The trend-ratio method is useful because changes in items are clearly brought out. It is also much simpler arithmetically and lends itself to clearer interpretation than the alternative two-step method of calculating percentage changes from year to year.

La méthode ratio-tendance est très utile parce qu'elle fait ressortir clairement tout changement qui se produit dans les résultats qui font l'objet de notre examen. Du point de vue arithmétique, elle est plus simple et elle nous donne une interprétation plus claire que la méthode à deux temps qui consiste à calculer, en pourcentage, les changements qui se produisent d'année en année.
