【正确答案】Date: March 1, 2006
From: Susan Lee, Market Development Department
To: Board of Directors
Subject: Analytical Report on Profit & Expenditure of 2005
As requested, I have submitted this report about the profit and expenditure of our corporation in 2005.
Graph 1 reveals that our total profit of 2005 is US$200,000, which is US$50,000 higher than that of 2004. To expand business, our investment in establishing new enterprises was raised from US$80,000 in 2004 to US$140,000 in 2005. And the new circulating fund also increased from US$70,000 in 2004 to US$150,000 in 2005.
Graph 2 indicates a 20% increase in the profit by absorbing foreign investment because of greater efforts in this area and a 5% decrease in the profit of domestic trade enterprises due to the nationwide depression.
There are marked changes in the expenditure of 2005. The profit retained was 10% lower than that of the previous year because more money went to establishing new enterprises and new circulating fund sectors.
