Accounting Ratios - Class 12 Commerce Accountancy - Extra Questions

How current ratio is different from quick ratio?

Both are short term solvency or liquidity ratios. Current ratio is the ratio most commonly used to measure the short-term financial analysis. In this ratio, current assets are divided by current liabilities. Quick ratio or Acid test ratio shows the business ability to meet its immediate commitment. Formula of this ratio is Quick or Liquid assets divided by current liabilities. Quick asset is current asset minus closing stock and prepaid expenses.


What do you mean by composite ratios?

A composite ratio or combined ratio compares two variables from two different accounts. For example, if the variables from both profit and loss account and balance sheet are used, it forms a composite ratio, such as Trade Receivable Turnover ratio, where trade receivables from the balance sheet and revenue from operations from profit and loss account are used.



What do you mean by current ratio?

The current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It is a measure of liquidity of a company at a certain date. It measures a company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets.
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities


What are activity or turnover ratios?

Activity or turnover ratios are the ratios that calculate the efficiency of operations of a business based on its utilization of resources. They are also known as productivity ratios, efficiency ratios, or more famously as turnover ratios. These ratios show the relationship between sales and any given asset.



What is Proprietary Ratio?

The proprietary ratio expresses the relationship between proprietor's funds, i.e., shareholder's funds, and net assets or capital employed of the company. 
Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders' Funds / Capital employed (or net assets).


What are liquidity ratios?

Liquidity ratios are the ratios that evaluate the firm's ability to pay its short-term liabilities, i.e. current liabilities. It shows the liquidity levels, i.e. the ratio of their assets that can be quickly converted to cash to pay off their short-term obligations when they become due.


What do you mean by Inventory Turnover Ratio?

The Inventory Turnover Ratio is the ratio that focuses on the relationship between the cost of goods sold and average stock. It studies the frequency of conversion of inventory of finished goods into revenue from operations.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations / Average Inventory.



What is Interest Coverage Ratio?

The interest coverage ratio measures the security of interest payable on long-term debts.
It shows the number of times interest on long-term debts is covered by the profits available for interest.
Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit before Interest and Tax / Interest on long-term debts.

The proprietary ratio of M. Ltd. is 0.80:1. 
State with reasons whether the following transactions will increase, decrease or not change the proprietary ratio:
(i) Obtained a loan from bank Rs 2,00,000 payable after five years.
(ii) Purchased machinery for cash Rs 75,
(iii) Redeemed 5% redeemable preference shares Rs 1,00,000.
(iv) Issued equity shares to the vendors of machinery purchased for Rs 4,00,000. 

Transaction Implication 
Obtained a loan from bank Rs 2,00,000 payable after five years.  Total assets are increasing by 2,00,000 (as cash is coming in) but shareholders' funds remain intact, so proprietary ratio will decrease.
Purchased machinery for cash Rs 75,000.Total assets are increasing and decreasing by 75,000 simultaneously (as cash is going out and machinery is coming in), hence both numerator and denominator remain intact, therefore proprietary ratio will not change. 
Redeemed 5% redeemable preference shares Rs 1,00,000.Both shareholders' funds and total assets decrease by 1,00,000 simultaneously and proprietary ratio decreases.
Issued equity shares to the vendors of machinery purchased for Rs 4,00,000.
Both shareholders' funds and total assets increase by 4,00,000 simultaneously and proprietary ratio improves. 


