Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To find the percentage assigned to Net Income using vertical analysis, we divide Net Income by Total Revenue and then multiply by 100. Net Income is $20,000,000 and Total Revenue is $80,000,000 (both in millions). Therefore, (20,000,000 / 80,000,000) x 100 = 25%. Thus, the correct answer is C.
