You need to divide this graph into two time periods, historical and projected. The verbs used in each period are different because one is actual measured data, and the other is an estimate.

You need to read the units of measure on the Y-axis carefully.

Please read my advice for Task 1 essays. Also, when you mention data values, be sure to write the correct numbers.

Here are some observations for you to consider regarding this exercise.

The youngest company, Farm Implements Ltd. has increased in value steadily from its start in 1980 to 2000. It was a very high-growth company, increasing by a factor of six between 1980 and 2000, at a rate of about 100 thousand per year. It is projected to continue to increase, but at a slower rate, during the forecast period.

Carsons, Ltd. had the smallest value in every period, growing linearly from 500 thousand dollars in 1960 to a million dollars in 2000. The slow growth is predicted to continue up to 2012.

In 1990, Greanacres Ltd. reached a peak value of nearly 4 and a quarter million dollars, but declined precipitously to about one and three-quarter millions five years later. It is predicted to return to its former maximum valuation in 2012.
