Summary of "Financial Statement Analysis in hindi, financial management,"

Overview

Financial statements and related items

Analysis methodologies (step-by-step frameworks)

  1. Horizontal (trend) analysis

    • Compare a line item across multiple accounting periods (e.g., 2016–2021 or 2018 vs 2019).
    • Compute absolute change and percentage change.
    • Percentage-change formula: % change = (difference ÷ base period value) × 100
    • Use trends to identify growth, decline, seasonality and longer-term direction.
  2. Vertical (common-size) analysis

    • Express each income-statement item as a percentage of a base (typically revenue/sales).
    • On the balance sheet, express items as a percentage of total assets or equity.
    • Useful to see cost structure, margins and the relative weight of items in a single period.
  3. Ratio analysis

    • Profitability ratios (margins) — assess profit levels and trends.
    • Operational efficiency / turnover ratios — assess how efficiently resources are used.
    • Liquidity ratios — measure short-term ability to meet obligations (cash position, working capital).
    • Solvency / leverage ratios (e.g., debt‑equity) — assess capacity to meet long-term obligations and default risk.
    • Ratios are used to compare current vs prior periods and against peers/industry benchmarks.
  4. Benchmarking / peer comparison

    • Compare company metrics to competitors or industry averages to evaluate relative performance and strategy.
