Methods of Financial Statement Analysis

    

17-7

Horizontal Analysis Vertical Analysis Common-Size Statements Trend Percentages Ratio Analysis

17-8

Horizontal Analysis
Using comparative financial statements to calculate dollar or percentage changes in a financial statement item from one period to the next

17-9

Vertical Analysis
For a single financial statement, each item is expressed as a percentage of a significant total, e.g., all income statement items are expressed as a percentage of sales

17-10

CommonCommon-Size Statements
Financial statements that show only percentages and no absolute dollar amounts

17-11

Trend Percentages
Show changes over time in given financial statement items (can help evaluate financial information of several years)

17-12

Ratio Analysis
Expression of logical relationships between items in a financial statement of a single period (e.g., percentage relationship between revenue and net income)

17-13

Horizontal Analysis Example

The management of Clover Company provides you with comparative balance sheets of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Management asks you to prepare a horizontal analysis on the information.

17-16

Horizontal Analysis Example

Calculating Change in Dollar Amounts
Dollar Change = Current Year Figure Base Year Figure

Since we are measuring the amount of the change between 1998 and 1999, the dollar amounts for 1998 become the base year figures.
