Q12) How does ratio analysis become less effective due to price level changes? (Marks 4)
Ans12) Financial analysis for various years cannot be compared as the price level changes will make the comparison misleading.
For example the comparing the ratio of sales to fixed assets of a current year will be much higher as compared to that of a previous year. This is because the sales are recorded at the current year's price but fixed assets will be expressed in terms of cost incurred in the past. Thus, the previous years figures must be adjusted in the light of price level changes before comparing the ratios of these years.

Q13) A company has a loan of Rs. 20,00,000 as part of its Capital employed. The interest payable on the loan is 15% and the ROI of the company is 25%. The rate of income tax is 40%. What is the gain to the share-holder due to loan raised by the company? (Marks 5)
Ans13) Return on Investment = Profit before Interest, tax   x 100
                                                  Capital employed
Capital employed = 20,00000
 25 = Profit before Interest and Tax
100                  2000000
Thus Profit before Interest and Tax = 500000
Less: Interest on loan
                ( 15  x 2000000)           300000
                 100
Pft after Interest and before Tax        200000
Less: tax (200000 x 40)                  80000
                            100                            
Net Profit after tax                        120000
Thus, gain to the shareholder due to the loan = 120000.

Q15) "Analysis of Financial Statement is affected by window dressing and the personal ability of the analyst." Comment. (Marks 6)
Ans15) i) Analysis of financial statements is affected by window dressing :
The term window dressing means manipulation of accounts to conceal vital facts and present the financial statements in such a way to show a better position than what its actually is. Thus, analysis of financial statement may not be a definite indicator of the quality of management.
ii) Personal ability and bias of the analyst :
The figures in the financial statement are to be analysed by human ability. Thus, the users generally have divergent opinion and meaning for the accounting figures. For example, for calculating return on capital, some may consider profit after tax while others may consider profit before tax. 
Thus, the analysis of financial statements is based on the personal ability of user and thus cannot be free from bias.
