year as the starting point, and then we show all
the other years as a percentage of that one. It
COMMON- helps us see how different things grow over
time
SIZE
ANALYSIS Vertical common-
size analysis
This one is about comparing items to the total.
For balance sheets, the total is all the assets,
and for income statements, it's all the money a
company made (revenues or sales). We then
show each item as a percentage of the total.
This helps us see where the money is going or
coming from in a single year."

ratio analysis
Imagine you have a toy. If you play with it a lot and it doesn't just sit there, that's good.
These ratios help us figure out if a company's toys, which are its assets, are being used
well.
For example, we can check how quickly they sell their toys (inventory turnover) or
how fast they collect money from their friends (accounts receivable turnover). These
ratios help us understand if the company is running smoothly and making the most of
what they have
Liquidity
Ratios
Current Ratio: Compares current assets to
current liabilities to measure a company's
short-term solvency.
Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio): Similar to the
current ratio but excludes inventory to
provide a more conservative measure of
liquidity.
Solvency
Ratios
Debt to Equity Ratio: Indicates the
proportion of debt used to finance the
company's assets.
Interest Coverage Ratio: Measures a
company's ability to cover interest
payments with its earnings.
Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios are like scorecards for a company's money-making skills. They help us
understand how good a company is at making profits compared to its sales, investments, and the
money provided by owners. Think of it like a game – we want to see if the company is winning.
There are different ratios that tell us different things. For example, the 'Gross Profit Margin' ratio
helps us know how much money the company makes from selling its stuff after covering the cost
of making it. The 'Net Profit Margin' ratio shows how much money is left as profit after paying for
everything. These ratios help us figure out if the company is doing well financially and making
money for its owners.
