In the chart below, to the right of the column of numbers are three columns with blocks to fill in.

Perform a horizontal analysis and put the correct answer in the appropriate blocks for only these account line items:

Cash, A/R, Accounts Payable, Other Liabilities, Sales, and Selling & Admin Exp.

When necessary round to the nearest tenth. You must use parentheses to mark a negative change. For example: a negative change from 2021 to 2022 of $30,000 would be written ($30,000)

Make sure to answer the last column - whether the change is deemed as a positive or negative based on the line item in the financial statements (for example is an increase in expenses a positive or negative variance?) You must put in the answer box, the word "positive" or "negative" . Base your answer strictly on the results of the horizontal analysis for that line item.
