To complete a vertical analysis on the balance sheet, we need to express each item as a percentage of the total assets or total liabilities and owner's equity.

First, let's calculate the total assets:
Total Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Merchandise Inventory + Equipment
Total Assets = $20,000 + $48,000 + $89,000 + $82,000
Total Assets = $239,000

Next, let's calculate the total liabilities and owner's equity:
Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity = Liabilities + Owner's Capital
Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity = Accounts Payable + Wages Payable + Mortgage Note Payable + Owner's Capital
Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity = $13,000 + $16,000 + $77,000 + $133,000
Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity = $239,000

Now, let's express each item as a percentage of the total assets:

Cash: (Cash / Total Assets) * 100%
Cash: ($20,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 8.4%

Accounts Receivable: (Accounts Receivable / Total Assets) * 100%
Accounts Receivable: ($48,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 20.1%

Merchandise Inventory: (Merchandise Inventory / Total Assets) * 100%
Merchandise Inventory: ($89,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 37.2%

Equipment: (Equipment / Total Assets) * 100%
Equipment: ($82,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 34.3%

Now, let's express each liability as a percentage of the total liabilities and owner's equity:

Accounts Payable: (Accounts Payable / Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity) * 100%
Accounts Payable: ($13,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 5.4%

Wages Payable: (Wages Payable / Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity) * 100%
Wages Payable: ($16,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 6.7%

Mortgage Note Payable: (Mortgage Note Payable / Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity) * 100%
Mortgage Note Payable: ($77,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 32.2%

Lastly, let's express the owner's capital as a percentage of the total liabilities and owner's equity:

Owner's Capital: (Owner's Capital / Total Liabilities and Owner's Equity) * 100%
Owner's Capital: ($133,000 / $239,000) * 100% ≈ 55.6%

Therefore, the vertical analysis of Jake's Janitorial Service's balance sheet for December 31 of last year would look as follows:

Assets:
- Cash: 8.4%
- Accounts Receivable: 20.1%
- Merchandise Inventory: 37.2%
- Equipment: 34.3%

Liabilities:
- Accounts Payable: 5.4%
- Wages Payable: 6.7%
- Mortgage Note Payable: 32.2%

Owner's Equity: 55.6%
