Horizontal 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.

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%.

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.

Vertical 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.

that Quality is
choosing to finance
its growth through
retention of
earnings rather
than through
issuing additional
debt.

Vertical Analysis
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 44% of
Quality’s (12.6%).

Basic Financial Analysis
Ratio analysis involves methods of
calculating and interpreting
financial ratios to assess a firm’s
financial condition and
performance.
It is of interest to shareholders,
creditors, and the firm’s own
management

Ratio Analysis
LiquidityRatios – measures capacity to meet short term
obligation
Activity Ratios – measures effective use of resources
Leverage (gearing) Ratios – measures indebtedness
Profitability Ratios – measures overall profitability
Market Ratios – measures based on market price of shares -
important to investors
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
CurrentRatio – measures firm’s ability to meet its
short-term obligation
The higher the ratio, the more liquid the firm is.
A current ratio of 2.0 is occasionally acceptable
Current ratio = total current assets
total current liabilities
Current ratio = $1,233,000 = 1.97
$620,000
Activity ratio –inventory turnover
Inventory Turnover – measures the
activity/liquidity of a firm’s inventory
The higher the better but only meaningful if
compared with other firms in the same
industry (20 for grocery store, lower for an
art gallery)
Leverage Ratio -Debt Ratio
Debt Ratio (Financial leverage ratio) – measures the
proportion of total assets financed by the firm’s creditors
The higher this ratio, the greater the firms’ degree of
indebtedness, the more financial leverage it has
Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets
Debt Ratio = $1,643,000/$3,597,000 = 45.7%
35.
Debt Ratio –Times Interest Earned Ratio
Times Interest Earned Ratio (interest coverage) – measures
the firms’ ability to make contractual interest payments
The higher the better – a value of at least 3.0 and
preferably closer to 5.0 is often suggested
Times Interest Earned = EBIT (Operating Income)/Interest
Times Interest Earned = $418,000/$93,000 = 4.5
36.
Debt ratio -Fixed-Payment Coverage
Fixed-Payment Coverage Ratio – measures the firms’
ability to meet all fixed-payment obligations (loan
interest and principal, lease payments, preferred stock
dividend)
The higher, the better. Also measures risk, the lower the
ratio, the greater the risk to both lenders and owners
Debt-equity ratio
Measuresthe relationship between the firm’s resources
provided through debt and those provided through
ownership (equity)
The greater the D/E ratio is, the riskier the company is
as an investment
Formula = Total Liabilities
Total stockholders’ equity
39.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
GrossProfit Margin – measures the percentage of each sales
dollar remaining after the firm has paid for its goods
The higher, the better
GPM = Gross Profit/Net Sales
GPM = $986,000/$3,074,000 = 32.1%
MARKET RATIOS
Market/Book(M/B) Ratio – provides an assessment of
how investors view the firm’s performance
Performing stocks – higher M/B ratios
M/B Ratio = Market Price/Share of Common Stock
Book Value/Share of Common Stock
M/B Ratio = $32.25/$23.00 = 1.40
