CHAPTER 15
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Apply horizontal analysis and vertical analysis to financial statements. There are three
bases of comparison: (1) Intracompany, which compares an item or financial relationship with
other data within a company. (2) Industry, which compares company data with industry
averages. (3) Intercompany, which compares an item or financial relationship of a company
with data of one or more competing companies.
Horizontal analysis is a technique for evaluating a series of data over a period of time to
determine the increase or decrease that has taken place, expressed as either an amount or a
percentage.
Vertical analysis is a technique that expresses each item within a financial statement in terms
of a percentage of a relevant total or a base amount.
2. Analyze a company’s performance using ratio analysis. The formula and purpose of each
ratio is presented in Illustration 15–26.
3. Apply the concept of sustainable income. Sustainable income analysis is useful in
evaluating a company’s performance. Sustainable income is the most likely level of income to
be obtained by the company in the future. Discontinued operations and other comprehensive
income are presented on the statement of comprehensive income to highlight their unusual
nature.Items below income from continuing operations must be presented net of tax.
