revenues. In addition to
comparing dollar amounts, the analyst computes percentage changes from year to year
for all financial statement balances, such as cash and inventory. Alternatively, in
Confidential

Page 42

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


comparing financial statements for a number of years, the analyst may prefer to use a
variation of horizontal analysis called trend analysis. Trend analysis involves calculating
each year's financial statement balances as percentages of the first year, also known as
the base year. When expressed as percentages, the base year figures are always 100
percent, and percentage changes from the base year can be determined.
Vertical Analysis
When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial
statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each
year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst
on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total
assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component
percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance
sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years
for a single company or across different companies.
Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis enables the analyst to compare items on a single financial statement or
to examine the relationships between items on two financial statements. After
calculating ratios for each year's financial data, the analyst can then examine trends for
the company across years. Since ratios adjust for size, using this analytical tool
facilitates inter company as well as intra many comparisons. Ratios are often classified
using the following terms: profitability ratios (also known as operating ratios), liquidity
ratios, and solvency ratios. Profitability ratios are gauges of the company's operating
success for a given period of time. Liquidity ratios are measures of the short-term ability
of the company to pay its debts when they come due and to meet unexpected needs for
cash. Solvency ratios indicate the ability of the company to meet its long-term
obligations on a continuing basis and thus to survive over a long period of time. In

judging how well on a company is doing, analysts typically compare a company's ratios
to industry statistics as well as to its own past performance.

Company Flashback
Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL), established in 1981, had a prime objective to meet the
growing demand of a personal mode of transport, which is caused due to lack of
efficient public transport system. The incorporation of the company was through an Act
of Parliament

Suzuki Motor Company of Japan was chosen from seven other prospective partners
worldwide. Suzuki was due not only to its undisputed leadership in small cars but also to
commitments to actively bring to MUL contemporary technology and Japanese
management

practices.

A license and a Joint Venture agreement were signed between Government of India and
Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.
The objectives of MUL then are as cited below:

Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.

Production of fuel-efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources.

Production of large number of motor vehicles which was necessary for economic
growth.

In 2001, MUL became one of the first automobile companies, globally, to be honored
with an ISO 9000:2000 certificate. The production/ R&D are spread across 297 acres
with 3 fully-integrated production facilities. The MUL plant has already rolled out 4.3
million vehicles. The fact says that, on an average two vehicles roll out of the factory in
every single minute. The company takes approximately 14 hours to make a car. Not
only this, with range of 11 models in 50 variants, Maruti Suzuki fits every car-buyer's
budget and any dream.

Liquidity Ratios
1.

Current Ratio:

Current ratio tells us the short- term financial position of the company. Current Ratio of
Maruti Suzuki has been increasing from 2003 till 2006 but has decreased in the year
2007.This is because current liabilities have increased more as compared to current
assets in 2007.

The current ratio is the best known ratio of financial analysis. It presents in relative
terms what net working capital measures in absolute terms.
1)- Calculation of current ratio
The current ratio (CR) is calculated by dividing current assets (i.e. working capital) by
current liabilities.

A current ratio may have different meanings depending on the point of view of an
analyst. It has a liquidating meaning - the ability to make all necessary payments today which gives a measure of protection or cushion for lenders. But, lenders are not
interested in receiving inventory in lieu of their claims, and they may look at the ratio as
an indication that the firm is able to generate funds to make all needed payments in the
future; thus, the ratio indicates whether the firm is likely to be a going concern. But, to

Confidential

Page 62

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


infer such a meaning, the ratio cannot be looked upon as a single statistic, and it is
necessary to analyze the degree of liquidity of the components of working capital, as it
is done later in this chapter.
A general rule of thumb suggests that the current ratio should be close to 2. As can be
seen in Table T-8.3, very few companies in the chosen sample meet the rule of thumb.

