The line graph illustrates the changing pattern of revenues of Calgary-based bakeries from 2000 to 2010. The differences were indicated by thousands of dollars per year. Overall, it is evident from the graph that all bakeries experienced corresponding fall and rise over the time frame.
At the beginning of the period, in 2000, Mari bakeshop revenue far exceeded those of other two bakeries, at approximately 81,000 dollars, then declining in the following three years. With the exception of a slight rise at around 85,000 dollars in 2004, the trend sharply dropped in the next five years, before ending at a low 40,000 dollars at the end of the period.
The pattern for Amandine bakery was opposite to Mari bakeshop. It remained a moderate revenue of just under 60,000 dollars over the next five years, then increasing significantly in the following the five years only to finish at just over 10,000 dollars in 2010, accounting for the highest earnings compared to other two bakeries.
Bolo cakery, which accounted for the lowest-earning bakery, stood at a low 20,000 dollars in 2000. However, there was an upward trend in the next three years, then stabilizing at just under 40,000 dollars in the following three years, before rising slightly to finish at just over 60,000 dollars at the final year.
It can be understood that the changing rate of revenue was dramatic, with Mari bakeshop initially accounting for the highest-earning bakery, then dropping to the least-earning bakery eventually, whereas Bolo cakery significantly managed to reach an increase over the period, and Amandine bakery interestingly marked the highest-earning rate in the final year despite the stagnant progress.