From the following information obtained from the books of Kundan Ltd., calculate the inventory turnover ratio for the years 2015-16 and 2016-17:
2015-16
     Rs.		2016-17
     Rs.
Inventory on 31st March7,00,00017,00,000
Revenue from operations50,00,00075,00,000
(Gross profit is 25% on cost of revenue from operations)
In the year 2015-16, inventory increased by Rs. 2,00,000

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold (COGS)
                                                      Average Inventory

2015-16
Gross Profit = 25% of cost = 20% of sales = 20/100 X 75,00,000 = Rs. 15,00,000

Cost of goods sold = Revenue from operations - Gross profit 
            =  50,00,000 - 10,00,000
            = Rs. 40,00,000

Average Inventory = 5,00,000 + 7,00,000 =  12,00,000 = Rs. 6,00,000
                                                   2                             2

Inventory turnover ratio = 40,00,000 = 6.7 times
                                             6,00,000

2016-17
Gross profit = 20% of sale = 20 X 50,00,000 = Rs. 10,00,000
                                               100
Cost of goods sold = Revenue from operations - Gross profit
                                 = 75,00,000 - 15,00,000
                                 = Rs. 60,00,000

Average inventory = 7,00,000 + 17,00,000 = 24,00,000 = Rs. 12,00,000
                                                  2                             2

Inventory turnover ratio =  60,00,000 = 5 times
                                             12,00,000

Answer the following question in only 'one' sentence.
What is the formula for calculating gross profit ratio?

Gross Profit is the total revenue amount that a company earns before deducting the expenses connected with that revenue. To calculate Gross Profit, you should know the total amount of Net Sales and the total amount of Cost of Goods Sold. The formula of Gross Profit is Gross Profit = Net Sales – Cost of Goods Sold.


Answer the following question in only 'one' sentence.
What is 'qualified acceptance'?

Qualified acceptance is a type of acceptance where the acceptance is subject to a condition. Qualified acceptance is a sort of counteroffer. Qualified acceptance brings in variations to the sum, mode, or place of payment in a contract.


Calculate the Net Profit Ratio (up to two decimal places) from the following information:
Particulars       Rs.
Gross Profit   80,000
Salary and rent   30,000
Interest on Debentures     5,000
Gain on sale of furniture     2,000
Revenue from Operations4,00,000

  Particulars Rs.
  Gross Profit 80000
Add Gain on sale of furniture  2000
 Less Salary and rent(30000) 
 Less Interest on Debenture (5000)
  Net profit
 47000
Net profit ratio = [Net profit/ Revenue from operations] x 100
                          =[47000/400000] x 100
                          = 11.75%


The Quick Ratio of a company is 0.8:1. State whether the Quick Ratio will improve, decline or will not change in the following cases:
(i) Cash collected from Debtors Rs.50,000
(ii) Creditors of Rs.20,000 paid off.

Let Quick Assets = Rs.80000 and Current Liabilities = Rs.100000
Quick Ratio = Quick assets/Current liabilities
                     = 80000/100000
                      = 0.8:1
Now,
(i) When Rs.50000 cash is collected from debtors there would be no net increase or decrease in the quick assets as the cash balance would increase and the debtors balance would decrease simultaneously. And so the Quick ratio would not change.
(ii) When creditors of Rs.20000 are paid off then there would be decrease in both the creditors balance and the cash balance. The revised Quick ratio = [80000−20000]/[100000−20000]
                   = 0.75:1
And so quick ratio would decline in this scenario.




Write a word/term/phrase as a substitute of the following statements:
The ratio measuring the relationship between gross profit and net sales.

The ratio measuring the relationship between gross profit and net sales is called as Gross Profit Ratio.


(a) From the following information, compute Debt-Equity Ratio: 
Long Term Borrowings - 2,00,000
Long Term Provisions - 1,00,000
Current Liabilities - 50,000
Non-current-Assets - 3,60,000
Current-Assets - 90,000 
(b) The current ratio of X. Ltd is 2 :State with reason which of the following transaction would (i) increase; (ii) decrease or (iii) not change the ratio. 
(1) Included in the trade payables was a bills payable of Rs 9,000 which was met on maturity.
(2) Company issued 1,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each to the Vendors of machinery purchased. 

