Cash generated also saw a decline which had an impact since the Company finances its capital expenditures and research and development investments through cash generated from operation, cash, and cash equivalents, debt and equity funding. However, the Company’s cash and bank balances on a consolidated basis were higher than last year’s which enable the Company to cater to business needs in the event of changes in market conditions. The Company uses this generated cash operation to fund its short-term working capital requirements, short and medium-term borrowings from lending institutions. However, there is a fear that its sufficient available liquidity could be materially and adversely affected by an economic slowdown. However, on a standalone basis, the Company fared better. This is evident in the increase in income from operations but its cash and cash equivalents were lower than previous year due to reduction in balances and deposits with banks.
Revenues for Jaguar Land Rover for Fiscal 2017 increased by 9.2% compared to previous year primarily due to more favorable foreign exchange environment with the weaker pound following Brexit. Tata Motors Finance Ltd, however, saw a decline of 15.7% while Tata Daewoo Commercial and Tata Technologies saw an increase of 17.3% and 4.4%

    2. The trend I noticed was that all three ratios: profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity had a good increase from 2001 to 2002. However, between 2002 and 2003 all three ratios take an even bigger down turn. This suggests to me that the common factor of these ratios, net income, has taken a sudden impact. Meanwhile, the one ratio that has held steady and even grew in 2003 was total asset turnover.…

    This shows us, ‘The Warehouse Group’ has successfully managed their cash well as the overall cash has increased by $5.5m within the year. The Warehouse Group also has a big increase of $5.3 m of interest, this has a negative impact on the company as the interest goes up, the more they will need to pay, but this is not big enough to make a difference within the overall amount of the company. The increase of $5.5m within the overall cash could be because of the borrowings from financing activities, as shown in the notes to and forming part of the financial statements, page 81, it states there is a roughly $48m difference between 2014 and 2015 for the borrowings are paid back between 0-6 months, rather than longer amounts of time, this is an advantage for The Warehouse Group as they aren’t waiting for the payments and have their cash. Loans repaid by finance business customers has increased from $36.4 in 2014, to $88.3m in 2015, this might be due to being interest free if paid within 60 days, so this promotes them to pay back when its needed, so this benefits the company as they are not waiting and less chance of write off/ bad debts, short term borrowing is $0.35 for every $1. For every $1 of current assets, The Warehouse Group has $0.6 for current liabilities, therefore they can ‘easily’ pay back their day-to-day expenses/debts, and then $0.4 for working capital.…

    After a fall in 2010, Morrison has maintained a consistent sales revenue to capital employed level up until 2012. In comparison with Tesco, Morrison has a higher value; which suggests that the firm is using their assets more productively than Tesco to generate sales revenue. This is also reflected in Morrison’s lower trade payables rate and inventory turnover period. Morrison’s value is not too high to suggest overtrading on their assets (Atrill and McLaney, 2011). This ratio helps ordinary shareholders and banks monitor the efficiency in the use of their funds.…
