2. Which country met or exceeded its annual target for unit sales?

(a) Greece

(b) Portugal

(c) Austria

(d) Ireland
Answer: Tip: Notice that all the available answers have just one country, so we
know that as soon as we have found one country that exceeded its target, we
have the correct answer and we can move on.
Step 1 – Calculate the total unit sales for each country
Greece = 108,300
Portugal = 104,200
Austria = 105,800
Ireland = 102,400
Crotia = 105,200
Step 2 – Compare each total to the Yearly Target (Unit sales)
Targets are either 105,000 or 110,000.
Only Austria has exceeded its 105,000 target.
Thus the correct answer is (C), Austria

3. The previous year’s average number of Portuguese units sold per quarter was
20% higher than the year shown. What was the previous year’s average number
of Portuguese units sold per quarter?

(a) 104,200

(b) 31,260

(c) 26,050

(d) 21,260
Answer: Step 1 – calculate this year’s average number of Portuguese units sold
per quarter
(28,000 + 33,200 + 22,600 + 20,400) / 4 = 104,200 /4 = 26,050

Data Interpretation EBook
Step 2 – calculate a 20% increase to get last year’s average number of
Portuguese units sold per quarter
26,050 x 1.2 = 31,260
Thus the correct answer is (B), 31,260

4. If Austria’s annual corporation tax was 22% on the first €200,000 of sales and
20% on sales exceeding €200,000, how much tax is due for the year (assuming
each unit is sold at 3.5 Euros)?

(a) €34,000

(b) €34,060

(c) €37,060

(d) €78,060
Answer: Step 1 – Calculate the Total value of Austrian unit sales
Total Austrian unit sales = 105,800
Total value of Austrian unit sales = 105,800 x €3.5 = €370,300
Step 2 - Calculate the corporation tax for the first €200,000 of Austrian unit sales
€200,000 x 22% = €44,000
Step 3 - Calculate the tax for sales exceeding €200,000
€370,300 - €200,000 = €170,300
€170,300 x 20% = €34,060
Step 4 – calculate the total tax
€44,000 + €34,060
Thus the correct answer is (D), €78,060

5. Greek and Irish sales generated 2.5 Euros per unit sold, whilst the other
