Solution

To calculate the percentage change in Accounts Receivable using horizontal analysis, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Find the difference in Accounts Receivable between Year 2 and Year 1. This is done by subtracting the Year 2 value from the Year 1 value.

    So, 460,000(Year1)460,000 (Year 1) - 400,000 (Year 2) = $60,000

  2. Next, divide this difference by the Year 1 value, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage change.

    So, (60,000/60,000 / 460,000) * 100 = 13.04%

Therefore, the percentage applicable to Accounts Receivable using horizontal analysis is 13.0%.
