- A company’s comparative statements are given below. Please conduct the following analyses: a. Horizontal analysis (trend analysis) on the income statement b. Vertical analysis (common size financial statement analysis) on the income statement Note: When the dollar change is positive, it indicates that the value increased and therefore the % change should be positive. Therefore, when calculating % change involving a negative baseline value, use the absolute value of the baseline number in the denominator: % change = (new value - original baseline value)/|baseline value|. Otherwise the % change will be inconsistent with the real change. For example:Let's say item A changed from -10 to +10. Item A increased by 20 and thus should give rise to a positive % change. However, % change based on formula using the original value of -10 is -200% = [10-(-10)]/(-10).Let’s look at another example. Assume item B changed from -10…arrow_forward1.Which statement describes the difference reported P/E ratios for an industry sector where the average ratio is 15.
