The main aim of this research paper is to examine the trade-off between liquidity and profitability of Indian firms. The target population of the study is manufacturing firms. The study used convenience sampling for collecting the data. The study is based on secondary data for the period from 2008 to 2017 and 20 Indian manufacturing firms are selected for this purpose. Analysis of the data has been undertaken using SPSS software. Findings revealed that current liabilities ratio have a positive and significant impact on earnings per share and profit after tax. On the contrary, the current ratio and quick ratio have an insignificant impact on earnings per share, return on capital employed, return on assets and profit after tax. This study suggests that managers should incorporate liquidity into their evaluation decisions in order to boost the financial return of their businesses. The current study offers valuable insights into the success of Indian listed companies for administrators, analysts, regulators, investors, and other interested parties. There is insufficient research that has been conducted to examine the trade-off between liquidity and profitability. Furthermore, findings from this literature cannot be relied upon as they are outdated. Therefore, this study is going to provide updated evidence on the trade-off between liquidity and profitability of Indian manufacturing firms, an area that has largely remained unexplored.

(ROA) This research uses secondary data taken based on time series. The analysis technique in this study uses multiple linear regression using SPSS software version 20 and Microsoft Office Excel 2010. The results of this study indicate that partially the CAR and KAP partially do not have a significant effect on Return On. Assets, while Operational Expenses to BOPO and FDR partially have a significant effect on Return on Assets. Simultaneously, these four variables have a significant effect on Return on Assets at PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia. Based on the results of the Determination Coefficient test, the value of Adjusted R Square (R2) is 99.00%, this means that the amount of Return on Assets can be influenced and explained by the variables CAR, KAP, BOPO, and FDR, while the remaining 1% is explained by variables not examined in this study.

This study assessed working capital management and performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria 20 firms were sampled, over 10 years. The study employed static data analyses and panel Granger causality test. Result showed that average collection period exerts insignificant negative effect on return on capital employed of the sampled firms, while average collection period also exerts insignificant negative effect on earnings per share of the sampled firms. The result further showed that, average payment period exerts insignificant positive effect on return on capital employed of the sampled firms, but average payment period exerts insignificant negative effect on earnings per share of the sampled firms. The study concluded that, average collection period and average payment exert insignificant effect on return on capital employed of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria, also; average collection period and average payment period exert insignificant effect on earnings per share of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Hence manufacturing firms in Nigeria should objectively manage average collection period and also maintain a consistent improvement in return on capital employed and earnings per share of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria.

This study examined the effect of assets utilization on performance of selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Secondary data were collected from the annual report and accounts of the ten selected quoted firms for a period of five years spanning from 2012 to 2016. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses. The empirical results revealed that asset turnover(ATR) has positive and significant effect on return on assets (ROA) of the selected manufacturing firms as confirmed by the coefficient and probability value of 0.235999(p=0.0000). Current assets ratio also has positive and significant effect on return on assets with the coefficient of 0.109040 (p=0.0035) while debt assets ratio has negative but insignificant effect on return on assets. The overall coefficient of determination (R2)of 0.84951showed that about 85 % of the total variation in the ROA is explained by asset turnover (ATR), current ratio (CUR) and debt-assets ratio (DAR). The study concluded that assets utilization has positive and significant effect on the performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria and therefore recommended that attention should be purposely paid to optimum asset utilization in the manufacturing firms in Nigeria.
