Importance of women entrepreneurship
This development has become a subject of great concern and serious discussion in
recent times. Women in the present day have been recognized as an indivisible
part of the global struggle for a stable economy. Same is the case in India where
women have recently become the symbol of changes.
Reasons that motivate women’s entry in commerce vary but despite all of their
variations in socioeconomic backgrounds, they have proved their worth time and
again. They have taken risks in businesses and managed to make them pay off.
Over and over, Indian women have competed with men and proven to be equal in
every race, including entrepreneurship.
In the closing years of the 21st century, multi- skilled, productive and innovative
women entrepreneurs are inextricable for achieving sustained economic growth.
Globalisation of industrial production and economic interdependence have
become the torch-bearers for all international cooperations. In the dynamic world
which is experiencing the effects of globalisation, privatisation and liberalisation,
women entrepreneurs are likely to become an even more important part of the
global quest for sustained economic growth and social development.

"As I thought about strong women of history, I realized that they stepped out in
some way". This has helped her work become recognized, while shaping and
delivering goals of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As of 2014, Bill and
Melinda have donated US$28 billion to the Foundation.

2.3 Problem Faced By Women Entrepreneur
Some of the challenges and problems faced by women entrepreneurs are discussed
below.
1. Family restriction: Women are expected to spend more time with their family
members. They do not encourage women to travel extensively for exploiting
business opportunities.
4. Role Conflict: Marriage and family life are given more importance than career
and social life in Indian society.
18
8. Lack of Information: Women entrepreneurs are not generally aware of the
subsidies and incentives available for them. Lack of knowledge may prevent them
from availing the special schemes.
9. Stiff Competition: Women face lot of competition from men. Due to limited
mobility they find difficult to compete with men.
10. Mobility: Moving in and around the market, is again a tough job for Middle
Class Women Entrepreneurs in Indian Social system.
11. Male-Dominated Society: Male chauvinism is still the order of the day in
India. The Constitution of India speaks of equality between sexes.
The problems women face pose a challenge for government and the authorities to
tackle, but with the right approach and some time, they can be solved. Everyone
must understand the importance of women entrepreneurship. On top of all, women
need motivation and any discouragement must be dealt with.
Following are some measures that can be taken to make women empowered
so that they can continue their business activities as confidently as Indian men.
19
• Institutions where women can learn entrepreneurial skills and risk taking
abilities.
• Measures to change the attitude of society concerning women and women
entrepreneurs in India.

Gross profit is the revenue left over after you deduct the costs of making a
product or providing a service. You can find the gross profit by subtracting
the cost of goods sold.
Formula:

Net profit ratio expresses the relationship between net profit after taxes and
scales. This ratio is measures of the overall profitability net profit is arrived at
after taking into account both the operating and non operating items of incomes
and expenses. The ratio includes what portion of the net sales is left for the
owner after all expenses have been met.
Formula:
Net profit
Net profit ratio = ────────── X 100
Sales
36,550
Net profit = ──────────X 100

Reference:
The net profit ratio of the company is very low. The sale has to be increased
and a new strategy can be followed to increase its profit.

4.4.3 Return on investment:
Return on investment is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency
of an investment or compare the efficiency of a number of different investments.
ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment,
relative to the investment cost.

4.4.4Current ratio:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay
short-term obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and
analysts how a company can maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to
satisfy its current debt and other payables.
Formula:
Current assets
Current ratio = ─────────────
Current liabilities
2,15,800

Reference:
The current ratio in the company is low it indicates its financial help of
company. It minimizes the liquidity of the current asset to settle debt and
payables.
41
4.4.5 Working capital turnover ratio:
Working capital turnover is a ratio that measures how efficiently a company is
using its working capital to support a given level of sales. Also referred to as net
sales to working capital, work capital turnover shows the relationship between
the funds used to finance a company's operations and the revenues a company
generates as a result.
Formula:
Sales
Working capital turnover ratio = ──────────────
Net working capital
1,85,800
Working capital turnover ratio = ─────────
1,29,800
= 1.4times
Reference:
This ratio is purely based on cost of sales. if we increase the cost of sales in
every year then the working capital ratio will increase. However from the above
interpretation the company has shown decreases in the working capital ratio. The
company has to take necessary measure to increase it.
42
4.4.6 Fixed assets turnover ratio:
The fixed asset turnover ratio (FAT) is, in general, used by analysts to measure
operating performance. This efficiency ratio compares net sales (income
statement) to fixed assets (balance sheet) and measures a company's ability to
generate net sales from its fixed-asset investments, namely property, plant, and
equipment.
Formula:

Inventory turnover is a ratio showing how many times a company has sold and
replaced inventory during a given period. A company can then divide the days in
the period by the inventory turnover formula to calculate the days it takes to sell
the inventory on hand. Calculating inventory turnover can help businesses make
better decisions on pricing, manufacturing, marketing and purchasing new
inventory.
Formula:
Cost of sales
Inventory turnover ratio = ───────────────
Average inventory
50,700
Inventory turnover ratio = ────────
21,200

As the inventory turnover ratio high, its shows the higher utilization of inventory

quantify a company's effectiveness in collecting its receivables or money owed
by clients. The ratio shows how well a company uses and manages the credit it

The receivables turnover ratio is also called the accounts receivable turnover
ratio.
Formula:
40,000
Debtors turnover ratio = ────────────
40,000

The debtors to whom the credit sales have made have not paid the balance. If
they pay the balance the ratio will decrease and how it is equal to 1 as the
balance is not received.
45

The accounts payable turnover ratio, also known as the payables turnover or the
creditor’s turnover ratio, is a liquidity ratio that measures how many times a
company pays its creditors over an accounting period. The accounts payable
turnover ratio is a measure of short-term liquidity, with a higher payable
turnover ratio being more favorable.
Formula:
30,000
Creditors turnover ratio = ─────────
30,000
= 1 times
Reference:
There are no other liabilities is the company other than credit purchases of stock
to be sold the creditors balance is yet to be paid and that is why the ratio is equal
to 1. The creditors have to be settled soon.
46

Return on assets (ROA) is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative
to its total assets. ROA gives a manager, investor, or analyst an idea as to how
efficient a company's management is at using its assets to generate earnings.
Return on assets is displayed as a percentage.
Formula:
Net profit
Return on assets = ───────────── X 100
Total assets
36,550
Return on assets = ─────── X 100
3,87,550
= 9.4%
Reference:
The return on asset is low. The company must take effective measure to prevent
loss and increase its return on assets.
47
CHAPTER-5
FINDINGS:
• The capital that is being invested in the firm is quite low, therefore it
lead to restrictions in taking risk that many lead to effective outcomes.

expenses which affects the firm to earn the handsome profit. The project

non- operating expenses for better maintenance of the firm.