The food store and telephone company groups do not even come close to the supposed
desirable level of 2. Only in pharmaceuticals, is there a large proportion of firms with
adequate liquidity. Furthermore, if it is assumed that larger firms are the strongest firm,
then the pharmaceutical companies statistics suggest that the improvement in liquidity
is correlated with a position of strength in the industry. Unfortunately, such observation
is not universal because just the contrary seems to take place in food stores and travel
agencies: larger firms in these sectors have the worst liquidity. One may suspect that

Confidential

Page 63

the easy access to credit of large food store chains and the eagerness of food
manufacturers to place their products on store shelves explains their poor liquidity
picture; indeed trade payables of large food stores (at 20%) are more than three times
the size (6%) of those of small food stores.
The calculation of the ratio may require any of the modifications mentioned for working
capital and current liabilities.
Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures company's ability to pay its debt over the
next 12 months or its business cycle. Current Ratio formula is:

Current ratio is a financial ratio that measures whether or not a company has enough
resources to pay its debt over the next business cycle (usually 12 months) by
comparing firm's current assets to its current liabilities.
Acceptable current ratio values vary from industry to industry. Generally, a current ratio
of 2:1 is considered to be acceptable. The higher the current ratio is, the more capable
the company is to pay its obligations. Current ratio is also affected by seasonality.
If current ratio is bellow 1 (current liabilities exceed current assets), then the company
may have problems paying its bills on time. However, low values do not indicate a
critical problem but should concern the management. One exception to the rule is
considered fast-food industry because the inventory turns over much more rapidly than
the accounts payable becoming due.
Current ratio gives an idea of company's operating efficiency. A high ratio indicates
"safe" liquidity, but also it can be a signal that the company has problems getting paid
on its receivable or have long inventory turnover, both symptoms that the company may
not be efficiently using its current assets.

2. Quick Ratio:
This ratio indicates the working capital limit of the company. The quick ratio of the
company under observation is quite comfortable and healthy .It is increasing from 2003
till 2006 but has diminished in the year 2007.
Quick Ratio is an indicator of company's short-term liquidity. It measures the ability to
use its quick assets (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts
receivable) to pay its current liabilities. Quick ratio formula is:

Quick ratio specifies whether the assets that can be quickly converted into cash are
sufficient to cover current liabilities.
Ideally, quick ratio should be 1:1.
If quick ratio is higher, company may keep too much cash on hand or have a problem
collecting its accounts receivable. Higher quick ratio is needed when the company has
difficulty borrowing on short-term notes. A quick ratio higher than 1:1 indicates that the
business can meet its current financial obligations with the available quick funds on
hand.
A quick ratio lower than 1:1 may indicate that the company relies too much on inventory
or other assets to pay its short-term liabilities.
Many lenders are interested in this ratio because it does not include inventory, which
may or may not be easily converted into cash.
1) Calculation of quick ratio:
Quick or Acid Test Ratio (QR) is calculated by dividing current assets from which
inventory has been excluded, by current liabilities.
QR = (Cash+Marketable Securities+Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities

2)- Modifications to calculation


The numbers used in the calculation of quick ratio may need some correction for
reasons already mentioned for cash balance, and reasons still to come for current
liabilities. Since the exact amount of available liquidity is so important in this measure, it
is also appropriate to touch upon elements that can affect marketable securities.
Usually, these securities are highly marketable and thus it is easy to obtain recent
accurate quotations (as opposed to securities held for investment purpose which are
found as part of fixed assets and which may involve funds tied in closely held affiliates).
In most countries, the accounting rule used for reporting these securities is the cost
method. The cost method requires that the purchase price of a security be the basis of
its balance sheet valuation unless the current market value is lower, and the decline in
value is other than temporary. When such a decline is recorded, an account for
"valuation allowance" should be present on the balance sheet. If stocks and bonds have
been depressed, and the company does not have the value decline recorded, the
analyst may want to question whether the adjustment recommended by accounting
rules, has been made. When the stock and bonds have been on an upswing,
marketable securities are likely to be understated, but no correction can be expected on
the balance sheet. It will be up to the analyst to make his/her own adjustments
(provided sufficient detailed information is obtained from the firm).
See review question Q-8E2.1
3)- Interpretation of meaning
The quick ratio is a very stringent measure of solvency. When compared to the current
ratio, it may reveal the extent to which the firm is dependent on selling its inventory to
meet current obligations. Whether or not this is a problem obviously depends on how
liquid (i.e. sealable) inventory is, and thus, an additional analysis is always necessary. In
Confidential

