The bar chart illustrates how the sales of five different kinds of goods varied seasonally at a department store in the USA in the year 2011. Overall, in the first three seasons of the year, every surveyed category recorded an upward trend, after which all of them showed a remarkable decline in every given item in winter. Additionally, clothes for females were consistently the most predominant shopping option in all seasons.
Regarding the types of items that witnessed a significant increase, in the first season of the year, the amount of income generated from women’s clothing was precisely $60,000, while the figure for jewelry was nearly $20,000. The sales of female clothes then experienced a notable rise in autumn, reaching a peak of $110,000, whereas jewelry’s revenue also significantly increased to about $50,000 in the same season. However, the sales data for both women’s clothing and jewelry demonstrated a noticeable decrease in the last season of the year to $40,000 and approximately $20,000, respectively.
Concerning the remaining kinds of items, sport equipment recorded sales of $40,000 in spring, whereas cosmetics generated $20,000. In autumn, the corresponding figures for the former and the latter modestly rose to $40,000 and roughly $45,000, before substantially receding by about $10,000 and around $15,000 in winter. Meanwhile, men’s clothing made a mere $20,000 in spring, which then rose to approximately $30,000 in winter, albeit with some fluctuations.
