7 68 QUANTATIVE VARIABLES AND PROFITABILITY OF THE VISVESYARYA UCB I the preset study, a attempt has bee made to aalyze the extet of ifluece of the various ecoomic variables o the profitability of visvesyarya UCB by usig the techique of Co-efficiet of correlatio Table13 Shows that all the the variables ad profits were i a icreasig tred durig the study period except profit for the year Table13 QUANTATIVE VARIABLES AND PROFITABILITY OF THE VISVESYARYA UCB Iterest Eared Iterest Paid Operatig Other Expeses Net Profit Expeses CORRELATION Correlatio is the relatioship betwee the two variables. The ecoomic quatitave Variables preseted ad are compared to the profitability of the visvesyarya UCB over the years uderstudy. The formula for the techique of correlatio Co-efficiet is dxdy ( dx) ( dy) r =. dx 2 ( dx)2 dy 2 ( dy)2 Correlatio Techique is used by the researcher i this study to ascertai the Iterest eared ad Profitability. Iterest Eared ad Profitability The term iterest eared meas the icome derived by advacig the sources of fuds prudetly. Iterest earig is the mai source of icome as for as the visevaraya UCB is cocered. Table 14 shows the Correlatio betwee iterest eared ad Profit of Visevaraya UCB Table 14 Correlatio betwee Iterest Eared ad Profit Iterest Profits Dx Dx 2 dy Dy 2 dxdy Eared ± dx= = dx = = dy r = dxdy ( dx) ( dy) dx 2 ( dx )2 dy 2 ( dy )2 r = It could be see from the above calculatio that there is a egative Correlatio betwee iterest eared ad profitability.

8 69 FINDINGS OF THE STUDY 1. The share capital ad reserve fud has made positive growth 2. The owed ad the workig capital held by the bak have made steady progress. 3. The advaces made by the bak has made positive tred ad it will pave way 4. The amout earmarked by the bak i stregtheig the fixed assets ad other assets are showig positive growth. 5. The CD ratio i the iitial period is less ad it has made pheomeal growth i the subsequet years. 6. The bak maitai adequate amout SLR ivestmets ad the o the other had the ivestmet i No SLR is slightly more. 7. The result shows that except durig the year remaiig four years positive et profit growth could be observed. Amog the five year period highest per cet could observed durig the year i.e., per cet. 8. The total assets of Visvesvarya Urba Cooperative Bak are broadly categorized ito fiacial assets comprisig of cash ad bak balace, debtors ad other curret assets ad the fixed assets cosistig of premises, furiture ad so o. 9. There is a egative Correlatio betwee iterest eared ad profitability. SUGGESTIONS 1. Steps may be take to improve share capital positio. 2. The bak should take ecessary iitiative to reduce the term deposits ad icrease low cost deposit like savigs bak deposit ad curret deposits. 3. As a part of fiacial iclusio steps may be take by the bak to ope No Frills Accout. 4. I order to do CASA deposit steps may be take to attract more istitutioal deposits. 5.
