Trend Analysis and Component Percentage
Financial statements report the financial condition and progress of a business for a fiscal period. Accounting concepts “Adequate Disclosure” and “Consistent Reporting” are important concepts to consider when preparing the financial statements and supporting schedules. Various groups use the financial information in different ways to assist with decision making; therefore, all information must be disclosed, even if it doesn’t make the company look good.

Trend Analysis and Component Percentage
Comparative Financial Statements— Financial statements providing information for two or more fiscal
periods in order to compare specific items from one fiscal period to past fiscal periods. The Consistent Reporting concept states that the same accounting procedures must be followed in the same way in each accounting period.
Ratio— A comparison between two numbers showing how many times one
number exceeds the other; it may be stated as either a ratio, percentage, or fraction. All three ways of expressing the ratios are essentially the same.
Example: For a business with net sales of $2,000,000.00 and net income of $200,000.00, the relationship may be stated as any of these ratios:

RATIO ANALYSIS
Net IncomeNet Sales Stated Ratio÷ =$2,000,000.00 ÷ = 10 times
(10 to 1 or 10:1)$200,000.00
The stated ratio means net sales is 10 times net income.
Net SalesNet Income Percentage Ratio÷ =$200,000.00 ÷ = .10 or 10%$2,000,000.00
Net income is 10% of sales.
Net SalesNet Income Fractional Ratio÷ =$200,000.00 ÷ = 1/10$2,000,000.00
Net income is one-tenth of net sales.

Trend Analysis on the Income Statement
Trend Analysis—also called Horizontal Analysis— Comparison of the relationship between one item on a financial
statement and the same item on a previous fiscal period’s financial statement. Various trend analysis calculations include a trend analysis of the Income Statement, trend analysis of the Statement of Stockholder’s Equity, trend analysis of the Balance Sheet. Trend analysis is one method of financial analysis used to help predict how well a business will perform in the future. It is often performed using financial statement for a 3-5 year period.

COMPONENT PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
also called Vertical Analysis. Component percentages (usually shown as a percent of net
sales) on comparative statements show changes in a specific item from year to year. The cause of significant unfavorable changes should be investigated so that corrective action can be taken. Usually done on the Income Statement, but can also be done on other financial statements such as the Statement of Stockholders’ Equityand Balance Sheet.

Two major guides to determine acceptable levels of financial performance:
1. Prior company performance 2. Comparison with published trade performance standards.
Example (p. 500): Wiseman Grocery considers a component percentage of 3.0% for income from operations to be very good. However, Mitchell Manufacturing Co. considers 12% component percentage for income from operations the minimum acceptable result. The difference is due to the different financial characteristics of the two businesses.
-Grocery store has a low investment in plant assets and sells inventory quickly.-The manufacturing co. has a high investment in plant assets and holds its inventory much longer. Their higher investment per sales dollar means that the company must earn a higher rate on sales.

LESSON 17-1
CENTURY 21 ACCOUNTING © 2009 South-Western, Cengage Learning
Other sources of performance guides include:
1. Financial and credit-reporting companies such as Dun and Bradstreet
2. The company’s planned financial objectives(budget schedules)
3. Current interest rates that could be earned by investing capital elsewhere
4. Financial information available on the Internet.

RATE EARNED ON NET SALES
Rate earned on net sales—A business that carefully controls costs should earn a consistent rate on net sales from year to year. If costs suddenly change, the rate earned on net sales also changes. Compare the rate with businesses similar and to the company’s own past experience. If the rate declines, the company must increase sales or reduce costs to maintain an acceptable rate.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share—The amount of net income earned on one share of common stock during a fiscal period. Management and stockholders use earnings per share as a measure of success. As earning per share increase, more people are interested in buying the company’s stock which in turn makes the price go up. Information from the Income Statement and Statement of Stockholders’ Equity is needed to calculate earnings per share.
One of the most widely recognized financial ratios

Price-earnings ratio—Investors want to buy stock in companies that will earn a reasonable return on their investment. The relationship between the market value per share of stock and the earnings per share is the price-earnings ratio. Market Price is determined by the amount that investors are willing to pay for a share of stock. Compare ratio with prior years to see if there is a favorable trend.

