Accounts payable would be 20.42% of the balance sheet , when preparing a vertical analysis.

Explanation:

In the question it is told that Ginger bread is doing a vertical analysis, where when we have to calculate the percentage of certain item of the balance sheet , we will use formula -

 ( Balance sheet item / Total liability ) x 100

Given information - Accounts payable = $245,000

                                Total liabilities = $1200,000

Putting these values in formula -

= $245,000 / $1200,000   X 100

= .20416 X 100

= 20.416

= 20.42% ( APPROXIMATELY )
