Effective Presentation

For each of the following points, prepare both a paragraph of commentary and an appropriate chart to support it. •Find the last 4 years’ sales and profit or net income data for a major retail corporation. •Calculate profit as a percentage of sales; be careful to place the decimal point correctly. •Prepare a paragraph of explanation/interpretation of the data as if this were a small part of a lengthy report to potential investors. •Prepare a chart to display all the information in a meaningful way. Suggestions for Responding to Peer Posts Review your peer’s chart and commentary, and consider the following questions: •Is their commentary sufficient support for the chart and enough information to supply potential investors with? •Is the chart understandable or confusing? •What do you think about the chart design? •Was the sales, net income, and percentage of sales calculated correctly? If not, explain what went wrong and provide the correct calculations.
