Hints
Balance Sheet Analysis
In your comparative balance sheet analysis, some of the things you want to look at are:
1.    How are the assets financed? How much by debt and how much by equity?
2.    What are the major % increases on the balance sheet and why?
3.    If there is a major change in cash, take a look at the statement of cash flows to explain the
movement.
Income Statement Analysis
1.    Why is net income up or down? Is it related to lower or higher cost of sales/revenues and/or
higher or lower operating expenses?
2.    What is the % of net income for both companies? Which company has a higher % of net income
and why?

3
Ratio Analysis
In your ratio analysis, you must calculate and explain for both companies: current ratio, working capital,
debt ratio, equity ratio, gross margin, profit margin and PE ratio. If the company has account receivables
and inventory, then you must also include AR turnover and Inventory turnover.
