REMINDER: For balance sheet references that require an “average” level, use the prior & current year’s balance. For Year 2 data – use the average between Years One and Two: [(YEAR 1 + YEAR 2) ÷ 2] For Year 3 data - use the average between Years Two and Three: [(YEAR 2 + YEAR 3) ÷ 2] NOTE: Use Year Two as a “Base” Year. When making your comments, please address the PERCENTAGE CHANGE in the RATIO between years Two and Three. For example: YEAR 2 YEAR 3 Change (YEAR 3 – YEAR 2) % Change (Change ÷YEAR 2) Comment 2.0 2.4 0.4 20% This small change of 0.4 is actually a 20% increase over the YEAR 2 level! Be sure to recognize the magnitude of changes on a percentage basis. In this example, the CHANGE FROM YEAR 2 TO YEAR 3 OF 0.4 IS ACTUALLY A LARGE 20% CHANGE FROM THE BASE YEAR! It’s a 20% change from 2.0 (0.4÷2.0 = 20%) – not a just a change of a meager four-tenths.
