A common size financial statement is a document that is used in doing comparison of financial information. The values of the common size income statement are normally converted as a percentage of the returns. From the common size income statement it is clear that the cost of sales increases over the years. The cost of sales in 2015 was 65.21 and in 2018 the cost of sales was 65.89. However, the gross margin is decreasing over the years. A gross margin is the amount that is the revenue that is collected in each commodity that is sold. The decrease in the gross margin is an indicator that the company is not performing well financially. Companies should have a high gross margin so that they can be able to meet other financial obligations.
Moreover, from the common size financial statement of analysis, it can be seen that the pretax earnings decreased slightly in 2015 and 2016 and then remained stable for the next two years[footnoteRef:1]. In addition, the interest net, interest income and the amortization are a clear indication that the company is carrying out proper investments using the shareholders property and wealth. The extra investments will enable the company to have a high debt to equity ratio and eventually the return on equity will increase greatly. Firms that have a high return on equity also have a greater ability to meet the day to day expenses. Therefore, firms are.

The investment and efficiency in both Next PLC and H&M looked at to bring out the strengths and weaknesses of each company in the process of data interpretation. To finish the paper by analysis and review of the limitations to conclude the financial records of the companies presented.
Company Background
Next PLC
Next plc is a company that specializes in clothes and shoe fashion mostly — the company founded in 1864 in Leeds, England. The company has a financial target that aims at generating profits and achieving sustainability in the industry. It has over seven hundred stores, with 500 of them located in the United Kingdom and 200 distributed among European countries, the Middle East, and the continent of Asia. By 2018 statistics the company had about 43, 970 employees with a revenue of $4,055 million (Sabanoglu 2019).

Financial Analysis of PepsiCo’s Financial Statements
PepsiCo is one of the publicly traded companies that operate in the beverage and food industry. Based on the financial statements in the appendix section of this paper, there is much that can be said on the company’s financial position and performance for the last three years ranging from 2011 to 2013. The income statement of the company indicates that the revenue levels remain flat despite the growth in net income from $ 6.2 billion to $ 6.7 billion. There was a reduction in the level of sales which was mainly attributed to the decline in the cost of goods sold. Based on the balance sheet, it is evident that operating profits can sufficiently service the company’s debt despite the reduction in the value of the current liquid assets (Businessweek, 2014).
At the end of 2013, the value of the company’s total assets was $ 77, 478, 000 million. This represented an increase in the value of the total assets in the last two years (Businessweek, 2014). An increase in value of total assets indicates that the company is effectively managing its expenditure and can sufficiently fund its operations. The figure also shows that the company’s book value has increased.
The total assets at the end of the previous reporting period were $ 74, 638,000. The value was lower than the one recorded in 2013. Nonetheless, the organization had recorded lower values in the other previous years. For instance, in 2010 the value of the total assets was $ 68, 153,000, while that of 2011 was $ 72, 882, 000. These trends indicate possible expansion, effective control of expenditure, and increased capital base.
At the end of most recent trading period, which was 2013, the value of cash and cash equivalents was $ 22, 203, 000 million (PepsiCo, 2013). This included elements such as accounts receivable, inventory, deferred taxes, and other current assets. The components constitute the list of items that can be easily converted into cash to meet the urgent financial needs of the business.
The amount of accounts receivable at the end of 2013 was $ 4, 874,000 million. This value was relatively higher than those of the previous years (Businessweek, 2014). While an increase in the level of accounts payable is mainly associated with increasing debt, it is a good indicator of the increasing level of operations. Nonetheless, the company should take into account effective cost management strategies to counter the increasing debt.
The amount of the accounts payable at the end of 2012 was $ 4, 451,000 million. This value was relatively lower compared to that of 2013. It implies that in 2013 the company had less debt, but the volume of operations was low. It is also indi.

