Accounts payable           $ 141,262      24    $ 85,208    17     $ 56,010    13

Long-term notes payable 108,855      19        118,283    23       91,936    22 Common stock,

        $10 par value           163,500      28       163,500   32     163,500    39 Retained earnings             171,246      29        137,201   27      104,554    25

Total liabilities & equity$ 584,863    100    $ 504,192  100 $ 416,000   100

2. Assuming annual sales have not changed in the last three years, the change in accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets is favorable.  It is always better to maintain low accounts receivable, thereby reducing credit risk exposures.

3. Assuming annual sales have not changed in the last three years, the change in merchandise inventory as a percentage of total assets is favorable.  Less inventory means that working capital is not being tied down to inventory.

Explanation:

Common-size percentages are used in analyzing the balance sheet.   The calculations set each line item as a percent of the total assets.
