The current ratio of Anandam Manufacturing Company shows a decreasing trend. In the year 2012-2013, the liquidity of the company is at 2.54%, a little bit higher compared to the average ratio of the over-all industry. However, in the succeeding years, it drop to 1.79 (2013-2014) and eventually at 1.6% in the year 2014-2015.

However, in the next succeeding years, the ratio dropped by 38% (2013-2014) which resulted to 0.98 and eventually 0.79 in the year 2014-2015.

This also implies that Anandam company cannot immediately convert its current liabilities to finance short term debts.

1. Efficiency

1. The Accounts Receivable Turnover ratio for Anandam Corporation is used to quantify the company’s effectiveness in extending credit and in collecting debts on that credit.  The company’s ratio compared to the industry is lower. In 2012-2013, it shows that the company can still manage to collect its receivables for 6 times, however, this number gets lower and lower as years pass. In 2013, the ratio drop to 2.88 times and increases at 3.42 times in the year 2014-2015.  In the first years of operations, the company still needs to improve its policy on the collection of receivables. Unfortunately, in the year 2013, there was a huge drop which may be due to the company’s inefficiency in collecting and extending credits to the customer. Over all, the ratio reported is not a good sign for the company. Their performance in terms of extending credit is not good and should be improved.
2. The Days Sales Outstanding for the receivables of Anandam Corporation shows a large difference compared to the industry. This is unfavorable for the company because it takes so long for them to collect the receivables. In the next two years, the gap is even getting larger.

The ratios for the company’s two-year operating period show a really large difference between the average ratio of the industry.  From 116 days in year 2 up to 141 days in year 3. The number of days for the company to sold the inventories is much more higher compare to the 75 days in the industry. This result is not favorable to the company’s operation.

From 1.05 in 2012, 1.92 in 2013 and 1.7 in 2014, although the increase-decrease trend is manisfested this may still be considerable because the operation of the firm may differ from one period to another,still low ratio means inefficient or under-utilization of fixed assets.Thus, this is an unfavorable implication for the company.
