    The correct answer here would be option C) 16.5%.

    Explanation:

    For taking out the common size amount for gross accounts, formula is -

    Gross account receivables / Total assets

    Gross account receivables = net account receivables - allowance for doubt

    full debts

    = $486.6 + $7.2

    = $493.8

    Given -

    Gross account receivables = $493.8

    Total assets = $2984.1

    Putting these values in the formula -

    $493.8 / $2984.1

    = 16.5%
