21.45%

Explanation:

The computation of the research and development expense is shown below:

= Research and development : Revenues * 100

= $12,740 : $59,387 * 100

= 21.45%

In a common size income statement, each item is proportionate to the sales value that means the numerator will be the item and the denominator would be sales revenue.
