What is vertical analysis, and why is it useful in performing financial performance measurement?
Vertical analysis will show what percentage a financial statement item is in relation to net sales (in the case of the income statement) or to total assets or liabilities plus stockholders' equity (in the case of the balance sheet). A change in the percentages from one year to the next will be an indication to the financial analyst of the economic direction of the company.
