• 2. Vertical analysis of balance-sheet and income statement. Students will try this on a model example. They will try it with their own data: Vertical analysis of balance-sheet (base, time perspective) - Vertical analysis of income statement (base, time perspective) – strengths and weaknesses of both analyses – analysis of cause and effect.
• 3. Horizontal analysis of balance-sheet and income statement. Students will try this on a model example. They will try it with their own data: Horizontal analysis of balance-sheet (base, time perspective) – Horizontal analysis of income statement (base, time perspective) – strengths and weaknesses of both analyses – analysis of cause and effect.
• 4. Ratio indicators (profitability, cash-flow, liquidity). Students will try this on a model example. They will try it with their own data: - construction of indicators of profitability, cash-flow and liquidity – possible alternative of other constructions, relationships and predictability of indicators. Strengths and weaknesses of indicators - analysis of cause and effect.
• 5. Ratio indicators (activity, indebtedness and capital market). Students will try this on a model example. They will try it with their own data: - construction of indicators of activity, indebtedness and capital market – possible alternative of other constructions, relationships and predictability of indicators.
