Accounting LanguageAccounting Language Accounting is the process of analyzing,
classifying, recording, summarizing, and interpreting business transactions.
Everybody is interested in two aspects of an enterprise:
1. Its solvency, or its ability to pay its debts.
2. Its profitability, or its ability to earn a reasonable profit on the owners’ investment.

Types of ComparisonsTypes of Comparisons
A company’s financial statements are meaningful only if you analyze them on a comparative basis. Three bases are useful for making such a comparison:
1. Statements of the same company for the current year and one or more prior years.
2. Financial data for other companies in the same industry.
3. Previously established financial standards or objectives.

In 2011, the vertical analysis provided a 31.6 percent ratio of Gross Profit to Net Sales. This can be interpreted to mean that for every $100 in net sales, gross profit was $31.60.
In 2010, the ratio of Gross Profit to Net Sales was 33.0%. This means that for every $100 in net sales, gross profit was $33.00.

When you perform a vertical analysis of a comparative balance sheet, you express the figure for each item as a percentage of total assets.
Or, you can express the figure for each item as a percentage of the total of liabilities and stockholders equity, which is the same figure.

Repeat the procedure for Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit to get the trend percentage chart.
Observe that, over the five-year period, the trend of Net Sales is upward. However, Cost of Goods Sold is going up at a more rapid rate than Net Sales. This resulted in smaller increases in Gross Profit.

Industry ComparisonsIndustry Comparisons Vertical analysis, using percentage figures, is
useful when you wish to compare the figures for one company with the average figures for the given industry.
The format of the financial statement defines it as a common-size statement.
Common-size statements can be used to compare one company with another as well as with the industry averages.
Trade and marketing associations often gather information and publish common-size statements.

Equity per ShareEquity per Share
The term equity per share does not mean the cash value or market value of a share.
It means the amount that would be distributed per share of stock on a book basis if the corporation were to liquidate without incurring any expenses, gains, or losses in selling assets and paying its liabilities.
When there are preferred stock outstanding, you must deduct the liquidation value of the preferred stockholders’ equity, including any dividends in arrears on cumulative preferred stock, to arrive at the stockholders’ equity available to holders of common stock.
