Analyzing a Company's Turnover Graph

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson you will be able to describe a company's turnover graph in detail.

Introduce the learning objective to the students and explain why it is important to be able to interpret a company's turnover graph.

What do you already know about interpreting a company's turnover graph?

What is Turnover?

Turnover is the total revenue generated by a company over a specific period of time.

Explain to the students what turnover is and how it is calculated.

Types of Turnover Graphs

There are two main types of turnover graphs: line graphs and bar graphs.

Describe the two types of turnover graphs and provide examples of each.

Interpreting a Line Graph

A line graph shows the trend of a company's turnover over time. The x-axis represents time while the y-axis represents the amount of revenue generated.

Explain to the students how to read a line graph and what the x and y axes represent.

Interpreting a Bar Graph

A bar graph shows the comparison of a company's turnover between different periods of time. The x-axis represents the time periods while the y-axis represents the amount of revenue generated.

Explain to the students how to read a bar graph and what the x and y axes represent.

Example Company Turnover Graph

Here is an example of a line graph showing a company's turnover over the past year.

Present an actual graph of a company's turnover and allow the students to analyze it in detail.

Analyzing the Graph

What is the trend of the company's turnover over the past year? Are there any significant spikes or dips?

Encourage the students to analyze the graph and ask them questions to guide their thinking.

Conclusion

By interpreting a company's turnover graph, we can gain valuable insights into the financial health of the company.

Summarize the main points of the lesson and emphasize the importance of being able to interpret a company's turnover graph.
