Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2017 Net Sales $340 Cost of Goods Sold 224 Gross Profit 116 Operating Expenses 65 Net Income $ 51 Using vertical analysis, what percentage is assigned to net income?

Answer 1

15 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For the Year Ended December 31, 2017

Net Sales = $340

Cost of Goods Sold = $224

Operating Expenses = $65

Net Income = $51

Under vertical analysis, all the items are represented as a percentage of net sales.

Therefore, the percentage assigned to net income is determined as follows:

= (Net Income ÷ Net sales) × 100

= ($51 ÷ $340) × 100

= 0.15 × 100

= 15%
