Thank you! Accounting is new to me and I have a terrible professor, great video! The examples made it so easy to understand in a real world setting.

Thanks a lot, really made it easier to understand

so helpful and easy to understand how this method or tool is used in accounting to be able to understand the differences of why the percentage expression is used in the financial statements to analyze data information and avoid fluctuation in larger companies.

A very good example of the bigger crab house having control issues that were red flagged by abnormal COGS ratio in vertical analysis.

I got your answer and also following your website now I have one more question. Why Income statement don’t tell whole story ?

I have a question. The example at the end, you related the increase in the COGS to factors that were related to stealing or giving away the drinks without charging, both scenarios were related to unethical behavior. Are there additional options that can increase COGS percentage that can relate to other things besides these types of behavior, such as too high of supplier costs, or something similar. If you can give a very brief example, that would be wonderful.

Thank you

Thank you!!!! :) Now that you mentioned it, yes we do work our asses off :D worth it tho! thank you again.

Thanks mate

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN ANSWER THIS FOR ME. IM LOOKING AT A BALANCE SHEET WITH NO TOTAL ASSETS ON IT. IT ONLY HAS CURRENT ASSETS. IT ALSO HAS LONG TERM LIABILITIES AS WELL AS CURRENT. WHEN DOING THE EQUITY + LIABILITIES FORMULA, DO I ADD THE LONG-TERM LIABILITIES, CURRENT LIABILITIES, OR BOTH TO EQUITY? THANKS!

Thank u sir

The reasoning you provided for why CoGs was greater in Crab House 2, is only valid for a periodic inventory system, is it not? A perpetual inventory system would allow for the detection of those issues, and it would NOT be included as part of CoGs.

So human capital was a measurable factor.

Can net sales be a base?

WOW !

If you are to do this for lets say 10 years. You no longer have just 2 years to compare. Do you always compare with prior year or do you compare with the year you first made the comparison with. So lets say you start making comparisons in 2000. Is every year compared with 2000 or do you always compare with the year prior?

huge vid

This is something I never understood in class. What is the use of this?

It's probably the girl who was stealing...

Thank you!!

Thank you!!!!!