Efficiency Analysis
Efficiency Analysis—Profitability and continued growth of the business are influenced by how efficiently the business utilizes its assets (mainly accounts receivable and merchandise inventory). Three phases of the operating cycle are: 1) purchase merchandise, 2) Sell merchandise, 3) Collect accounts receivable.
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio—The number of times the average amount of accounts receivable is collected annually. Use information from the Balance Sheet and Income Statement

The optimum merchandise inventory turnover ratio is determined by two factors:
1) Amount of sales. 2) Number of days needed to replenish inventory.
The lower-than-desired level of inventory results in lost sales because some items are out of stock before the new inventory arrives.

LESSON 17-3 - Calculating Financial Strength Analysis
Short-Term Financial Strength Analysis—for a business to be successful, they need adequate capital. Capital comes from two sources—1) Owners’ investments and retained earnings and 2) Loans.
Capital invested in assets of over long periods of time is called long-term assets or plant assets. Capital invested in assets over short periods of time is called current assets.
3 Measures to analyze short-term financial strength: Working Capital Current Ratio Acid-test Ratio
CENTURY 21 ACCOUNTING © 2009 South-Western, Cengage Learning
WORKING CAPITAL
Working Capital—the amount of current assets available after current liabilities are paid. Used mainly to compare one period to the next, not with other companies.

CURRENT RATIO
Current Ratio—a ratio that shows the numeric relationship of current assets to current liabilities.
The current ratio of 2.1 means that the company owns $2.10 in current assets for each $1.00 needed to pay current liabilities.
The industry standard for companies similar to this has a current ratio of at least 2.0.

Quick Assets—Current assets such as cash or assets that can be quickly turned into cash, such as Accounts Receivable.
The current year’s ratio of 1.1 indicates that for each $1.00 needed to pay current liabilities, there is $1.10 available in quick assets
In comparison of other companies similar to this one, the desired industry standard is between 0.9 and 1.3. Also, in comparison with the previous year, there is a favorable trend

Long-term Financial Strength Analysis
Long-Term Financial Strength Analysis—requires a balancebetween stockholders’ capital and borrowed capital. Borrowed capital (money) must be used wisely. One thing to remember is that borrowed capital must be repaid with interest; therefore, you would not want to continue operating with a large percentage of borrowed capital which may use much of your net income for repaying the loan and if the net income declines you would not be able to make the loan payments. Also, it’s hard to get a loan with a high level of liabilities.
3 Measures to analyze long-term financial strength: Debt Ratio Equity Ratio Equity Per Share

LESSON 17-1
CENTURY 21 ACCOUNTING © 2009 South-Western, Cengage Learning
DEBT RATIO
Debt Ratio—this ratio shows the percentage of assets that are financed with borrowed capital (liabilities).
The current year ratio show that for each $1.00 of assets owned, the company has borrowed 49.1 cents. Compare this with other companies similar (average debt ratio is 43.0%) to this company and you can see that it is unfavorable. The company should consider issuing more capital stock to reduce the total liabilities to the industry average of 43.0%.

The current year ratio show that for each $1.00 of assets owned by the company, 50.9 cents’ worth was acquired with stockholders’ capital. Compare this with other companies similar (average equity ratio is 57.0%) to this company and you can see that it is unfavorable and below the industry average. The company should continue its efforts to increase the equity ratio by reducing its liabilities and issuing additional stock.
The debt and equity ratios show the mix of capital provided by capital borrowed and capital provided by stockholders. The sum of the two ratios should equal 100% as shown below. The totals always equal 100% because the total liabilities and stockholders’ equity represent the source of all asset ownership.
