An income statement is a summary of the revenues and
expenses of a business over a period of time, usually either
one month, three months, or one year.
Summarizes the results of the firms operating and
financing decisions during that time.
Operating decisions of the company apply to production
and marketing such as sales/revenues, cost of goods sold,
administrative and general expenses (advertising, office
salaries)
Provides operating income/earnings before interest and
taxes (EBIT)
 17-6

Results of financing decisions are

reflected in the remainder of the
income statement.
When interest expenses and taxes are
subtracted from EBIT, the result is net
income available to shareholders.
Net income does not necessarily equal
actual cash flow from operations and
financing.

Methods of
Financial Statement Analysis
Horizontal Analysis
Vertical Analysis
Common-Size Statements
Trend Percentages
Ratio Analysis
 17-29

Horizontal Analysis

Using comparative financial

statements to calculate dollar
or percentage changes in a
financial statement item from
one period to the next
 17-30

Vertical Analysis
For a single financial
statement, each item
is expressed as a
percentage of a
significant total,
e.g., all income
statement items are
expressed as a
percentage of sales
 17-31

Common-Size Statements
Financial statements that show
only percentages and no
absolute dollar amounts
 17-32

Trend Percentages
Show changes over time in
given financial statement items
(can help evaluate financial
information of several years)
 17-33

Ratio Analysis
Expression of logical relationships
between items in a financial
statement of a single period
(e.g., percentage relationship
between revenue and net income)