fact, this measure is too stringent and narrow to allow meaningful implications about the
firm's future. But, a comparison over time may bring to light a deterioration of liquidity
foretelling oncoming insolvency, and therefore, it must never be overlooked.
A general rule of thumb suggests that the quick ratio should be around 1. As can be
seen in Table T-8.4, the rule of thumb holds for all the industries except one, food
stores.

The fact that quick ratio values are close to the theoretical value of one is surprising in
light of the widespread deviations of current ratio values from its theoretical value of
two, observed in Table T-8.3. This suggests that the quick ratio is more robust. In fact,
the apparent oddity of excessively low ratio for the food stores is not an oddity at all,
and should not lead anyone to believe that food stores in the United States will soon
close and people won't have any place to buy milk and bread. The reason is simply that
food stores did not - up until very recently - sell on credit.

3. Absolute Cash Ratio:


This ratio tests the liquidity on an immediate basis as it tests for liquidity with the cash
and near cash items only. The ratio has shown a considerable increase till 2006 but has
declined in the year 2007.
Cash Ratio is an indicator of company's short-term liquidity. It measures the ability to
use its cash and cash equivalents to pay its current financial obligations. Cash Ratio
formula is:

Cash ratio measures the immediate amount of cash available to satisfy short-term
liabilities. A cash ratio of 0.5:1 or higher is preferred.
Cash ratio is the most conservative look at a company's liquidity since is taking in the
consideration only the cash and cash equivalents.
Cash ratio is used by creditors when deciding how much credit, if any, they would be
willing to extend to the company.

Solvency Ratios
4. Debt-Equity Ratio:
It is a measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities
by stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is
using to finance its assets. As can be observed, the Equity ratio has been almost
constant over the years. This implies that the net worth of the company as a part of the
total assets has remained almost same. However the debt ratio has first decreased and
then increased. This is responsible for the trend of the Debt Equity Ratio as well.

Debt-to-Equity ratio indicates the relationship between the external equities or


outsiders funds and the internal equities or shareholders funds.
It is also known as external internal equity ratio. It is determined to ascertain
soundness of the long term financial policies of the company.

Formula of Debt to Equity Ratio:
Following formula is used to calculate debt to equity ratio
[Debt Equity Ratio = External Equities / Internal Equities]
Or
[Outsiders funds / Shareholders funds]
As a long term financial ratio it may be calculated as follows:
[Total Long Term Debts / Total Long Term Funds]
Or
[Total Long Term Debts / Shareholders Funds]
Components:
The two basic components of debt to equity ratio are outsiders funds i.e. external
equities and share holders funds, i.e., internal equities. The outsiders funds include all
debts / liabilities to outsiders, whether long term or short term or whether in the form of
debentures, bonds, mortgages or bills. The shareholders funds consist of equity share
capital, preference share capital, capital reserves, revenue reserves, and reserves
representing accumulated profits and surpluses like reserves for contingencies, sinking
funds, etc. The accumulated losses and deferred expenses, if any, should be deducted
from the total to find out shareholder's funds
Some writers are of the view that current liabilities do not reflect long term commitments
and they should be excluded from outsider's funds. There are some other writers who
suggest that current liabilities should also be included in the outsider's funds to calculate

debt equity ratio for the reason that like long term borrowings, current liabilities also
represents firm's obligations to outsiders and they are an important determinant of risk.
However, we advise that to calculate debt equity ratio current liabilities should be
included in outsider's funds. The ratio calculated on the basis outsider's funds excluding
liabilities may be termed as ratio of long-term debt to share holders funds.
Example:
From the following figures calculate debt to equity ratio:
Equity share capital
1,100,000

Capital reserve

500,000

Profit and loss account

200,000

6% debentures

500,000

Sundry creditors

240,000

Bills payable

120,000

Provision for taxation

180,000

Outstanding creditors

160,000
Required: Calculate debt to equity ratio.
Calculation:
External Equities / Internal Equities
= 1,200,000 / 18,000,000
= 0.66 or 4 : 6
It means that for every four dollars worth of the creditors investment the shareholders
have invested six dollars. That is external debts are equal to 0.66% of shareholders
funds.

