SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie charts show the market share of washing machines made by four companies over the period 1990 to 2000 and the results of a survey on whether customers would consider buying the new Dyton washing machine over the same period.
During the first year of sales of the new Dyton machine in 1990, its market share stood at 2 percent as opposed to 60 percent for the MMC product, 20 for the Corr washing machine and 18 for that of Obecalp. In 1995, however, MMC Ltd lost ground to its three other competitors. While Corr Ltd and Obecalp Ltd both increased their market share to by one percentage point each in 1995, Dyton Ltd captured 8% of the market. In 2000, Dayton’s market share had increased to 32% at the expense of its three main competitors with MMC Ltd, Obecalp Ltd and Corr Ltd falling to 39 percent, 17 percent and 12 percent respectively.
The bar chart shows the Dyton machine exceeded its popularity rating in each year, rising from 5 in 1995 to 40 percent in the year 2000.
It is clear that the sales of the Dyton washing machine were on the increase over the period.
