FINANCIAL RATIOS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIAN INDUSTRIES
ABSTRACT:
In many parts of the world, especially in the most developed economies
of the world, there are various ways and means of making comparative
analysis to determine the level of the development of a particular
economy, and other aspects of business and industries. The most
important way or means is the use of financial ratios. This though
important is not found available in Nigeria we rely mostly on foreign ratios.
It is against this background that the thesis attempts to embark on
intensive study of financial organisations for the development of truly
Nigerian ratios. The thesis explored whether it is possible to develop such
ratios in the country and whether there is the need for developing
indigenous ratios. It also tries to answer whether the ratios developed will
differ from foreign ones and why they differ and if they tally, why.
To achieve the aim of this thesis the financial statement of 10 companies
across 5 industrial groupings of the Nigeria Stock Exchange were used to
compute 12 types of ratios. The industries selected are Automobile &
Tyre, Breweries, Construction, Chemical & Paints and Household &
Industrial Products industries. The ratios computed are then compared
with the Dun & Bradstreet ratios and the results analysed. In the light of
that, the thesis is of the view that there is the need to develop Nigerian
ratios and that internal factors can make ratios differ.
