7)

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

8)

What were the ratios for the Central: Eastern regional sales for the Previous Year compared to
the Current Year?

 


Correct answer: D

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)

9)

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 t  e new projected sales
= £919.5m

10)

The difference between the highest regional sales (Northern) and the lowest regional sales 
(Central)
= 310 - 90 = £220 million
