b) The computation of Simon's common size balance sheet enables the comparison and analysis of the relative percentage of each asset, liability, and equity account. The computation takes a line item and divides it by the value of total assets or total liabilities and equity, as the case may be. Â The resulting decimal value is multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage.
