Required
Perform the following analyses. If you have insufficient data to use averages in ratio computations, use year-end balances in the calculations.
a. Perform horizontal analysis of the income statement and balance sheet data. Use 2003 as the base year.
b. Perform vertical analysis of the income statement and balance sheet data for 2003 and 2004. Use sales revenue as the base figure for the income statement. Use total assets as the base figure for the balance sheet.
c. Calculate the following liquidity ratios for 2004 and 2003: (1) working capital, (2) current ratio, (3) quick (acid-test) ratio, (4) accounts receivable turnover, (5) average collection period, (6) inventory turnover, (7) number of days required to sell inventory.
d. Calculate the following solvency ratios for 2004 and 2003: (1) liabilities to total equity, (2) stockholders? equity ratio, (3) debt/equity ratio, (4) number of times interest earned, (5) plant assets to long-term liabilities.
e. Calculate the following profitability ratios for 2004 and 2003: (1) net margin, (2) turnover of assets, (3) return on investment, (4) return on equity.

Solution Preview
(a) Horizontal Analysis
In horizontal analysis you have to compare financial data of two or more years. For example, sales revenue from 2003 to 2004 has increased by $52000 or 20.39% (52000*100/255000). Similarly you can calculate the rise in net income: $17900 or 38%. These are very good signs for any company.
You can also put other income statement or balance sheet figures and calculate the growth or otherwise.
(b) Vertical Analysis
Income Stat: You may calculate Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit/Sales or Net Profit Margin/Sales. These are very popular profitability ratios.
Balance Sheet: Calculate Return on Assets=Net Income/Assets, Debt to Assets = Total Liabilities/Assets, Debt to Equity = Total Liabilities/Shareholders' Equity. These are leverage and liquidity ratios.
