Which garden furniture manufacturer has 22.5% of the UK market in terms of 2010 annual sales?

        A.  Manufacturer A

        B.  Manufacturer B

        C.  Manufacturer C

        D.  Manufacturer D

        E.  Manufacturer E

Answer: D

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in the pie-chart. Step 1 – Calculate the total annual sales for all furniture manufacturers 1.2 + 3.3 + 2.4 + 2.7 + 2.4 = £12 million Step 2 – Next, the quickest way to complete this question is to calculate 22.5% of the 12 million and see which manufacturer has this sales value. So 22.5% of 12 is 2.7. We immediately see that Manufacturer D has sales of 2.7 (ignoring any units). Alternatively, the slower way would be to calculate the % of the UK market held by each furniture manufacturer: Manufacturer A = 1.2/12 x 100% = 10% Manufacturer B = 3.3/12 x 100% = 27.5% Manufacturer C = 2.4/12 x 100% = 20% Manufacturer D = 2.7/12 x 100% = 22.5% Manufacturer E = 2.4/12 x 100% = 20% Thus the correct answer is (D), Manufacturer D

Manufacturers B and D each aim to increase their annual sales from 2010 to 2011 by a quarter. Manufacturers A, C and E each aim to grow their annual sales by a fifth. Assuming all companies meet these targets, what will be 2011’s total furniture manufacturer sales (to the nearest £million)?

        A.  £13 million

        B.  £14 million

        C.  £15 million

        D.  £16 million

        E.  £17 million

Answer: C

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in the pie-chart. Step 1 - Calculate the 2011 targets for each garden furniture manufacturer Manufacturer A: 1.2 x 1.2 = 1.44 Manufacturer B: 3.3 x 1.25 = 4.125 Manufacturer C: 2.4 x 1.2 = 2.88 Manufacturer D: 2.7 x 1.25 = 3.375 Manufacturer E: 2.4 x 1.2 = 2.88 Step 2 – Calculate the total 2011 target for all garden furniture manufacturers 1.44 + 4.125 + 2.88 + 3.375 + 2.88 = 14.7 Step 3 – to the nearest £million = £15 million Note: in this question we were lucky that £14.7 million was not an available answer. Sometimes questions deliberately include the answer not rounded as required, to catch you out. Thus the correct answer is (C), £15 million

What is the percentage increase in Company C’s total sales for 2010 compared its 2009 total sales?

        A.  0.83%

        B.  0.84%

        C.  0.85%

        D.  0.86%

        E.  0.87%

Answer: B

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in the table. Step 1 – calculate 2009’s total sales 312,500 + 396,700 + 546,300 + 595,500 + 529,000 = 2,380,000 Step 2 – calculate 2010’s total sales 278,500 + 470,400 + 502,000 + 643,100 + 506,000 = 2,400,000 Step 3 – calculate the % difference 2,400,000 / 2,380,000 = 1.0084 which is a 0.84% increase. Thus the correct answer is (B), 0.84%
