Answer:
(B) Operating income has increased as a percentage of revenue
Explanation:
Conducting a vertical analysis,
Operating income (year 1) = Fees earned, less operating expenses
= 149,700 - 127,245 = $22,455
Therefore operating income as a percentage of revenue = 22,455/149,700 = 15%.
Operating income (year 2) = 153,500 - 122,800 = $30,700
Therefore operating income as a percentage of revenue = 30,700/153,500 = 20%.
Therefore, operating income as a percentage of revenue increased from year 1 to year 2.
