4. Basic Analytical Methods o Users analyze a company’s financial statements using a variety of analytical methods. Three such methods are as follows:  Horizontal analysis  Vertical analysis  Common-sized statements

5. Horizontal Analysis o The percentage analysis of increases and decreases in related items in comparative financial statements is called horizontal analysis.

6. H ORIZONTAL A NALYSIS

7. Horizontal Analysis: Difference $17,000 Base year (2013) $533,000 = 3.2% H ORIZONTAL A NALYSIS

9. Horizontal Analysis: Difference $25,800 Base year (2013) $64,700 = 39.9%

10. H ORIZONTAL A NALYSIS

11. Horizontal Analysis: Difference $296,500 Base year (2013) $1,234,000 = 24.0%

12. H ORIZONTAL A NALYSIS

13. Horizontal Analysis: Difference $37,500 Base year (2013) $ 100,000 = 37.5% H ORIZONTAL A NALYSIS

14. Vertical Analysis o A percentage analysis used to show the relationship of each component to the total within a single financial statement is called vertical analysis.

15. Vertical Analysis o In a vertical analysis of the balance sheet, each asset item is stated as a percent of the total assets. o Each liability and stockholders’ equity item is stated as a percent of the total liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

16. V ERTICAL A NALYSIS

17. Vertical Analysis: Current Assets $550,000 Total Assets $ 1,139,500 = 48.3%

18. Vertical Analysis o In a vertical analysis of the income statement, each item is stated as a percent of net sales.

19. V ERTICAL A NALYSIS

20. Vertical Analysis: Selling expenses $191,000 Net sales $1,498,000 = 12.8%

21. Common-Sized Statements o In a common-sized statement, all items are expressed as percentages with no dollar amounts shown. o Common-sized statements are useful for comparing the current period with prior periods, individual businesses with one another, or one business with industry averages.

24. Solvency Analysis o All users of financial statements are interested in the ability of a company to do the following:  Meet its financial obligations (debts), called solvency.  Earn income, called profitability.

25. Solvency Analysis o Solvency analysis focuses on the ability of a business to pay its current and noncurrent liabilities. o Solvency and profitability are interrelated. A company that cannot pay its debts will have difficulty obtaining credit, which can decrease its profitability.

26. Current Position Analysis o A company’s ability to pay its current liabilities is called current position analysis. It is of special interest to short-term creditors.

27. Working Capital o The excess of current assets over current liabilities is called working capital. Working capital is often used to evaluate a company’s ability to pay current liabilities. o Working capital is computed as follows: Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
