This allows you to compare financial statements from different periods or for different companies on a more meaningful basis. For example, if you want to compare the profitability of two companies, you could express both companies&#8217; net income as a percentage of sales. This would allow you to see which company is more profitable, regardless of their size.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Percent change analysis<\/strong> is a technique that calculates the percentage change in a financial statement item from one period to another. This allows you to identify trends in financial performance. For example, if you want to see if a company&#8217;s sales are increasing or decreasing, you could calculate the percentage change in sales from one year to the next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both common size analysis and percent change analysis are useful techniques for identifying financial statements trends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;common size analysis&#8221;
