Expenditure Percentage Increase Analysis (2010-2011)
The objective is to identify two expenditure categories that show the same percentage increase between 2010 and 2011 using the provided firm expenditure data.
Calculating Percentage Growth
The percentage increase for each category is calculated using the formula:
$ \text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{(\text{Expenditure}_{2011} - \text{Expenditure}_{2010})}{\text{Expenditure}_{2010}} \times 100\% $
Percentage Increase per Category
Calculations are performed for the relevant categories:
- Raw material: $ \frac{(6240 - 5200)}{5200} \times 100\% = \frac{1040}{5200} \times 100\% = 20\% $
- Salary & wages: $ \frac{(12600 - 9000)}{9000} \times 100\% = \frac{3600}{9000} \times 100\% = 40\% $
- Power & fuel: $ \frac{(9450 - 7000)}{7000} \times 100\% = \frac{2450}{7000} \times 100\% = 35\% $
- Advertising: $ \frac{(19500 - 15000)}{15000} \times 100\% = \frac{4500}{15000} \times 100\% = 30\% $
- Research & Development: $ \frac{(26400 - 22000)}{22000} \times 100\% = \frac{4400}{22000} \times 100\% = 20\% $
Identifying Matching Percentages
Comparing the calculated percentage increases:
- Raw material: 20%
- Research & Development: 20%
The categories 'Raw material' and 'Research & Development' both show an identical percentage increase of 20%.
