Question 1.
From the following information., prepare a Comparative Income Statement:

Question 2.
What is Common-size Statements?
Meaning : Common-size statement is a statement expressing all items of a financial statement as a percentage of some measure of size of the enterprise. Thus, Common-size financial statement shows the percentage of each item to the total in each period. If the Balance Sheet and Income Statement items are shown in analytical percentage i.e., percentages or ratios to the total of appropriate items (total assets, total liabilities and total net sales) a common base for comparison is provided. The statements in this form are called Common-size Statements. Such statements are useful in studying the comparative financial position of two or more businesses. In Common-size Statements vertical analysis is required.

Common-size statements are often called ‘component percentage’ or ‘100 percent’ statements because each statement is reduced to the total of 100 and each individual item is stated as a percentage of the total of 100.
Common Size% = $$\frac{\text { Each Item of Revenue }}{\text { Net Sales }} \times 100$$

Question 3.
What are the limitations of Common-size Statements?
Following are the main limitations of common-size statements :

1. Difference between Different Activities : The use of this method is not possible when the various activities of a concern differ from each other.
2. Difference in Accounting Methods : If the accounting methods followed by two businesses are different, this method of analysis can not be used.
3. Difference in Heads of Account: If there is a difference between the various heads of accounts, i.e., different expenses are treated and written or collected, this method may give misleading conclusions.

Question 4.
Prepare common-size income statement of AB Ltd. with the help of the following information :

Question 5.
Ramu Ltd. has a current ratio of 3 : 1. If its stock is ₹ 30,000 and total current liabilities are ₹ 60,000, find out its stock.
Liquid Ratio = $$\frac{\text { Liquid Assets }}{\text { Current Liabilities }}$$
Given : Current Ratio = 3 : 1
Current Liabilities = ₹ 60,000
∴ Current Assets 60,000 × 3 = ₹ 1,80,000
Liquid Assets = Current Assets – Stock
= ₹ 1,80,000 – 30,000
= ₹ 1,50,000
Quick Ratio/Liquid Ratio = $$\frac{1,50,000}{60,000}$$ = $$\frac{15}{6}$$ or 2.5 : 1

Question 6.
AB Ltd. has a current ratio of 4.5 : 1 and a quick ratio of 3 : 1. If its stocks is ₹ 36,000, find out its Current Assets and Current Liabilities.
Let C.L. = x
∴ C.A. = 4.5x
L.A. = 3x
Stock = CA – L.A.
36,000 = 4.5x – 3x
36,000 = 1.5x
∴ x = $$\frac{36,000}{1.5}$$ x = 24,000
∴ C.L. = ₹ 24,000
C.A. = 4.5x = 4.5 × ₹ 24,000 = ₹ 1,08,000
C.A. = ₹ 1,08,000

Question 7.
What is Profitability Ratio? Explain.
Profitability Ratio : Profitability refers to the ability of a business to earn profit. It shows the efficiency of the business. These ratios measure the profit earning capacity of the company.

2. Limited Comparability : The ratio of the one firm can not always be compared with the performance of other firm, if uniform accounting policies are not adopted by them.
3. Lack of Standard Universally accepted Terminology : The ratio can be comparable only when uniform terminology is adopted by both the firms.

Question 9.
What does Debt-Equity Ratio indicate?
Debt-Equity Ratio : Debt-equity Ratios shows a relationship between long-term debts and shareholders’ funds. In other words, this ratio indicates the relationship between outsiders’ funds (i.e., lenders’ contribution) and shareholders’ funds (i.e., owner’s contribution). It is also known as External-Internal Equity Ratio. This ratio is calculated to measure the relative claims of outsiders and the shareholders against the firm’s assets.

Computation : It is calculated on the basis of the following formula :

Shareholder’s Funds or Net Worth or Equity Debt or Long term Debt = (Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + Capital Reserve + Revenue Reserve + Reserve for Contingencies + Retained Earnings + Sinking Funds) – Fictitious Assets such as accumulated losses and deferred expenses
= Debenture + Mortgage Loans + Bank Loan + Public Deposits and Other Long-term Loan

Question 10.
From the following particulars, calculate the Inventory Ratio for each year :

(i) Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchase – Closing Stock
For 2009-10 = ₹ 40,000+ 2,55,000 – 65,000 = ₹ 2,30,000
For 2010-11 = ₹ 65,000 + 3,40,000 – 50,000 = ₹ 3,55,000

Question 11.
Calculate the Gross Profit Ratio from the following :

Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Net Purchases – Closing Stock
= ₹ 80,000 + 1,50,000 – 30,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
Net Sales = ₹ 3,20,000 – 20,000= ₹ 3,00,000
Gross Profit = ₹ 3,00,000 – 2,00,000 = ₹ 1,00,000
Gross Profit Ratio = $$\frac{1,00,000}{3,00,000}$$ × 100 = $$33 \frac{1}{3} \%$$
