Inter-business Comparison
Akopọ
How do you know whether a 20% gross margin is good? One powerful answer is to look at a similar business. Inter-business comparison sets one firm's ratios beside another's, so strengths and weaknesses stand out that a single set of accounts could never reveal. If one shop earns a better return on its capital, or collects from customers faster, the comparison shows it plainly and points to where the other could improve.
In this lesson you will learn how to compare the ratios of two businesses and draw sensible conclusions about profitability, liquidity and efficiency. Just as importantly, you will learn why such comparisons must be handled with care: different accounting policies, different sizes, different year ends and missing non-financial information can all make a comparison misleading if you ignore them.
