| Particulars | Amount (Rs.) | Particulars | Amount (Rs.) |
| 10% Preference Share Capital | 5,00,000 | Current Assets | 12,00,000 |
| Equity Share Capital | 15,00,000 | Current Liabilities | 8,00,000 |
| Securities Premium Reserve | 1,00,000 | Investments (in other companies) | 2,00,000 |
| Reserves and Surplus | 4,00,000 | Fixed Assets-Cost | 60,00,000 |
| Long-term Loan from IDBI @ 9% | 30,00,000 | Depreciation Written off | 14,00,000 |
Calculate ratios indicating the Long-term and the Short-term financial position of the company.
SOLUTION
(i) Debt-Equity Ratio is an indicator of Long-term financial health. It shows the proportion of Long-term loan in comparison of shareholders’ Funds.
Debt-Equity Ratio = Long Term Debts / Equity
Debt = Loan from IDBI @ 9% = 30,00,000
Equity = 10% Preference Share Capital + Equity Share Capital +
= Reserves & Surplus
= 5,00,000 + 15,00,000 + 4,00,000
= 24,00,000
Debt-Equity Ratio = 30,00,000 / 24,00,000
= 1.25: 1
(ii) Current Ratio is an indicator of short-term financial portion. It shows the proportion of Current Assets in comparison of Current Liabilities.
Current Assets = 12,00,000
Current Liabilities = 8,00,000
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = 12,00,000 / 8,00,000
= 1.5: 1
Note: In the above question, Securities Premium Reserve is not considered while computing Equity because it is already included in the amount of Reserves and Surplus.
