Common Size Financial Statements:Company’s financial statement, which displays all items as percentages of a common base figure. This type of financial statement allows for easy analysis between companies or between time periods of a company.The values on the common size statement are expressed as percentages of a statement component such as revenue. While most firms don't report their statements in common size, it is beneficial to compute if you want to analyze two or more companies of differing size against each other. Formatting financial statements in this way reduces the bias that can occur when analyzing companies of differing sizes. It also allows for the analysis of a company over various time periods, revealing, for example, what percentage of sales is cost of goods sold and how that value has changed over time.

Types of Common Size Financial Statement:(1)Common Size Balance Sheet

(2)Common Size Income Statement:

Common Size Income Statement: An income statement in which each account is expressed as a percentage of the value of sales. This type of financial statement can be used to allow for easy analysis between companies or between time periods of a company.

Common size income statement analysis allows an analyst to determine how the various components of the income statement affect a company's profit.

Common Size Balance Sheet:A company balance sheet that displays all items as percentages of a common base figure. This type of financial statement can be used to allow for easy analysis between companies or between time periods of a company.

The image above illustrates the difference between a regular balance sheet and a common size balance sheet. In the normal balance sheet, account values are expressed in dollar terms, while in the common size one, each value is listed as a percentage of total assets. This is also done for liabilities, where each liability account is a percentage of total liabilities.

Advantages And Disadvantages of Common Size Statement:Advantages of Common Size statement:

It reveals Sources and Application of Funds in a nutshell which help in taking decision.

If common size statements of 2 or more years are compared it indicate the changing proportion of various components of Assets, Liabilities, Cost, Net Sale & Profit.

When Inter Firm Comparison is made with the help of Common size statement it helps in doing corporate evaluation and Ranking.

Disadvantages of Common Size Statement: No Established Standard Proportion:

Common Size Statements are regarded as useless as there is no established standard proportion of an asset to the total asset or an item of expense to the net sales.

Consistency Required:

If Financial Statement of a Particular business organization are not prepared year after year on a consistent basis comparative study of common size statement will be misleading.

Analysis:Income Statement:A financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Financial performance is assessed by giving a summary of how the business incurs its revenues and expenses through both operating and non-operating activities. It also shows the net profit or loss incurred over a specific accounting period, typically over a fiscal quarter or year. It is also known as the "profit and loss statement" or "statement of revenue and expense".

Net Profit: In business, what remains after subtracting all the costs (namely business, depreciation, interest, and taxes) from a company's revenues? Net income is sometimes called the bottom line. It is also called earnings or net profit. For an individual, gross income minus taxes, allowances, and deductions. An individual's net income is used to determine how much income tax is owed.

The company’s net profit in 2010 as in the comparison of 2009 but slant decrement in 2011.

Balance Sheet:

Assets:Non - Current Assets:  Noncurrent assets are capitalized rather than expensed, meaning that the company allocates the cost of the asset over the number of years for which the asset will be in use, instead of allocating the entire cost to the accounting year in which the asset was purchased.

Current Assets: A balance sheet item which equals the sum of cash and cash

equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, prepaid expenses, and other assets that could be converted to cash in less than one year. A company's creditors will often be interested in how much that company has in current assets, since these assets can be easily liquidated in case the company goes bankrupt.
