I’m a bit confused; I thought ratio analysis was used for comparing financial ratios, not percentage changes year over year.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think vertical analysis is more about comparing items in a single period, right?

I think the answer might be horizontal analysis since it deals with changes over time, but I'm not completely sure.

Whoa, this is a tough one. I'm a bit confused by all the different scenarios and configurations mentioned. I'll need to take my time and really think through each option to make sure I understand what's being asked.
