What was the ratio of revenue generated from the Produce department in 2017 to that in 2018?
Explanation:
Let the total cost of the store in 2016 be 100. From (1): Total revenue in 2016 = 2 × Total cost in 2016 = 2 × 100 = 200. From (2): Total revenue in 2017 = 2 × Total revenue in 2016 = 2 × 200 = 400. From (2): Total cost in 2018 = 2 × Total cost in 2016 = 2 × 100 = 200. So, we can find the department wise revenue in 2016 and 2017 and cost in 2016 and 2018 using the percentages found from the radar graph.
From (3): Cost from Electronics in 2017 = Revenue from Electronics in 2017 = 120. So total cost in 2017 = 120/40% = 300. And hence the department wise costs can be found for 2017. From (4): Revenue from Clothing department in 2018 = Cost for the Produce departement in 2018 = 100. So total revenue in 2018 = 100/40% = 250.
Revenue generated from the Produce department in 2017 to that in 2018 = 160 : 100 = 8 : 5.
Hence option (b).
