A new tool for the financial analyst

Article Abstract:

Planalyst is a computer program package that can create 20 standard reports featuring ratios for previous or projected financial analysis. The package involves two files and five programs (INPUT, RUN, PRINT, LIST, and EDIT) and is ready for immediate use. The values on the printed reports and the viewfile can be easily varied by modifying the data file and rerunning the program. The user first enters the control information, followed by entries of scale and data. There are approximately eight pages of overview and starting instructions, followed by demonstration exercises. The ability of the package to generate ratios makes it of special value to accountants, business teachers, and other financial analysts who are experienced in modeling and analyzing.
