    Common size percentage of equity = 66.867%≈ 66.87%

    Explanation:

    Common size percentage is used to analyse balance sheet and income statements. It is calculated by dividing the parameter we are interested in by a base amount. For balance sheet the base amount is total asset.

    In this case we are calculating common size percentage of equity.

    Common size percentage of equity = Equity/Total Asset

    Total asset = Cash + Inventory + Fixed assets + Accounts recievable

    Total asset = 1,250 + 46,500 + 318,650 + 16,600

    Total asset = $383,000

    Total liabilities = long term debt + accounts payable

    Total liabilities = 109,500 + 17,400

    Total liabilities = $126,900

    Using the accounting equation

    Asset = Liabilities + Equity

    Equity = Asset - Liabilities

    Equity = 383,000 - 126,900 = $256,100

    Therefore

    Common size percentage of equity = Equity/Total Asset

    CSPE = 256,100/383,000 = 0.66867

    CSPE = 66.867%
