This file contains a spreadsheet that can be used as a template for conducting ratio analysis. Using
the data below for Sample Company, several commonly used financial statement analysis ratios are
computed, using the data contained in the cells for the Balance Sheet and Income Statement for
Sample Company. Click on any of the cells containing a ratio to see how the ratios are computed
based on cell-referenced formulas.
To use this template for analysis of another company, copy this template to another spreadsheet
and substitute another company's financial statement data in place of the Sample Company data.
Additional ratios and analysis can be performed by inserting your own ratio formulas into the
spreadsheet and/or by incorporating additional information (e.g., free cash flow analysis or debt
coverage ratios).
