SO 3 Explain and apply horizontal analysis.
Horizontal AnalysisHorizontal AnalysisHorizontal AnalysisHorizontal Analysis
Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, is a
technique for evaluating a series of financial
statement data over a period of time.
Its purpose is to determine the increase or decrease
that has taken place.
Horizontal analysis is commonly applied to the balance
sheet, income statement, and statement of retained
earnings.

Illustration 14-5
These changes
suggest that the
company expanded
its asset base
during 2007 and
financed this
expansion primarily
by retaining income
rather than
assuming additional
long-term debt.

Overall, gross
profit and net
income were up
substantially. Gross
profit increased
17.1%, and net
income, 26.5%.
Quality’s profit
trend appears
favorable.

We saw in the horizontal analysis of the balance sheet that ending retained
earnings increased 38.6%. As indicated earlier, the company retained a
significant portion of net income to finance additional plant facilities.

horizontal analysis, assuming 2010 is the base year.

SO 4 Describe and apply vertical analysis.
Vertical AnalysisVertical AnalysisVertical AnalysisVertical Analysis
Vertical analysis, also called common-size analysis, is
a technique that expresses each financial statement
item as a percent of a base amount.
On an income statement, we might say that selling
expenses are 16% of net sales.
Vertical analysis is commonly applied to the balance
sheet and the income statement.

These results
reinforce the
earlier
observations that
Quality is
choosing to
finance its growth
through retention
of earnings rather
than through
issuing additional
debt.

statement comparison
J.C. Penney earned net income more than 4,208 times larger than Quality’s, J.C.
Penney’s net income as a percent of each sales dollar (5.6%) is only 4% of
Quality’s (12.6%).

SO 5 Identify and compute ratios used in analyzing
a firm’s liquidity, profitability, and solvency.
Ratio analysis expresses the relationship among
selected items of financial statement data.
LiquidityLiquidity ProfitabilityProfitability SolvencySolvency
Measures short-
term ability of
the company to
pay its maturing
obligations and to
meet unexpected
needs for cash.
Financial Ratio Classifications
Measures the
income or
operating success
of a company for
a given period of
time.
Measures the
ability of the
company to
survive over a
long period of
time.

14
The discussion of ratios will
include the following types of
comparisons.
A single ratio by itself is not very meaningful.

15
Liquidity RatiosLiquidity Ratios
Measure the short-term ability of the company to pay its
maturing obligations and to meet unexpected needs for
cash.
 Short-term creditors such as bankers and suppliers are
particularly interested in assessing liquidity.
 Ratios include the current ratio, the acid-test ratio,
receivables turnover, and inventory turnover.

16
Compute the Current Ratio for 2007.
The ratio of 2.96:1 means that for every dollar of
current liabilities, Quality has $2.96 of current assets.
Current Assets
Current Liabilities
= Current Ratio
$1,020,000
$344,500
= 2.96 : 1

17
Compute the Acid-Test Ratio for 2007.
Illustration 14-13

18
Compute the Acid-Test Ratio for 2007.
The acid-test ratio measures immediate liquidity.
Cash + Short-Term Investments + Receivables (Net)
Current Liabilities

$100,000 + $20,000 + $230,000

19
Compute the Receivables Turnover ratio for 2007.
It measures the number of times, on average, the
company collects receivables during the period.
$2,097,000
($180,000 + $230,000) / 2
= 10.2 times

20
A variant of the receivables turnover ratio is to convert
it to an average collection period in terms of days.
This means that receivables are collected on average
every 36 days.
$2,097,000
($180,000 + $230,000) / 2
= 10.2 times
365 days / 10.2 times = every 35.78 days
Receivables Turnover

21
Compute the Inventory Turnover ratio for 2007.
Inventory turnover measures the number of times, on
average, the inventory is sold during the period.
$1,281,000
($500,000 + $620,000) / 2
= 2.31 times

22
A variant of inventory turnover is the days in inventory.
Inventory turnover ratios vary considerably among
industries.
365 days / 2.3 times = every 159 days
$1,281,000
($500,000 + $620,000) / 2
= 2.3 times
Inventory Turnover

23
Profitability RatiosProfitability Ratios
Measure the income or operating success of a company for
a given period of time.
 Income, or the lack of it, affects the company’s ability to
obtain debt and equity financing, liquidity position, and the
ability to grow.
 Ratios include the profit margin, asset turnover, return
on assets, return on common stockholders’ equity,
earnings per share, price-earnings, and payout ratio.
