Tool Kit for Analysis of Financial Statements
Financial statements are analyzed by calculating certain key ratios and then comparing them with the ratios of other firms and by examining the trends in ratios over time. We can also combine ratios to make the analysis more revealing, those indicated below are exceptionally useful for this type of analysis.

TREND ANALYSIS, COMMON SIZE ANALYSIS, AND PERCENT CHANGE ANALYSIS (Section 3.7)
TREND ANALYSIS
Trend analysis allows you to see how a firm's results are changing over time. For instance, a firm's ROE may be slightly below the benchmark, but if it has been steadily rising over the past four years, that should be seen as a good sign.
A trend analysis and graph have been constructed on this data regarding MicroDrive's ROE over the past 5 years. (MicroDrive and indusry average data for earlier years has been provided.)
		ROE

	2006	14.0%	13.2%
	2007	16.1%	15.0%
	2008	14.8%	16.0%
	2009	14.0%	16.2%
	2010	12.7%	15.0%
