Vertical analysis:
Vertical analysis is the method of financial statement analysis, and it is useful to evaluating a company’s performance and financial condition. Vertical analysis is helpful for analyzing the changes in the financial statements over the time, and comparing the each item on a financial statement with a total amount from the same statement. In the vertical analysis, the financial statements are analyzed in the following manner:
- In vertical analysis of a balance sheet, each asset item is stated as a percent of the total asset, and each liability and owner’s equity item is stated as a percent of total liabilities and owner’s equity.
- In vertical analysis of an income statement, each item of revenue and expense is stated as a percent of total revenues of the business.
To prepare: The vertical analysis of A Incorporation’s operating income statement.
B.
To explain: The decrease in income from operations.
