Segment wise Revenue, Result & Capital Employed
Analysis
We can see that the Tata Chemical Ltd. receive
maximum revenue & results from the InorganicChemicals
segment. But the company also has the highest capital
employed in the Inorganic Chemicals segment. The
company would have been considered more efficient if for
a lower capital employed in the segment; higher results&
revenues are received. In the fertilizers segment the
capital employed & revenue is sufficient but results is not
yielding profit as desired. In other agree input segment
though the result & capital employed are not much but
this sector is still yielding considerable revenue. The
company can allocate resources from otheragri input to
fertilizers for better growth in this sector. In other
segment result is not holding profit as desired even
though the revenue & capital employed are sufficient.

Analysis & Interpretation
Liquidity Ratios
The Current Ratio of the company analyzed is 3.65 to 3.59
from 31st March 16 to 31st March 17 and the Quick Ratio of the
company is 2.31 to 2.44 from 31st March 16 to 31st March 17.
Both the ratios are more than ideal. Therefore, the company is
in the position to meet its short term liabilities in time.
Solvency Ratios
Proprietary Ratio of the company is also low, is 0.83: 1 to
0.83:1from 31st March 16 to 31st March 17. This ratio indicates
that the firm is depending more on shareholder’s funds than
externalequities. It indicates the lower or inadequate safety to
creditors.
Profitability Ratios
The Gross Profit Ratio is 43.78% to 45.81% from 31st March
16 to 31st March 17 & Net Profit Ratio is 17.96% to 18.40% from
31st March 16 to 31st March 17. As the gross profit ratio is
higher shows the low cost of goods sold. Gross profit ratio is
adequate enough to cover the operating expense and provided
for depreciation, interest on loans, dividends and creation of
reserves. As increase in the Net Profit ratio over the previous
period shows improvement in the operational efficiency and
decline means otherwise.
Activity Ratios
The Inventory Turnover Ratio is 3.56 to 3.67 from 31st March
16 to 31st March 17 & the Working Capital Turnover Ratio is
3.08 to 3.13 from 31st March 16 to 31st March 17.
The ratio is higher therefore the company is in a better position;
it indicates that inventory is selling quickly. Higher inventory
turnover ratio shows that goods can be sold at a low margin of
profit and even then the profitability may be quite high. The
company also has a high working capital turnover ratio which
shows efficient use of working capital and quick turnover of
current assets like inventory and trade receivables.