Significance of Debt to Equity Ratio:
Debt to equity ratio indicates the proportionate claims of owners and the outsiders
against the firms assets. The purpose is to get an idea of the cushion available to
outsiders on the liquidation of the firm. However, the interpretation of the ratio depends
upon the financial and business policy of the company. The owners want to do the
business with maximum of outsider's funds in order to take lesser risk of their
investment and to increase their earnings (per share) by paying a lower fixed rate of
interest to outsiders. The outsiders creditors) on the other hand, want that shareholders
(owners) should invest and risk their share of proportionate investments. A ratio of 1:1 is
usually considered to be satisfactory ratio although there cannot be rule of thumb or
standard norm for all types of businesses. Theoretically if the owners interests are
greater than that of creditors, the financial position is highly solvent. In analysis of the
long-term financial position it enjoys the same importance as the current ratio in the
analysis of the short-term financial position.

5. Interest Coverage Ratio:


The interest coverage ratio is a measurement of the number of times a company could
make its interest payments with its earnings before interest and taxes; the lower the
ratio, the higher the companys debt burde n. The Interest Coverage Ratio has increased
till 2005 but has diminished since then.

Debt Service Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio:


Definition:

Confidential

Page 72

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


Interest coverage ratio is also known as debt service ratio or debt service coverage
ratio.
This ratio relates the fixed interest charges to the income earned by the business. It
indicates whether the business has earned sufficient profits to pay periodically the
interest charges. It is calculated by using the following formula.
Formula of Debt Service Ratio or interest coverage ratio:
[Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit Before Interest and Tax / Fixed Interest
Charges]

Page 73

Example:
If the net profit (after taxes) of a firm is $75,000 and its fixed interest charges on longterm borrowings are $10,000. The rate of income tax is 50%.
Calculate debt service ratio / interest coverage ratio
Calculation:
Interest Coverage Ratio = (75,000* + 75,000* + 10,000) / 10,000
= 16 times
*Income after interest is $7,5000 + income tax $75,000
Significance of debt service ratio:
The interest coverage ratio is very important from the lender's point of view. It
indicates the number of times interest is covered by the profits available to pay interest
charges.
It is an index of the financial strength of an enterprise. A high debt service ratio or
interest coverage ratio assures the lenders a regular and periodical interest income. But
the weakness of the ratio may create some problems to the financial manager in raising
funds from debt sources.
General Guidelines for the Interest Coverage Ratio
As a general rule of thumb, investors should not own a stock that has an interest
coverage ratio under 1.5. An interest coverage ratio below 1.0 indicates the business is
having difficulties generating the cash necessary to pay its interest obligations. The
history and consistency of earnings is tremendously important. The more consistent a
companys earnings, the lower the interest coverage ratio can be.

EBIT has its short comings, though, because companies do pay taxes, therefore it is
misleading to act as if they didnt. A wise and conservative investor would simply take
the companys earnings before interest and divide it by the interest expense. This would
provide a more accurate picture of safety, even if it is more rigid than absolutely
necessary.

Profitability Ratios
6. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
It is a ratio that indicates the efficiency and profitability of a company's capital
investments. ROCE should ideally be higher than the rate at which the company
borrows, otherwise any increase in borrowing will reduce shareholders' earnings. ROCE
has increased till 2005 but has diminished since then.

