Put the regions in increasing order of total combined sales for the current year and next year’s projection
Correct answer: A
Explanation Northern Current year= 310, Next Year= 320, Total = 630 Southern Current year = 160, Next Year= 165, Total = 325 Eastern Current year =300, Next Year = 275, Total = 575 Western Current year = 280, Next Year= 270, Total = 550 Central Current year = 90, Next Year= 125, Total 215 Hence the correct answer is Central, Southern, Western, Eastern, Northern
What were the ratios for the Central: Eastern regional sales for the Previous Year compared to the Current Year?
Explanation Putting the Previous Year’s sales for these regions into a ratio = 110:290 The Current Year’s sales for these regions into a ratio = 90:300 Simplifying these ratios by dividing by the highest common denominator 11:29 for Previous Year (after division by 10) 3:10 for Current Year (after division by 30) So the correct answer is 11:29 (Previous Year); 3:10 (Current Year)
If next year’s forecasts are scaled back by a quarter for the Northern and Western region, and by a fifth for the Southern and Eastern regions, what will be the total projected sales for all 5 regions?
Correct answer: C
Explanation Northern Region new projection = 320 x 3/4 = 240m Southern New projection = 165 x 4/5 = 132m Eastern New projection = 275 x 4/5 = 220m Western New projection = 270 x 3/4 =202.5m Central = 125m Summing the new projected sales = £919.5m
What is the absolute difference between the lowest and the highest performing region (to the nearest £million) in the current year?
Correct answer: E
Explanation The difference between the highest regional sales (Northern) and the lowest regional sales (Central) = 310 - 90 = £220 million
