Eva Martin · Answer 1

The answer is E. 12.22 percent.

Explanation:

The calculation for common-size percentage is: (Amount / Base amount) x 100.

On the balance sheet or financial position the base is total assets and on the income statement the base is net sales.

The common-size statement value of inventory will be:

Value of inventory/total assets.

Total assets = $2,600 + $920

=$3,520

Value of inventory = $430

Therefore, we have:

($430/$3,520) x 100

12.22percent.