Return on Capital Employed Ratio (ROCE Ratio):


The prime objective of making investments in any business is to obtain satisfactory
return on capital invested. Hence, the return on capital employed is used as a measure
of success of a business in realizing this objective.
Return on capital employed establishes the relationship between the profit and the
capital employed. It indicates the percentage of return on capital employed in the
business and it can be used to show the overall profitability and efficiency of the
business.
Definition of Capital Employed:
Confidential

Page 75

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


Capital employed and operating profits are the main items. Capital employed may be
defined in a number of ways. However, two widely accepted definitions are "gross
capital employed" and "net capital employed". Gross capital employed usually means
the total assets, fixed as well as current, used in business, while net capital employed
refers to total assets minus liabilities. On the other hand, it refers to total of capital,
capital reserves, revenue reserves (including profit and loss account balance),
debentures and long term loans.
Calculation of Capital Employed:
Method--1. If it is calculated from the assets side, It can be worked out by adding the
following:
1. The fixed assets should be included at their net values, either at original cost or
at replacement cost after deducting depreciation. In days of inflation, it is better to
include fixed assets at replacement cost which is the current market value of the
assets.
2. Investments inside the business
3. All current assets such as cash in hand, cash at bank, sundry debtors, bills
receivable, stock, etc.
4. To find out net capital employed, current liabilities are deducted from the total of
the assets as calculated above.
Gross capital employed = Fixed assets + Investments + Current assets
Net capital employed = Fixed assets + Investments + Working capital*.
*Working capital = current assets current liabilities.
Precautions For Calculating Capital Employed:

Confidential

Page 76

2/3/2016

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


While capital employed is calculated from the asset side, the following precautions
should be taken:
1. Regarding the valuation of fixed assets, nowadays it is considered necessary to
value the assets at their replacement cost. This is with a view to providing for the
continuing problem of inflations during the current years. Under replacement cost
methods the fixed assets are to be revalued on the basis of their current market
prices either by reference to reliable published index numbers, or on valuation of
experts. When replacement cost method is used, the provision for depreciation
should be recalculated since depreciation charged might have been calculated
on original cost of assets.
2. Idle assetsassets which cannot be used in the business should be excluded
from capital employed. However, standby plant and machinery essential to the
normal running of the business should be included.
3. Intangible assets, like goodwill, patents, trade marks, rights, etc. should be
excluded. However, if they have sale value or if they have been purchased they
may be included. Investments made outside the business should be excluded.
4. All current assets should be properly valued. Any excess balance of cash or bank
than required for the smooth running of the business should be excluded.
5. Fictitious assets, like preliminary expenses, accumulated losses, discount on
issue of shares or debentures, advertisement, suspense account, etc. should be
excluded.
6. Obsolete assets which cannot be used in the business or obsolete stock which
cannot be sold should be excluded.
Method--2. Alternatively, capital employed can be calculated from the liabilities side of a
balance sheet. If it is calculated from the liabilities side, it will include the following items:

Some people suggest that average capital employed should be used in order to give
effect of the capital investment throughout the year. It is argued that the profit earned
remain in the business throughout the year and are distributed by way of dividends only
at the end of the year. Average capital may be calculated by dividing the opening and
closing capital employed by two. It can also be worked out by deducting half of the profit
from capital employed.
Computation of profit for return on capital employed:
The profits for the purpose of calculating return on capital employed should be
computed according to the concept of "capital employed used". The profits taken must
be the profits earned on the capital employed in the business. Thus, net profit has to be
adjusted for the following:

Net profit should be taken before the payment of tax or provision for taxation
because tax is paid after the profits have been earned and has no relation to the
earning capacity of the business.

If the capital employed is gross capital employed then net profit should be
considered before payment of interest on long-term as well as short-term
borrowings.

If the capital employed is used in the sense of net capital employed than only
interest on long term borrowings should be added back to the net profits and not

interest on short term borrowings as current liabilities are deducted while
calculating net capital employed.

If any asset has been excluded while computing capital employed, any income
arising from these assets should also be excluded while calculating net profits.
For example, interest on investments outside business should be excluded.

Net profits should be adjusted for any abnormal, non recurring, non operating
gains or losses such as profits and losses on sales of fixed assets.

Net profits should be adjusted for depreciation based on replacement cost, if


assets have been added at replacement cost.

