  2. Learning Objectives • Describe basic financial statement analytical methods. • Use financial statement analysis to assess the solvency of a business. • Use financial statement analysis to assess the profitability of a business. • Describe the contents of corporate annual reports.

  3. Learning Objective 1 Describe basic financial statement analytical methods.

  4. Basic Analytical Methods • Users analyze a company’s financial statements using a variety of analytical methods. Three such methods are as follows: • Horizontal analysis • Vertical analysis • Common-sized statements

  5. Horizontal Analysis • The percentage analysis of increases and decreases in related items in comparative financial statements is called horizontal analysis.

  6. Horizontal Analysis

  7. Horizontal Analysis: Difference$17,000 Base year (2013)$533,000 = 3.2% Horizontal Analysis

  8. Horizontal Analysis

  9. Horizontal Analysis: Difference$25,800 Base year (2013)$64,700 = 39.9% Horizontal Analysis

  10. Horizontal Analysis

  11. Horizontal Analysis Horizontal Analysis: Difference$296,500 Base year (2013)$1,234,000 = 24.0%

  12. Horizontal Analysis

  13. Horizontal Analysis Horizontal Analysis: Difference$37,500 Base year (2013)$ 100,000 = 37.5%

  14. Vertical Analysis • A percentage analysis used to show the relationship of each component to the total within a single financial statement is called vertical analysis.

  15. Vertical Analysis • In a vertical analysis of the balance sheet, each asset item is stated as a percent of the total assets. • Each liability and stockholders’ equity item is stated as a percent of the total liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

  16. Vertical Analysis

  17. Vertical Analysis Vertical Analysis: Current Assets$550,000 Total Assets$ 1,139,500 = 48.3%

  18. Vertical Analysis • In a vertical analysis of the incomestatement, each item is stated as a percent of net sales.

  19. Vertical Analysis

  20. Vertical Analysis Vertical Analysis: Selling expenses $191,000 Net sales $1,498,000 = 12.8%

  21. Common-Sized Statements • In a common-sized statement, all items are expressed as percentages with no dollar amounts shown. • Common-sized statements are useful for comparing the current period with prior periods, individual businesses with one another, or one business with industry averages.

  22. Common-Sized Statements

  23. Learning Objective 2 Use financial statement analysis to assess the solvency of a business.

  24. Solvency Analysis • All users of financial statements are interested in the ability of a company to do the following: • Meet its financial obligations (debts), calledsolvency. • Earn income, called profitability.

  25. Solvency Analysis • Solvency analysis focuses on the ability of a business to pay its current and noncurrent liabilities. • Solvency and profitability are interrelated. A company that cannot pay its debts will have difficulty obtaining credit, which can decrease its profitability.

  26. Current Position Analysis • A company’s ability to pay its current liabilities is called current position analysis. It is of special interest to short-term creditors.

  27. Working Capital • The excess of current assets over current liabilities is called working capital. Working capital is often used to evaluate a company’s ability to pay current liabilities. • Working capital is computed as follows: Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

  28. Current Assets Current Liabilities Current Ratio = Current Ratio • The current ratio, sometimes called the working capital ratio,also measures a company’s ability to pay its current liabilities. • The current ratio is computed as follows:

  29. $550,000 $210,000 $533,000 $243,000 Current Ratio • The current ratio for Lincoln Company is computed below. 2014 2013 Current assets $550,000 $533,000 Current liabilities $210,000 $243,000 Current ratio 2.6 2.2

  30. Quick Assets Current Liabilities Quick Ratio = Quick Ratio • A ratio that measures the “instant” debt-paying ability of a company is called the quick ratio, or acid-test ratio. It is computed as follows: Quick assets are cash and other assets that can be easily converted to cash.

  31. $280,500 $210,000 $244,700 $243,000 Quick Assets • The quick ratio for Lincoln Company is computed below. 2014 2013 Quick assets: Cash $ 90,500 $ 64,700 Temporary Investments 75,000 60,000 Accounts receivable (net) 115,000 120,000 Total quick assets $280,500 $244,700 Current liabilities $210,000 $243,000 Quick ratio 1.3 1.0

  32. Net Sales Average Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable Turnover = Accounts Receivable Turnover • The relationship between sales and accounts receivable may be stated as accounts receivable turnover. Collecting accounts receivable as quickly as possible improves a company’s solvency. • The accounts receivable turnover is computed as follows:

  33. $1,498,000 $117,500 $1,200,000 $130,000 Accounts Receivable Turnover • The accounts receivable turnover for Lincoln Company is computed below. 2014 2013 Net sales $1,498,000 $1,200,000 Accounts receivable (net): Beginning of year $ 120,000 $ 140,000 End of year 115,000 120,000 Total $ 235,000 $ 260,000 Average (Total ÷ 2) $ 117,500 $ 130,000 Accounts receivable turnover 12.7 9.2

  34. Average Accounts Receivable Average Daily Sales Number of Days’ Sales in Receivables = Net Sales 365 Number of Days’ Sales in Receivables • The number of days’ sales in receivables is an estimate of the length of time (in days) the accounts receivable have been outstanding. It is computed as follows:

  35. 2014 2013 • Average accounts receivable • (Total accounts receivable ÷ 2) $ 117,500 $ 130,000 • Net sales $1,498,000 $1,200,000 • Average daily sales • (Net sales ÷ 365) $ 4,104 $ 3,288 $117,500 $4,104 $130,000 $3,288 Number of Days’ Sales in Receivables • The number of days’ sales in receivables for Lincoln Company is computed below. Number of days’ sales in receivables 28.6 39.5

  36. Cost of Goods Sold Average Inventory Inventory Turnover = Inventory Turnover • The relationship between the volume of goods (merchandise) sold and inventory may be stated as the inventory turnover. The purpose of this ratio is to assess the efficiency of a firm in managing its inventory. • The inventory turnover is computed as follows:

  37. $1,043,000 $273,500 $820,000 $297,000 Inventory Turnover • Lincoln’s inventory balance at the beginning of 2013 is $311,000. 2014 2013 Cost of goods sold $1,043,000 $820,000 Inventories: Beginning of year $ 283,000 $311,000 End of year 264,000 283,000 Total $ 547,000 $594,000 Average (Total ÷ 2) $ 273,500 $297,000 Inventory turnover 3.8 2.8

  38. Cost of Goods Sold 365 Average Inventory Average Daily Cost of Goods Sold Number of Days’ Sales in Inventory = Number of Days’ Sales in Inventory • The number of days’ sales in inventory is a rough measure of the length of time it takes to purchase, sell, and replace the inventory. • The number of days’ sales in inventory is computed as follows:
