13-2 Learning Objective 13-1 Describe the purpose and uses of horizontal, vertical, and ratio analyses.

13-3 Horizontal, Vertical, and Ratio Analyses Horizontal (trend) analyses are conducted to help financial statement users recognize important financial changes that unfold over time. Gross Profit in 2013 Δ in Gross Profit $ and/or % from /31/1312/31/14 Gross Profit in 2014 Trend Analysis Vertical analyses focus on important relationships between items on the same financial statement. Sales Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit $200, % 150,000 75% $ 50,000 25% AmountPercent 2014

13-4 Horizontal, Vertical, and Ratio Analyses Ratio analyses are conducted to understand relationships among various items reported in one or more of the financial statements. It is essential to understand that no analysis is complete unless it leads to an interpretation that helps financial statement users understand and evaluate a company’s financial results

13-5 Learning Objective 13-2 Use horizontal (trend) analysis to recognize financial changes that unfold over time.

13-6 Horizontal (Trend) Computations Trend analyses are usually calculated in terms of year-to-year dollar and percentage changes. Let’s look at an example

13-7 Now let’s look at the remainder of the trend analysis of the Income Statement. Can you calculate the dollar and percentage change for Cost of Sales? Now let’s calculate the percentage change in Net Sales Revenue between fiscal 2013 and fiscal Horizontal (Trend) Computations Calculate the change in dollars for Net Sales Revenue between fiscal 2013 and fiscal $53,417 – $50,521 $50,521 × 100

13-8 Learning Objective 13-3 Use vertical (common size) analysis to understand important relationships within financial statements.

13-9 Vertical (Common Size) Computations Vertical, or common size, analysis focuses on important relationships within financial statements. Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales = 100% Total Assets = 100% Cost of Sales Net Sales Revenue × 100

13-10 Learning Objective 13-4 Calculate financial ratios to assess profitability, liquidity, and solvency.

13-11 Ratio Computations Ratio analysis compares the amounts for one or more line items to the amounts for other line items in the same year. Ratios are classified into three categories... Profitability ratios examine a company’s ability to generate income. Profitability ratios examine a company’s ability to generate income. Liquidity ratios help us determine if a company has sufficient current assets to repay liabilities when due. Liquidity ratios help us determine if a company has sufficient current assets to repay liabilities when due. Solvency ratios examine a company’s ability to pay interest and repay debt when due. Solvency ratios examine a company’s ability to pay interest and repay debt when due.

13-12 Common Profitability Ratios

13-13 Common Liquidity Ratios

13-14 Common Solvency Ratios

13-15 Learning Objective 13-5 Interpret the results of financial analyses.

13-16 Interpreting Horizontal and Vertical Analyses Lowe’s assets grew only by 0.2% in fiscal Lowe’s began relying more on debt and less equity financing. Total liabilities increased 11 percent and stockholders’ equity decreased by 14.5%.

13-17 Interpreting Horizontal and Vertical Analyses Cost of sales and operating expenses are the most important determinants of the company’s profitability. Much of the increase in Net Income in fiscal 2013 is explained by greater control of the Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses.

13-18 Interpreting Horizontal and Vertical Analyses Lowe’s has experienced a small decrease in its percentage of Cost of Sales in relation to Sales Revenue from fiscal 2012 to Decreasing cost of sales means higher Gross Profit. Lowe’s did a better job of controlling its Operating Expenses between 2012 and 2013.

13-19 Ratio Calculations

13-20 Ratio Calculations

13-21 Profitability Ratios Net Profit Margin – The slowly improving economy helped boost Lowe’s profits in 2013 as shown by the increase in Net Profit Margin. Gross Profit Percentage – Lowe’s gross profit percentage indicates how much profit was made on each dollar of sales after deducting the Cost of Goods Sold.

13-22 Profitability Ratios Fixed Asset Turnover – indicates how much revenue the company generates in sales for each dollar invested in fixed assets, Home Depot 2013 fixed asset turnover ratio was 3.32 Return on Equity (ROE) – Compares the amount of net income to average stockholders’ equity. ROE reports the net amount earned during the period as a percentage of each dollar contributed by stockholders and retained in the business.

13-23 Profitability Ratios Earnings Per Share (EPS) – Shows the amount of earnings generated for each share of outstanding common stock. Price /Earnings (P/E) Ratio – Shows the relationship between EPS and the market price of one share of the company’s stock.

13-24 Liquidity Ratios Let’s change our attention to an examination of liquidity ratios. The analyses in this section focus on the company’s ability to survive in the short term, by converting assets to cash that can be used to pay current liabilities as they come due.

13-25 Liquidity Ratios Inventory Turnover Ratio – The inventory turnover ratio indicates how frequently inventory is bought and sold. The “days to sell” indicates the average number of days needed to sell each purchase of inventory. Home Depot sells its inventory in an average of 77 days in Current Ratio – The current ratio measures the company’s ability to pay its current liabilities

13-26 Solvency Ratios Debt to Assets Ratio – indicates the proportion of total assets that creditors finance. In 2013, The Home Depot had a debt-to-assets ratio of 69 percent. Times Interest Earned – indicates how many times the company’s interest expense was covered by its operating results.

13-27 Learning Objective 13-6 Describe how analyses depend on key accounting decisions and concepts.

13-28 Underlying Accounting Decisions and Concepts Accounting Decisions Difference in Strategies, e.g., type of financing. Difference in Accounting Methods, e.g., FIFO vs. LIFO. Difference in Operations, e.g., quality of items sold.

13-29 Accounting Concepts Companies may elect to use any acceptable generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) as long as they apply the principle consistently.

13-30 Conceptual Framework for Financial Accounting and Reporting

13-31 Factors Contributing to Going-Concern Problems Factors that commonly contribute to going-concern problems are listed below.

13-33 Learning Objective 13-S1 Describe how nonrecurring and other comprehensive income items are reported.

13-34 Nonrecurring Items Extraordinary Items Very few events qualify as extraordinary items.  Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Methods Direct adjustment to Retained Earnings rather than income reporting.  Discontinued Operations For discontinued component two items are reported: 1.Operating income prior to the date of disposal. 2.Gain or loss on sale or disposal of net assets.   

13-35 Nonrecurring Items NONRECURRING ITEM Discontinued Operations.

13-36 Other Special Items Comprehensive Income includes: 1.Gains or losses from certain foreign currency exchange rate changes. 2.Gains or losses resulting from the change in value of certain types of investments. Comprehensive Income includes: 1.Gains or losses from certain foreign currency exchange rate changes. 2.Gains or losses resulting from the change in value of certain types of investments. Excluded from net income because they are likely to disappear before they are ever realized.

13-38 Learning Objective 13-S2 Describe significant differences between GAAP and IFRS.

13-39 Overview At a basic level both IFRS and GAAP are concerned with accounting rules that describe 1)when an item should be recognized in the accounting system, 2)how that item should be classified (asset, liability, equity, expense, or revenue), and 3)the amount at which each item should be measured. At a basic level both IFRS and GAAP are concerned with accounting rules that describe 1)when an item should be recognized in the accounting system, 2)how that item should be classified (asset, liability, equity, expense, or revenue), and 3)the amount at which each item should be measured.

13-41 M13-1 Calculations for Horizontal Analyses Using the following income statements, perform the calculations needed for horizontal analyses. Round percentages to one decimal place.

13-42 M13-1 Calculations for Horizontal Analyses ($100,000 – $75,000) $75,000 × 100 = 33.3% Current Previous

13-43 M13-2 Calculations for Vertical Analyses Refer to M13-1. Perform the calculations needed for vertical analyses. Round percentages to one decimal place. $21,000 $100,000 × 100 = 21.0% Current Previous

13-44 M13-6 Inferring Financial Information Using Gross Profit Percentage and Year-over-Year Comparisons A consumer products company reported a 25 percent increase in sales from last year to this year. Sales last year were $200,000. This year, the company reported Cost of Goods Sold in the amount of $150,000. What was the gross profit percentage this year? Round to one decimal place. $100,000 $250,000 × 100 = 40.0% Sales ($200,000 x 1.25)$250, % Cost of Goods Sold (given)(150,000) -60.0% Gross Profit$100, %

13-45 E13-1 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses The average price of a gallon of gas in 2013 dropped $0.12 (3 percent) from $3.61 in 2012 (to $3.49 in 2013). Let’s see whether these changes are reflected in the income statement of Chevron Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013 (amounts in billions). Required: 1. Conduct a horizontal analysis by calculating the year-over-year changes in each line item, expressed in dollars and in percentages (rounded to one decimal place). How did the change in gas prices compare to the changes in Chevron Corp.’s total revenues and costs of crude oil and products? 2. Conduct a vertical analysis by expressing each line as a percentage of total revenues (round to one decimal place). Excluding income tax and other operating costs, did Chevron earn more profit per dollar of revenue in 2013 compared to 2012?

13-46 E13-1 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses The 3% decrease in the average gas price was less than the 4.8% decrease in revenues and less than the 4.0% decrease in cost of crude oil and products. It appears from this analysis that the decrease in gas prices explains only part of Chevron’s decrease in revenues. Note that the percentage decrease in revenues was similar to the percentage decrease in the cost of crude oil and products, suggesting the costs of crude oil really did decrease a lot in 2013, consistent with the decrease in gas prices. Req. 1

13-47 E13-1 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses As a percent of revenues, Chevron’s cost of crude oil and products was higher in 2013 (65.0%) than in 2012 (64.5%). This implies that Chevron earned less profit (excluding income tax and other operating costs) per dollar of revenues in 2013 than in Req. 2

13-48 E13-3 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses According to the producer price index database maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost of computer equipment fell 8.1 percent between 2012 and Let’s see whether these changes are reflected in the income statement of Computer Tycoon Inc. for the year ended December 31, Required: 1. Conduct a horizontal analysis by calculating the year-over-year changes in each line item, expressed in dollars and in percentages (rounded to one decimal place). How did the change in computer prices compare to the changes in Computer Tycoon’s sales revenues? 2. Conduct a vertical analysis by expressing each line as a percentage of total revenues (round to one decimal place). Excluding income tax, interest, and operating expenses, did Computer Tycoon earn more profit per dollar of sales in 2013 compared to 2012?

13-49 E13-3 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses The 8.1% decrease in the average price of computer equipment was less than the 16.7% decrease in total revenues. It appears from this analysis that the 8.1% decrease in computer prices was not offset by an increase in Computer Tycoon’s sales volume. In fact, the sales volume also decreased, leaving an overall decrease in sales revenues of 16.7%. Req. 1

13-50 E13-3 Preparing and Interpreting a Schedule for Horizontal and Vertical Analyses Excluding income tax, interest, and operating expenses (i.e., looking at gross profit), we see that Computer Tycoon earned 40.0% gross profit in 2013, which is down from 40.4% in In other words, Computer Tycoon earned 0.4 cents less (40.0 – 40.4) per dollar of revenues in 2013 than in Req. 2

13-51 E13-4 Computing Profitability Ratios Use the information in E13-3 to complete the following requirements. Required: 1.Compute the gross profit percentage for each year (one decimal place). Assuming that the change for 2012 to 2013 is the beginning of a sustained trend, is Computer Tycoon likely to earn more or less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2014? 2.Compute the net profit margin for each year (expressed as a percentage with one decimal place). Given your calculations here and in requirement 1, explain whether Computer Tycoon did a better or worse job of controlling operating expenses in 2013 relative to Computer Tycoon reported average net fixed assets of $54,200 in 2013 and $45,100 in Compute the fixed asset turnover ratios for both years (round to two decimal places). Did the company better utilize its investment in fixed assets to generate revenues in 2013 or 2012? 4.Computer Tycoon reported average stockholders’ equity of $54,000 in 2013 and $40,800 in Compute the return on equity ratios for both years (expressed as a percentage with one decimal place). Did the company generate greater returns for stockholders in 2013 or 2012?

13-52 E13-4 Computing Profitability Ratios Req. 1 The gross profit percentage of 40.0% means that the company generated 40.0 cents of gross profit on each dollar of sales in 2013, which was down almost half of one cent from If this continues, the company could be expected to generate even less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2014.

13-53 E13-4 Computing Profitability Ratios Req. 2 Computer Tycoon did a worse job of controlling expenses (other than the cost of goods sold) in 2013 relative to 2012 because the net profit margin decreased 2.5% (5.0 – 2.5), of which only 0.4% was attributable to the gross profit percentage decrease (from 40.4% to 40.0%).

13-54 E13-4 Computing Profitability Ratios Req. 3 The company better utilized its investment in fixed assets in Its fixed asset turnover ratio fell from 2.66 in 2012 to 1.85 in The 2013 ratio means that the company generated $1.85 of sales revenue for every dollar invested in fixed assets.

13-55 E13-4 Computing Profitability Ratios Req. 4 The company generated better returns for stockholders in 2012 (14.8%) than in 2013 (4.6%).

13-56 E13-10 Inferring Financial Information from Profitability and Liquidity Ratios Dollar General Corporation operates approximately 9,400 general merchandise stores that feature quality merchandise at low prices to meet the needs of middle-, low-, and fixed-income families in southern, eastern, and mid-western states. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the company reported average inventories of $2,475 (in millions) and an inventory turnover of Average total fixed assets were $2,080 (million), and the fixed asset turnover ratio was Required: 1.Calculate Dollar General’s gross profit percentage (expressed as a percentage with one decimal place). What does this imply about the amount of gross profit made from each dollar of sales? TIP: Work backward from the fixed asset turnover and inventory turnover ratios to compute the amounts needed for the gross profit percentage. 2.Is this an improvement from the gross profit percentage of 31.7 percent earned during the previous year?

13-57 E13-10 Inferring Financial Information from Profitability and Liquidity Ratios Req. 1 So, Gross profit percentage = (Net sales – Cost of goods sold) ÷ Net sales = ($16,931,200,000 – $12,102,750,000) ÷ $16,931,200,000 = or 28.5% We can get the net sales number from the fixed assets turnover ratio and the cost of goods sold number from the inventory turnover ratio, as shown below. Fixed asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Average fixed assets 8.14 = Net sales ÷ $2,080,000, x $2,080,000,000 = Net sales $16,931,200,000 = Net sales Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory 4.89 = Cost of goods sold ÷ $2,475,000, x $2,475,000,000 = Cost of goods sold $12,102,750,000 = Cost of goods sold

13-58 E13-13 Analyzing the Impact of Selected Transactions on the Current Ratio The Sports Authority, Inc., is a private full-line sporting goods retailer. Assume one of the Sports Authority stores reported current assets of $88,000 and its current ratio was 1.75, and then completed the following transactions: 1)paid $6,000 on accounts payable, 2)purchased a delivery truck for $10,000 cash, 3)wrote off a bad account receivable for $2,000, and 4)paid previously declared dividends in the amount of $25,000. Required: Compute the updated current ratio rounded to two decimal places, after each transaction.
