FAQs on Important Questions - Common Size Statements - Crash Course of Accountancy - Class 12 - Commerce

1. What are common size statements in commerce?
Common size statements in commerce are financial statements that present the financial data in a standardized format, expressing each line item as a percentage of a base figure. This allows for easy comparison and analysis of financial data across different periods or between different companies.
2. How are common size statements used in financial analysis?
Common size statements are used in financial analysis to identify trends, patterns, and relationships within the financial data. By expressing each line item as a percentage of a base figure, it becomes easier to compare the relative importance of different items and understand the composition of the financial statements.
3. What is the purpose of using common size statements in commerce?
The purpose of using common size statements in commerce is to facilitate financial analysis and comparison. By standardizing the format of financial statements, common size statements allow for easier identification of trends, patterns, and relationships. They also help in assessing the financial health and performance of a company by highlighting the relative importance of different items.
4. How are common size statements prepared?
Common size statements are prepared by expressing each line item in the financial statements as a percentage of a base figure. The base figure is usually a relevant total or subtotal. To prepare a common size income statement, for example, each line item such as revenue, cost of goods sold, and expenses is divided by the base figure, which is usually the total revenue. The resulting percentages are then presented in a column format for easy analysis.
5. What are the limitations of using common size statements in commerce?
While common size statements are useful in financial analysis, they have some limitations. Firstly, they may not provide a comprehensive view of a company's financial health as they focus on percentage analysis rather than absolute values. Additionally, they may not capture the full context or qualitative aspects of the financial data. Finally, common size statements rely on accurate and consistent categorization of line items, which may vary between companies.
