2. Common-Size AnalysisCommon-size analysis is the restatement of financial statement information in a
standardized form.
Vertical common-size analysis uses the aggregate value in a financial statement for a given year
as the base, and each account’s amount is restated as a percentage of the aggregate.
Statement of financial position: Aggregate amount is total assets.
% change=X/Total assets*100
Statement of profit or loss account: Aggregate amount is revenues or sales.
% change =X/Revenue or sales*100
