Two Types of Financial Analysis
Horizontal
Vertical
3Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2014. All rights reserved.
What is Horizontal Analysis?
Also called Trend Analysis
Shows changes in amounts on financial statements over time
Compares the same accounts over time (apples to apples)
4
Uses a Comparative Balance Sheet (includes more than one accounting period on the same document)
Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2014. All rights reserved.
5
Calculations and Horizontal Analysis
Changes can be shown in dollar amounts or percentages.
Dollar amounts are simply calculated by subtracting the original period from the current period. (example on next slide)
Percentages are calculated by dividing the dollar amount of change by the amount in the original period, then multiplying the answer by 100. (example on next slide)

EXPECTATIONS
For example, if management expected Net Income to increase by 20% and it only increased 10%, management will need to look at whether Sales could have decreased or Expenses could have increased.
For example, if Accounts Receivable decreased by 30% from one year to the next, this could mean that either the existing credit accounts are being paid off by the customers, or new customers could be paying in cash as opposed to credit.
Horizontal Analysis Implications - Examples

• Assume a company’s change in Accounts Receivable over five years is as follows:

To make the graph, create a spreadsheet with the years examined and the dollar amount of the changes.
Graphing can visually show trends of increases and decreases in accounts over time.

What is Vertical Analysis?
Also called common-size analysis
Amounts are shown as a percentage
Amounts not necessarily compared over time to the same accounts, as in horizontal or trend analysis, but different amounts are compared to a common total on the same financial statement
10Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2014. All rights reserved.
11
Calculations and Vertical Analysis
Calculated by dividing the individual amount by a base amount, then multiplying by 100. (examples on the next slide)
On the Balance Sheet, Total Assets, Total Liabilities, or Total Stockholders’ Equity are typically used as the base amounts.
On the Income Statement, Total Sales is typically the base amount.

** If there are no Sales Discounts or Sales
Returns and Allowances, each item can be divided
by Total Sales. **

EXPECTATIONS
For example, if Accounts Receivable represents a large percent of Total Assets (that percentage would have to be established by management), management may want to tighten its credit policies.
For example, if the Cost of Goods Sold is an especially high percent of Sales or Revenue, more sales will be necessary to cover the costs.

Independent Practice Assignments
Trend Analysis Assignment #1- In pairs, students will select a company to prepare a trend analysis. Locate a Comparative Balance Sheet and Income Statement for the company. Then the students will prepare a trend analysis for at least three accounts each from the company’s balance sheet and three accounts from the income statement. They should also include their own conclusion for each trend and a recommendation to management based on the increases or decreases they discover. They may prepare this on a spreadsheet program (or manually) and will present their findings to the class.
Common-size Analysis Assignment #2- Individually, students will select a company and locate a Balance Sheet and Income Statement and prepare a vertical analysis of at least three items on each statement. These items are to be compared to a base amount which will equal 100% so that students will then create a pie chart for each of the two financial statements. Students will then make a conclusion and recommendation based on the results of the two pie graphs.
Trend Analysis Graph Assignment # 3- Students will locate the Comparative Balance Sheet or Comparative Income Statement for a company of their choosing. They will select at least five accounts for the statement they choose and create graphs for each account showing the change over the different time periods. They can follow a format similar to the one in the presentation or a format of their choosing— as long as a spreadsheet displays the changes in the five accounts across the time periods and five graphs total (one for each spreadsheet). They should make a statement about each of the analyses in order to make a possible recommendation to management.