Formula of return on capital employed ratio:


[Return on Capital Employed=(Adjusted net profits*/Capital employed)100]
*Net profit before interest and tax minus income from investments.
Significance of Return on Capital Employed Ratio:
Return on capital employed ratio is considered to be the best measure of profitability
in order to assess the overall performance of the business. It indicates how well the
management has used the investment made by owners and creditors into the business.
It is commonly used as a basis for various managerial decisions. As the primary
objective of business is to earn profit, higher the return on capital employed, the more
efficient the firm is in using its funds. The ratio can be found for a number of years so as
to find a trend as to whether the profitability of the company is improving or otherwise.

7. Return on equity:

This ratio indicates the returns on investment made by the shareholder of the compan y.
Put another way, Return on Net Worth indicates how well a company leverages the
investment in it. It may appear higher for startups and sole proprietorships due to owner
compensation draws accounted as net profit. The ratio has risen considerably from
2003 to 2005 but has declined through 2006 and 2007.

Return on Equity (ROE) is an indicator of company's profitability by measuring how


much profit the company generates with the money invested by common stock owners.
It is also known as Return on Net Worth. Return on Equity formula is:

Return on Equity shows how many dollars of earnings result from each dollar of equity.
Net income is considered for the full fiscal year after taxes and preferred stock
dividends but before common stock dividends. Shareholders' Equity does not include
preferred stocks and is used as an annual average.
Return on Equity varies substantially across different industries. Therefore, it is
recommended to compare return on equity against company's previous values or return
of a similar company.
Some industries have high return on equity because they require less capital invested.
Other industries require large infrastructure build before generating any revenue. It is
not a fair conclusion that the industries with a higher Return on Equity ratio are better
investment than the lower ones. Generally, the industries which are capital-intensive
and with a low return on equity have a limited competition. But, the industries with high
return on equity and small assets bases have a much higher competition because it is a
lot easier to start a business within those industries.

Return on Equity is one of the profitability ratios and is usually expressed as a
percentage.
The amount of money the management team of a company is able to generate with the
existing resources is what you should look at when you decide on the investment in a
particular company. This is commonly referred to as management efficiency. Two ratios
that are usually used in order to measure it are return on equity (ROE) and return on
assets (ROA).
Since a company has limited resources and it should put them in the most efficient use,
ROE and ROA aim to measure the earnings that the company manages to generate
through such efficient use of resources.
In order to calculate return on equity you should divide the company's income by its
common equity or book value. Since the company employs a specific amount of equity
capital this ratio gives you return that it generates from this capital. ROE is expressed in
percentage.

8. Net Profit Margin Ratio:
The profit margin ratios state how much profit the company makes for every dollar of
sales. The net profit margin ratio is the most commonly used profit margin ratio. The
ratio has shown a considerable rise since 2003 but has decreased in the financial year
2006-2007.

A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits
divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually
keeps

in

earnings.

Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A higher
profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs
compared to its competitors. Profit margin is displayed as a percentage; a 20% profit
margin, for example, means the company has a net income of $0.20 for each dollar of
sales.
Investopedia explains Profit Margin
Looking at the earnings of a company often doesn't tell the entire story. Increased
earnings are good, but an increase does not mean that the profit margin of a company
is improving. For instance, if a company has costs that have increased at a greater rate
than sales, it leads to a lower profit margin. This is an indication that costs need to be
under better control.
Imagine a company has a net income of $10 million from sales of $100 million, giving it
a profit margin of 10% ($10 million/$100 million). If in the next year net income rises to
$15 million on sales of $200 million, the company's profit margin would fall to 7.5%. So
while the company increased its net income, it has done so with diminishing profit
margins.

Formulas to calculate profit margin ratios:


Net Profit Margin Ratio (After Tax Margin Ratio) = net profit after tax / sales.
Pretax Margin Ratio = net profit before taxes / sales.

dollar of sales.
The net profit margin ratio is the most commonly used profit margin ratio.
A low profit margin ratio indicates that low amount of earnings, required to pay fixed
costs and profits, and are generated from revenues.
A low profit margin ratio indicates that the business is unable to control its production
costs.
The profit margin ratio provides clues to the company's pricing, cost structure and
production efficiency.

