Direction: The following graph gives Sales, Expense and Capital of a company for a period of five years –1994 to 1998. Read the graph and answer questions.

  1. What was the average per annual increase in sales (in $ Billion) from 1994 to 1998?
    1. 50
    2. 60
    3. 80
    4. 100
Correct Option: D

Average per annual increase in sales = Add the increased sales and subtract the decreased sales for 1994 to 1998
Total number of years

Average per annual increase in sales = (Increased sales between 94 - 95 ) - (decreased sales between 95 - 96 ) + (Increased sales between 96 - 97 ) + (Increased sales between 97 - 98 )
4

Average per annual increase in sales = ( 500 - 400 ) - ( 500 - 300) + ( 400 - 300 ) + ( 800 - 400 )
4

Average per annual increase in sales =100 - 200 + 100 + 400 = $ 100 Billion
