Question: I am trying to do the horizontal analysis and vertical analysis for my homework in regards to balance sheet and income statement from Home Depot.

I am trying to do the horizontal analysis and vertical analysis for my homework in regards to balance sheet and income statement from Home Depot. When I calculate the formulas for them, it is saying that the answer is wrong. I seriously need some help to understand what I am doing wrong. I have tried doing the liquidity ratios and somehow I am still getting the wrong answers but I am having serious trouble understanding.
