The chart below shows the changes of costs and sales figures of a company. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
The two line graphs illustrate the trend in expenditure and revenue of the company between 1991 and 1999.
It is clear that both the sales and costs increased over the period shown. However, the figure for sales was considerably higher than costs.
In 1991, 15 million dollars was recorded as sales, slightly more than the costs, while the company spent about 13 million dollars for its expenses. As the trend of graphs was reversed, the company saw a deficit as much as 2 million dollars in 1993.
