Explanation / Answer

2a: Commmon size balance sheet:

Explanation: The base is taken as total assets for each year. Thus % of cash this year = amount of cash/total assets*100 = 55000/3131620*100 = 1.8%. For last year the base is last year's total assets and all percentages are computed using this as base.

b. INCOME STATEMENT:

Explanation: Here sales is taken as base. Thus for this year cost of goods sold % = 3866000/5015000*100 = 77.1%.

Similarly for last year the base will be 4357000.

This year Last year Assets Current assets: Cash 1.8 % 5.4 % Marketable securities 0.0 % 0.7 % Accounts receivable 15.1 % 11.0 % Inventory 30.2 % 22.6 % Prepaid expenses 0.6 % 1.0 % Total current assets 47.7 % 40.6 % Plant and equipment, net 52.3 % 59.4 % Total assets 100.0 % 100.0 % Liabilities and stockholder's equity Liabilities: Current liabilities 25.6 % 17.0 % Bonds payable 19.6 % 23.7 % Total liabilities 45.3 % 40.7 % Stockholder's equity: Preferred stock 10.1 % 12.1 % Common stock 16.2 % 19.5 % Retaind earnings 28.5 % 27.7 % Total stockholder's equity 54.7 % 59.3 % Total liabilities and equity 100.0 % 100.0 %
