Conclusion:
This project on comparative and common size balance sheets provided a valuable opportunity to
analyze a company’s financial position over different periods. By comparing financial data year-over-
year, the comparative balance sheet analysis revealed significant trends, allowing us to observe growth
areas, potential risks, and changes in the company's financial health. On the other hand, the common
size balance sheet helped in understanding the structural composition of the company’s assets,
liabilities, and equity. Expressing each item as a percentage of total assets facilitated clearer
comparisons, regardless of scale, making it easier to analyze shifts in financial structure.
Through this analysis, we gained a deeper insight into the company's resource allocation, debt levels,
and equity strength. Such evaluations are essential for making informed decisions, whether by
management, investors, or stakeholders, as they highlight both strengths and areas needing
improvement. This project has enhanced our understanding of financial statement analysis and its
importance in accounting and finance.
