Compute and select the correct common-size percent for each account title.Total Assets is $700,000 Accounts Payable is $75,000 Bonds Payable is $225,000 Common Stock is $300,000 Retained Earnings is $100,000

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation for each corrected common-size percent for each account is shown below:

Particulars             Amount                  Percentage

Total assets           $700,000                    100%

Accounts payable $75,000                      10.71%

                                                       ($75,000 ÷ $700,000)

Bonds payable      $225,000             32.14%

                                                       ($225,000 ÷ $700,000)

Common stock      $300,000            42.86%

                                                         ($300,000 ÷ $700,000)

Retained earnings $100,000             14.29%

                                                  ($100,000 ÷  $700,000)

Therefore each one of assetm liabilities and stockholder equity is presented as a percentage of total assets and the same is to be considered
