COMMON SIZED PERCENTAGES Definition
- COMMON SIZED PERCENTAGES
COMMON SIZED PERCENTAGES are financial statements in which each item is expressed as a percentage of a major financial statement component. In the Income Statement, each "Common Size %" is the field amount expressed as a percent of "Net Revenues."