Debt- Equity Ratio =Long−TermDebtShareholder′sFunds
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Shareholder's Funds 
Total Assets = Current Assets + Non-Current Assets 
                    = 1,80,000 + 7,20,000 = 9,00,000 
Total Liabilities = Long Term Borrowings + Long-Term Provisions + Current Liabilities 
= 4,00,000 +2,00,000+1,00,000 = 7,00,000 
Therefore, Shareholder's funds = Total Assets Total Liabilities 
= 9,00,000 7,00,000 = 2,00,000 Long-Term Debt = Long Term Borrowings + Long-term Provisions = 4,00,000+2,00,000 = Rs 6,00,000 

Therefore, Debt -equity ratio =6,00,0002,00,000=3:1
(b) Current ratio =CurrentAssetsCurrentLiabilities
(1) A bill payable of Rs. 9,000 was met on maturity will affect:
1.Trade Payable will reduce by Rs.9,000
2.Cash will reduce by Rs.9,000
Simultaneous decreases in current assets and current liabilities will improve current ratio 
Issue of share of Rs.10,00,000 to vendor of machinery will affect the following 
1.Increases on the balance of machinery 
2.Increase in the amount of share capital 
This transaction will neither affect current liabilities nor current assets.Thus ,current ratio will remain unchanged.


The Operating ratio of a company is 60%. State whether Purchase of goods costing Rs. 20,000' will increase, decrease or not change the operating ratio. 

Operating Ratio = Operation Cost/Net Sales * 100

Also, Operating Cost = Cost of Goods Sold + Operating Expenses

Since, cost of goods sold includes purchases as well as closing stock so a purchase of Rs. 20,000 worth of goods will increase the value of both closing stock as well as purchases and hence will lead to change in the value of cost of goods sold. Thus, the operating ratio will remain unchanged.

Calculate current ratio and quick ratio from the following information.
Stock                                Rs.1,00,000
Debtors                            Rs.    80,000 
Bills receivables              Rs.    20,000
Advance Tax                    Rs.      8,000
Cash                                 Rs.    60,000

Bills payable                    Rs.    80,000
Bank overdraft                Rs.      8,000

Current assets = Stock + Debtors +BR + Advance tax + Cash
                          = 100000 + 80000 + 20000 + 8000 + 60000
                          = 268000
Current Liabilities = Creditors + BP + Bank OD 
                               = 120000 + 80000 + 8000
                               = 208000
Quick assets = Current assets - stock
                       = 268000 - 100000
                       = 168000
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities 
                       = 268000/208000 
                       = 1.28
Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current Liabilities
                   = 168000/200000 
                   = 0.84


Calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio and Gross Profits Ratio from the following informations.
Net sales                         Rs. 4,00,000
Gross profits                    Rs. 1,00,000
Opening Inventory          Rs. 60,000
Closing Inventory            Rs. 90,000

A) Inventory ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
cost of goods sold = Net sales - Gross profit
                                 = 400000 - 100000 = 300000
Average inventory = op. inventory + cl. inventory / 2
                                 = 60000 + 90000 = 15000
so, Inventory ratio = 300000/ 15000 = 20 %
 
B) Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / Net sales x 100
                                  = 100000/400000 x 100 =25%


Calculate current ratio and liquid ratio from the following information:

Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities
                      = 80000/50000 = 1.6

Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
                    = 60000/ 50000 = 1.2
  • Current Assets = Trade receivables + Cash in hand + Cash at Bank + Inventories + Advance Tax 
= 30000 + 10000 + 10000 + 20000 + 1000 = 80000
  • Quick Assets = Current Assets - Inventories = 80000-20000 = 60000
  • Current Liabilities = 50000.


What is meant by 'Activity Ratios' ?

Activity ratios are the financial ratios that measure a firm’s ability to convert different accounts within its balance sheet into cash or sales.
Activity ratios measures the relative efficiency of a firm based on its use of its assets, leverages, or other similar balance sheet items and are important in determining whether a company's management is doing a good enough job of generating revenues and cash from its resources.