9. Gross Profit Margin Ratio:


A low profit margin ratio indicates that low amount of earnings, required to pay fixed
costs and profits, is generated from revenues. A low profit margin ratio indicates that the
business is unable to control its production costs. Gross profit ratio has been more or
less same in the concerned period.

Gross Profit Margin


Although we are only a few lines into the income statement, we can already calculate
our first financial ratio. The gross profit margin is a measurement of a company's
manufacturing and distribution efficiency during the production process. The gross profit
tells an investor the percentage of revenue / sales left after subtracting the cost of
goods sold. A company that boasts a higher gross profit margin than its competitors and
industry is more efficient. Investors tend to pay more for businesses that have higher
efficiency ratings than their competitors, as these businesses should be able to make a
decent profit as long as overhead costs are controlled (overhead refers to rent, utilities,
etc.)
To calculate gross profit margin, use this formula: Gross Profit Total Revenue
Calculating Sample Gross Profit Margin
For illustration purposes, let's calculate the gross profit margin of Greenwich Golf
Supply (a fictional company) using its income statement. You will find the statement at
the bottom of this page in Table GGS-1.

Assume the average golf supply company has a gross margin of 30%. (You can find this
sort of industry-wide information in various financial publications, online finance sites
such as moneycentral.com, or rating agencies such as Standard and Pores).
We can take the numbers from Greenwich Golf Supply's income statement and plug
them into our formula:
$162,084 gross profit $405,209 total revenue = 0.40
The answer, .40 (or 40%), tells us that Greenwich is much more efficient in the
production and distribution of its product than most of its competitors.
Gross Profit Margin over Time
The gross margin tends to remain stable over time. Significant fluctuations can be a
potential sign of fraud or accounting irregularities. If you are analyzing the income
statement of a business and gross margin has historically averaged around 3%-4%, and
suddenly it shoots upwards of 25%, you should be seriously concerned. For more
information on warning signs of accounting fraud, I recommend Howard Schilit's

Hypothesis Testing:

Financial Planning and Strategy of Maruti Udyog Ltd


Hypothesis testing is the rational framework for applying statistical tests.
The main question we usually wish to extract from a statistic is whether the sample data
is significant or not. For example, lets say we have a hat with two kinds of numbers in it:
some of the numbers are drawn from a standard normal distribution (i.e. 2 = 1) with
mean = 0, and some of the numbers are drawn from a standard normal distribution
with unknown mean.
Now lets say we take a number out of the hat. There are two hypotheses that are
possible:
H0: the null hypothesis. The number is from a standard normal distribution with = 0.
HA: the alternative hypothesis. The number is not from a standard normal distribution
with
= 0.
The art of statistics is in finding good ways of formulating criteria, based on the value of
one more statistics, to either accept or reject the null hypothesis H0.

Figure 1: Numbers drawn from two different standard normal distributions are thrown
into John Choderas hat.
It should be noted that H0 and HA can be almost anything, and as complicated or as
simple as we wish. If a hypothesis is stated such that it specifies the entire distribution,
we call it a simple hypothesis. Otherwise, we call it a composite hypothesis. As you
might imagine, more rigorous tests can be done with simple hypotheses, because they
specify the entire distribution, from which probability values can be computed.