Competition Bikes, Inc.A1.a. Competition Bikes Horizontal Analysis: Results
The present period of the company has been experiencing a notable decrease in the Net Sales as opposed to our earlier fiscal years. Financial Years 6 and 7 were markedly better than our current 7 and 8. A quick deduction and study has determined the reason for this economic downturn to be the present economy. Competition Bikes, Inc. does however, expect an increase in Unit Sales over the course of the next three years, but will also be projected to remain below our High Unit sales of Year 7.
Considering that our sales have decreased, it is positive to note that the percentage-to-Net Sales of the Cost of Goods Sold remained around 73% through years 6 – 8 in our Vertical Analysis. What this depicts is that the price of our raw materials has remained rather stagnant, as has the costs of labor. We have also reduced our Advertising Costs by approximately 16.3%, whereas it had been up by 37.5% percent from Year 6 to 7. This is due to two consecutive years of reduced sales of our product. As for Marketing, it is normal procedure to reduce its budgets when the economy enters a bear market. However, this is not always the wisest course of action due to the fact that companies must fight within an ever-constricting marketplace for potential sales that still remain.
Pertaining to our overall General and Administrative Expenses our company has remained in a relatively flat status with reviewed over the past several years to the present. There is a notable increase in our overall Utilities expenses, ranging around 11.1%, which is probably because of increased power costs passed on from electrical companies. That is up, and impressively so from our Year 6 to 7 which Utilities were only hovering in the 3.8% range. There is, however, a particular section that is worthy of a more detailed examination. The Other General and Admin Expenses are up. Way up, in fact. Estimates are a very noticeable 7.6% ($12,000.00) from last year. That’s a marked improvement from Year 6 to 7 where we were reporting 31.1% (37,500.00)! All the while our expected sales have decreased by 15% in the same timeframe. Even more concerning is our Operations. The Operating Income has dropped by a staggering -69.1%! This is a considerable difference from our Year 6 – 7 Operating Income, which was reported at $191,820.00 or 154.6%!
It should go without saying that our Operating Income, that is, things like the Utilities and Salaries, are always paid regardless of whether or not there is profitable sales; and this in turn is severely shrinking our corporate earnings cash considerably more than just a reduction in our sales percentages. One of the quick solutions to overcome this issue would be to reduce the number of hours that our Workforce in Production utilizes. This would allow for the Operating Income figure to reduce along with the reduced am ...

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

2. ELB FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 2
ELB Financial Analysis
Introduction
In most occasion, analysis of a firm's financial statement is performance top assess the
changes that contribute to improvement in business performance. When performing such reviews,
various factors are considered. Some of the statements considered are like the balance sheet, the
income statement, and financial ratios. Information obtained from these statements can be used to
prepare a report for strategic decision making. Similarly, this report will critically analyze the
financial statement to discuss the financial performance of ELB Company over the two years of
income.
Income Statement
The financial performance of ELB Company slightly improved in 2018 compared to its
value in 2017. The company reported a significant change in some critical particulars in the income
statement between 2017 and 2018 fiscal year. First, ELB reported an annual fall of the net profit
in 2018 from the preceding year of income. The fall in net profit was accredited to the general rise
in the cost of sales in 2018. Even though the net profit of the company fall in 2018, the value of its
total revenues grew by $ 5.3 million from $ 28.9 in 2017 (Fridson & Alvarez, 2016). The rise in
the revenue was attributed to an increase in net sales in 2018 compared to that of the previous year.
The rise in the revenues translated to 18.3 % growth in 2018 from the total revenue in 2017. The
increase in revenues in 2018 is a sign of the excellent performance of the company.
On the other hand, ELB Company reported a rise in the cost of sales in 2018 by $ 3.75
from the previous year. This was equivalent to 18.45 percentage change in the cost of sales. The
increase in the cost of sales in 2018 is a sign that the cost of production and other related cost
increased in 2018 (Fridson & Alvarez, 2016). As such, this is likely to affect the operation of ELB
3. ELB FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 3
because it reduces the profitability of the firm. Even though the firm encountered an increase in
production cost, ELB Company still realized a rise in gross profit by $ 1.545 million in 2018. The
value represents a 17.87% increase in gross profit from the previous year, which value, which was
approximately $ 8.65 million (Fridson & Alvarez, 2016). The rise in the gross profit in 2018 was
a sign that the company performed well during the year despite the tremendous increase in costs
of sales. Intrinsically, there is a need for the management of ELB to employ appropriate operation
strategies that aim to minimize production cost to enable the company to realize a gross profit in
the future.
On the same note, ELB's administration and other related expenses increased in 2018,
which led to a decrease in the net profit. For instance, in 2018, administration and distribution cost
increased by $ 1.82 from last year's balance of $ 3.3 million (Stein, 2019). The rise in these
expenses led to a decrease in the net profits of the firm. Therefore, the management of ELB needs
to minimize administration and distribution expenses to improve the company's performance.
Similarly, other expenses of ELB Company also increased in 2018 from last year's balance. For
example, finance costs and additional related costs of ELB rose in 2018 by $ 0.07 million, which
brought significant change in net profit of the firm. The latter implies that the management of ELB
spent more financial resources to acquire financial support from other sources to support the
business operations of the company.
Consequently, this contributed to a decrease in the company's net profit in 2018 than the
balance of the previous year. Since the company incurred a lot of expenses in 2018, its profit before
tax during tremendously decreased, which was an indication of poor financial performance for the
firm (Stein, 2019). As a result, the amount of income tax charged on the firm's profit before tax
was related lower than the previous year balance since the amount of income tax paid by affirming

