उत्तर
(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 = `3000000/2400000 = 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 Ratio" = "Current Assets"/ "Current liability"`
Current Assets = 12,00,000
Current Liabilities = 8,00,000
Current Ratio = `1200000/800000 = 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.
