Explanation:

1. When using Vertical Analysis, every item in the Income statement is depicted as a percentage of sales.

Sporting Goods Vertical Analysis

Net Sales = 1,800,00/1,800,000 = 100%

Cost of Goods Sold = 1,040,000/1,800,000 = 57.7%

Gross Profit = 760,000 /1,800,000 = 42.2%

Operating Expenses = 450,000 /1,800,000 = 25%

Operating Income = 310,000/1,800,000 = 17.2%

Other Income (Expense) =  20,000 /1,800,000 = 1.1%

Income before tax = 330,000 /1,800,000 = 18.3%

Income tax Expense = 80,000/1,800,000 = 4.4%

Net Income = 250,000/1,800,000 = 13.9%

Sports Apparel Vertical Analysis

Net Sales = 970,000/970,000 = 100%

Cost of Goods Sold = 440,000/970,000 = 45.4%

Gross Profit = 530,000/970,000 = 54.6%

Operating Expenses = 340,000/970,000 = 35.0%

Operating Income = 190,000/970,000 = 19.6%

Other Income (Expense) = 15,000/970,000 = 1.54%

Income before tax = 175,000/970,000 = 18.0%

Income tax Expense = 70,000/970,000 = 7.2%
