2017 2016 Net sales $ 407,400 $ 333,800 Cost of goods sold 187,900 132,7

Answer 1

19.8%; 16.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2016:

Common size percentages for operating expenses:

= (Operating expenses ÷ Net sales) × 100

= (65,960 ÷ $333,800) × 100

= 0.198 × 100

= 19.8%

In 2017:

Common size percentages for operating expenses:

= (Operating expenses ÷ Net sales) × 100

= ($68,440 ÷ $407,400) × 100

= 0.1680 × 100

= 16.8%
