Public Corporations of Nepal (A Study of Financial Ratios by Dr. Radhe S. Pradhan attempts to examine the behaviour of financial ratios in selected public corporations of Nepal. It is based on a study of ten corporations in the manufacturing sector and ten in the non-manufacturing sector over a period of 12 years. The major questions answered by this study are: (a) Is there any difference in the behaviour of financial ratios of manufacturing and non-manufacturing groups of corporations and also between sick and non-sick corporations? (b) What are the ratios which behave differently and which do not behave differently in these groups of corporations? (c) Is there any change taking place in the financial ratios of these different groups of corporations over a period of time? (d) Do the financial ratios vary widely from one corporation to another and from one year to another with the same corporation? The study of financial ratios is widespread. Financial ratio analysis is studied as a compulsory topic by all graduate and post-graduate students of business management at University, and also by the students of professional institutions like the Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants. The study of financial ratios is important because it indicates the financial and operating problems of corporations. This book is therefore expected to be useful to all those students, teachers, researchers and executives who are interested in the study of financial management problems in corporations.