Type I and Type II errors. In any testing situation, two kinds of error could occur:
Type I (false positive). We reject the null hypothesis when its actually true.
Type II (false negative). We accept the null hypothesis when its actually false.
Say I hand you a profit booking statement of the Maruti. How would you tell if its fair? If
you studied the market sales turnover for last 10 years and it may came up 6 times that
the turnover is more than 2,00,000 m, what would you say? What if it came up heads 3
times, instead?
In the first case youd be inclined to say that the sales turn over was fair and in the
second case youd be inclined to say it was biased towards unfair. How certain are you?
Or, even more specifically, how likely is it actually that the turn over is more than
2,00,000 m in each case?
Hypothesis Testing
Questions like the ones above fall into a domain called hypothesis testing. Hypothesis
testing is a way of systematically quantifying how certain you are of the result of a
statistical experiment.
In the Sales turn over example the experiment was analysis of past 10 years turnover
and market tendency. There are two questions you can ask. One, assuming that the
turn over more than 2, 00,000 m was fair, how likely is it that youd observe the results
we did? Two, what is the likelihood that the turn over fair given the results you
observed?
Of course, an experiment can be much more complex than the turn over results. Any
situation where youre taking a random sample of a population and measuring
something about it is an experiment, and for our purposes this includes A/B testing.

Lets focus on the turn over to example understand the basics.

The Null Hypothesis


The most common type of hypothesis testing involves a null hypothesis. The null
hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement about the world which can plausibly account for
the data you observe. Dont read anything into the fact that its called the null
hypothesis its just the hypothesis were trying to test.
For example, the turn over is more than 2, 00,000 m is an example of a null
hypothesis, as is the turnover is biased. The important part is that the null hypothesis
be able to be expressed in simple, mathematical terms. Well see how to express these
statements mathematically in just a bit.
The main goal of hypothesis testing is to tell us whether we have enough evidence to
reject the null hypothesis. In our case we want to know whether the turn over of 2,
00,000 m is biased or not, so our null hypothesis should be the turnover is more than 2,
00,000 m is fair. If we get enough evidence that contradicts this hypothesis, say, by
comparing and analyzing and predicting the companys turn over based on the previous
turn over and having it not come up with as expected results, then we can safely reject
it.
All of this is perfectly quantifiable, of course. What constitutes enough and safely are
all a matter of statistics.
The Statistics, Intuitively

So, we a turn over analysis report of past 10 years. Our null hypothesis is that the
analysis of the company is fair. We analyze and predict based on the past records and it
comes up as expected. Do we know whether the forecasted or expected turn over is
biased or not?
Our gut might say that as expected the company is turnover is fair, or at least probably
fair, but we cant say for sure. The expected turn over of the company is say 1,80,000 m
and 2,00,000 m is quite close. But what if we consider the turnover over results of past
100 years and predict the turnover of the forthcoming result and it came up 6 times? We
see 2,00,000 m turnover both times, but in the second instance the turnover is more
likely to be biased.
Lack of evidence to the contrary is not evidence that the null hypothesis is true. Rather,
it means that we dont have sufficient evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis is
false.

The Data
Lets say we forecast or analyzed the companys turnover say 2,00,000m and got the
following data.
Data for 2,00,00 M Turnover

Graphical representation of above table chart:

Using a 95% confidence level wed conclude that year 2009 and year 2010 are biased
using the techniques weve developed so far. Year 2009 is 2.04 standard deviations
from the mean and 2010 is 5.77 standard deviations.
When your test statistic meets the 95% confidence threshold we call it statistically
significant.
This means theres only a 5% chance of observing what you did assuming the null
hypothesis was true. Phrased another way, theres only a 5% chance that your
observation is due to random variation.

Recap
Hypothesis testing is a way of systematically quantifying how certain you are of the
result of a statistical experiment. You start by forming a null hypothesis, e.g., this
turnover of the company is fair, and then calculate the likelihood that your observations
are due to pure chance rather than a real difference in the population.
The confidence interval is the level at which you reject the null hypothesis. If there is a
95% chance that theres a real difference in your observations, given the null
hypothesis, then you are confident in rejecting it. This also means there is a 5% chance
youre wrong and the difference is due to random fluctuations.
The null hypothesis can be any mathematical statement and the test you use depends
on both the underlying data and your null hypothesis. In our companys turnover
example the underlying data approximated a normal distribution and we wanted to test
whether the observed proportion of meeting the turnover of 2,00,000 m was different
enough to be significant. In this case we were measuring the sample mean.
We can measure anything, though: the sample variance, correlation, etc. Different tests
needs to be used to determine whether these are statistically significant.
