Return on equity is calculated by dividing the stock return by average stockholders' equity.

A low inventory turnover ratio usually is a positive sign and indicates that inventory is selling quickly.

Horizontal analysis examines trends in a company:

Value stocks have lower share prices in relationship to their fundamental ratios, and therefore, trade at lower PE ratios.

Perform a horizontal analysis on the following information providing both the dollar amount and percentage change: $\begin{array} { l r r | } \hline \text { Cash } & { \frac { \mathbf { 2 0 1 3 } } { 500,000 } } & \stackrel { \underline { \mathbf { 2 0 1 2 } } } { 200,000 } \\\text { Accounts receivable } & 900,000 & 800,000 \\\text { Inventory } & 700,000 & 500,000 \\\text { Long-term assets } & 2,200,000 & 2,500,000 \\\text { Total assets } & \$ 4,300,000 & \$ 4,000,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

Given the information below, what is the company's gross profit? $\begin{array} { | l | r | } \hline \text { Sales Revenue } & \$ 320,000 \\\hline \text { Accounts Receivable } & \$ 50,000 \\\hline \text { Ending Inventory } & \$ 100,000 \\\hline \text { Cost of Goods Sold } & \$ 250,000 \\\hline \text { Sales Returns } & \$ 20,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

If an item meets one but not both criteria for extraordinary item treatment, it is correctly excluded from extraordinary items and included with other revenue and expenses.

The current ratio is calculated as:

We report any profits or losses on discontinued operations in the current year, separately from profits and losses on the portion of the business that will continue.

Stealth Company's 2013 inventory turnover is:

Assume a company's sales are $1.6 million in 2011, $1.8 million in 2012, and $1.7 million in 2013. What is the percentage change from 2011 to 2012? What is the percentage change from 2012 to 2013? Be sure to indicate whether the percentage change is an increase or a decrease.

We use horizontal analysis to analyze trends in financial statement data, such as the dollar amount of change and the percentage change, for one company over time.

Paul Pierce Enterprises reports net income of $800,000, average total assets of $2,400,000, and average total liabilities of $400,000. Calculate the return on asset and return on equity ratios.