depends on the amount of profit made during the year. As a result of the general increase in
expenses of ELB especially administration, distribution and finance cost in 2018 than in 2017, the
company reported a decrease in net profit for the year which shows that ELB performed poorly in
2018. For instance, its net profit in 2018 decreased by $ 0.24 million, which was equivalent to
6.847% deficit in 2018. Therefore, the management of ELB should employ appropriate strategies
to help improve the performance of the company in the years to come to ensure continuity of the
company as well as improvement in financial performance.
Statement of financial position analysis
Usually, the information reported in a balance sheet of a firm can be used by the
management and other stakeholders to assess the financial performance of the business. A rise in
the value of particulars in the balance sheet is a sign of improvement in financial performance
while a decrease in value signifies poor performance (Rivera, 2014). This section of the report will
focus on the various change in the balance sheet of ELB Company attributed to an increase in the
firm’s performance between 2017 and 2018 financial year.
In 2018 financial year, the company reported significant changes in both current and non-
current, which signifies an improvement in the financial performance in 2018 compared 2017
balances. For example, the total assets of the firm grew from $ 32.2 million in 2017 to $ 40.93
million in 2018, which was a significant improvement in the value of the firm.
On the other side, ELB's net trade receivable declined in 2018 from the previous year
balances. For instance, in 2017, the value of trade receivables were $ 5.2 million, but in 2018, the
amount reduced to $ 4.3. The main reason for the reduction in trade receivables might be that the
company's debtors paid the company their due thus decreasing the value of trade receivables
5. ELB FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 5
(Hilton & Platt, 2015). Typically, a decrease in the value of trade receivables is an improvement
in financial performance because the company can manage its debts.
ELB also reported substantial changes in the value of its equity and liabilities in 2018 from
the previous year. Even though the difference in the company's equity helps in improving its capital
base, the company should focus on increasing equity value than increasing its liabilities (Hilton &
Platt, 2015). The cost of ELB's ordinary shares remained the same for both 2017 and 2018 financial
years which mean that company did not issue new shares for subscription to attract public funds
as a way of generating more capital. Nonetheless, ELB reported a substantial rise in retained
earnings in 2018 of $ 3.26 million compared to the previous year balance. The increase in the value
of retained income shows that ELB tried to increase its capital with internal funding by keeping a
more significant percentage of its profits to improve its financial performance (Hilton & Platt,
2015). The positive change may can about due to the company either reducing the amount of
dividend paid to shareholders or not distributing any dividends but to return a net profit to finance
business activities of the firm. This shows a sign of improvement in the financial performance of
ELB in 2018; thus, the management should aim at increasing its retained earnings in the subsequent
years to reduce the liquidity of the firm. As such, the return on capital (ROCE) of ELB 2018
increased due to a decrease in dividends paid to shareholders during the year.
As ELB's retained earnings for 2018 increases, the value of term loans did not change,
which means that the company did not acquire more loan in 2018 to finance its operations. But
the value of the firm's 6 % bond increased in 2018, which infers that the management raised the
company's source through bonds (Hilton & Platt, 2015). Also, should term liabilities of ELB rose
in 2018 from the previous balances of 2017, which means the management increased the liquidity
of the company by increasing the value of short-term liabilities.
6. ELB FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 6
Ratio analysis of ELB Company
Typically, ratios are used to examine the performance of companies during a particular
period. In this report, the following rates will be considered to assess the financial performance of
ELB.
Quick ratio
Quick ratio
Quick ratio = ($ 8.8 - $ 4.5 m) / $ 6.07 m
Quick ratio = 0. 7
Form the calculations, the value of the company quick ratio is 0.7. This suggests that the
company is more liquid because its quick ratio is less than one.
Current ratio
Current ratio = $ 8.8 m / $ 6.07 m
Current ratio = 1.45
The current ratio is used to determine whether a company can pay for all its short term
responsibility using its current assets. From the result, the value of current ratio ELB is greater
than 1, which implies that ELB can services its short term duties.
Gearing ratio
Gearing ratio = ($ 11.4 m / $ 23.46) x 100 %
Gearing ratio = 49 %
The results from the calculation shows that ELB can use its equity resources to pay its long
term loans.
7. ELB FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 7
Recommendations
For ELB Company to increase its financial performance, the management should put into
consideration the following recommendations:
1. Minimize the company’s external funding to reduce the liquidity of the firm.
2. Minimize administration and distribution to increase the net profit of the company.
