Answer:
§ A technique for evaluating a series of financial statement data over a period of time. Its purpose is to
determine the increase and decrease that has taken place, expressed either an amount or a percentage.
§ Involves comparison of amounts shown in the FS of two or more consecutive periods. The difference and
percentage change of the amounts are calculated using the EARLIER period as the BASE PERIOD.
To determine the increase and decrease expressed in percentage, the formula is:
Answer:
§ Vertical analysis is the process of comparing figures in the FS of a single period. It involves conversion of
amounts in the FS to a common base. This is accomplished by expressing all figures in the FS as
percentages of an important item such as total assets (in the balance sheet) or net sales (in the income
statement). These converted statements are called common-size statements or percentage composition
statements.
§ Stated otherwise,
Ø When preparing common-size statement for the balance sheet, the various items on the balance sheet
are typically stated as a percentage of total assets.
Ø When preparing common-size statement for the income statement, the various items on the income
statement are typically stated as a percentage of net sales pesos.
4) What is Ratio Analysis
Answer: This technique establishing relationship among financial statement accounts at given date or period of
time. These ratios analyze firm’s liquidity, the use of leverage, asset management, cost control, profitability,
growth, and valuation.
1. Liquidity ratio.
Provides information about the firm’s ability to pay its current obligations and continue operations.
2. Activity ratio.
Measures the firm’s use of assets to generate revenue and income. These ratios evaluate liquidity because
they indicate how quickly assets are turned into cash.
Ratio Formula Purpose
Inventory Cost of Goods Sold It measures the number of times that the
Turnover Average Merchandise Inventory inventory is replaced during the period.
Page 2 of 20
Average Age 360 days It indicates the length of time during
of Trade Payables Trade Payable Turnover which payables remain unpaid.
3. Solvency ratio
Relate to the company’s long-run survival. It shows the company’s ability to repay lenders when debt
matures and to make the required payments prior to the date of maturity.
Total Liabilities
Debt Ratio Proportion of total provided by creditors
Total Asset
Page 3 of 20
Times Interest Earnings Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) It determines the extent of which
Earned Ratio Interest Expense operations cover interest expense
4. Profitability ratio.
Relate to the company’s performance in the current period. It shows the company’s ability to generate
income. Measure earnings in relation to some base, such as assets, sales or capital.
Net Sales – Cost of Goods Sold In indicates how much profit was made,
Gross Profit
on average, on each peso of sales after
Percentage Net Sales
deducting the cost of goods sold.
Price Earnings (PE) Price Per Share It indicates the number of pesos
Ratio Earnings Per Share required to buy P1 of earnings.

Final reminder.
1. In horizontal analysis, percentage of change is not computed if the base is zero or negative.
2. In vertical analysis, only percentages are presented.
3. When calculating a ratio using balance sheet (BS) amounts only (i.e., numerator and denominator is
balance sheet items), both the numerator and denominator should be based on amounts as of the same
balance sheet date (i.e., not averaged, not the balance of previous balance sheet). Same rule will apply
when it comes to using income statement (IS) amounts only.
4. If one income statement and one balance sheet item is used at the same ratio (i.e., numerator is income
statement item while denominator is BS item), the balance sheet amount should be expressed as an
average [(Beginning + Ending) ÷ 2].
5. When using average BS amounts and the beginning balance (previous year BS) is not available, use
ending balance now will represent the average (unless the beginning balance can be computed or work
backed).
6. When computing for a turnover ratio (e.g., AR turnover), sales and purchases are assumed to be on
account unless otherwise stated.
7. When computing for a ratio involving the number of days in a year, use 360 days, unless otherwise stated
that 365 days will be used.
8. The term “net income” is assumed to be after deducting all expenses and that includes interest and taxes,
unless otherwise stated.
