Vertical analysis $($common$-$size$)$ percentages for Crane Company's net sales, cost of goods sold, and expenses are listed here.

$\backslash$table$[[$Vertical Analysis,$2027,+2026,2025],[$Net sales,$100\mathrm{.}0,\%,100\mathrm{.}0,\%,100\mathrm{.}0,\%],[$Cost of goods sold,$48\mathrm{.}3,,51\mathrm{.}9,,59\mathrm{.}0,],[$Expenses$,20\mathrm{.}4,,25\mathrm{.}1,,26\mathrm{.}0,]]$

Calculate the net income as a percent of net sales for each year. $($Round answers to $1$ decimal place, e$.$g$.12\mathrm{.}5\%.)$

Did Crane's net income as a percent of net sales increase, decrease, or remain unchanged over the $3-$year period?
