organization in the external environment. The liquidity ratio explains the efficiency of the

The current asset ratio of the BlueScope organization elaborates that the liquidity aspects of the

fluctuating between 1.4 to 1.7. This ratio of the company was minimum in the year 2016 while in

Further, profitability ratio in the business environment explains the company’s performance in
the external environment. This ratio is most important ratio for the people who wish to invest in
the company as it explains the profitability of the company. This ratio helps in analysing the
capability of the business to produce earnings over time. Through the graph, it can be clearly
seen that the net profit ratio of the company is continuously exceeding in the market
(MorningStar 2019). The company suffered loss in the year 2014 that was converted into profits
in the succeeding year itself. Higher the net profit ratio, higher the profitability of the company
(Ready Ratios 2019).

Thus, the ratio of the company in previous financial year was 13.65 that showed excellent
progress of the business in the industrial setting. Further, asset turnover ratio of the firm
elaborates that how effective are the assets of the business in generating sales in the business
environment and eventually converting it into profits (Hoyle, Schaefer, and Doupnik 2015).
More assets with the organization shows better sales and increment in the profitability as well.
Through the graph, it can be clearly seen that the return of assets ratio of the company is not
efficient as it is not stable nor it is growing in the environment. In the year 2014, the company
began from 1.06 and then ended at 1.05 in year 2018. This ratio was maximum in the year 2017.
Return on asset ratio that is generally above 5% is considered good for the company however;
ROA of BlueScope organization is not efficient in the external business environment
(Henderson, et. al., 2015).
Valuation of Trend Analysis
Horizontal Analysis
The horizontal trend analysis helps in elaborating the relative changes happened in the company
overtime. This type of analysis elaborates the behaviour of the revenue, expenses and change in
other items of the financial statement overtime. Horizontal trend analysis of company BlueScope
Ltd. has been calculated considering balance sheet and income statement of the business. The
analysis of income statement of the company shows a steady growth in the initial that fell back
again in the year 2018. Through this analysis, it can be seen that 2017 was an average profitable
year where company stabilized its growth among all the other years evaluated (Christensen,
Nikolaev, and Wittenberg‐Moerman 2016).
Then after 2017, the sales of the company subsequently fell, however, the comparative profit
margin of the company rose due to less cost of goods and other expenditures as well. The
analysis shows negative percentage in the restructuring, merger and acquisition as there were no
expenses in the year 2015 that further exceeded to 55 in the year 2016 and then again fell down
in 2018. Further, the horizontal balance sheet of the company elaborates that there has a
subsequent increase in the total assets of the corporation in the year 2018. The stockholder’s
equity also rose in the previous year by 10% as compared to 2017 (Robinson, et. al., 2015).

Vertical trend analysis of the company refers to the trend analysis under which the each item of
the statement is listed against the proportionate amount of one single item say revenue. Under
this type of analysis, all the items are compared with one standard head (Accounting Tools
2019). In case of income statement, the revenue of the company is considered as the standard
head while in balance sheet evaluation, total assets and total liabilities are considered as the
standard head for the calculation of trend analysis of the company. This analysis see the relative
change in the accounts overtime against the standard head of the business (Kim, et. al., 2016).
The vertical trend analysis of income statement of BlueScope elaborated that the gross profit of
the company depleted against the revenue in the year 2018 as in 2015, the GP was maximum that
is 45% of revenue. However, net income of the company in the year 2018 was adequate at the
rate of 14% while it was less in the previous years. Thus, it can be said that the company had
reduced sales in the year 2018 but increased profit. As the year 2016 was the year when the
company suffered losses in the business environment due to which trend analysis show negative
balance for the same. Thus, it should be noted that the year 2014 was a loss year for company
and they subsequently aimed to manage its growth in the year 2015 itself. Also, the year 2018
had been a profitable year for the company where the managed to earn optimum profits in the
corporate atmosphere (Chen, et. al., 2018).
