1. Present the data in a well-organized and well-labeled statistical table. The following data
appeared in the Asian Computer Yearbook 1979-1980, published by the Computer
Publication Ltd. Computer growth during 1978 and 1979 in the ASEAN countries, namely,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, was shown in terms of the growth
of the following: installations; computer manufacturers and agents; consultants
programing services, and software houses; and service bureaus. Among the five countries,
the Philippines had the most number of installations, having 196 in 1978 and increasing to
286 in 1979. Indonesia had 15 in 1978 and 102 in 1979; Malaysia with 70 and 175; Singapore
with 98 and 228; Thailand with 75 and 112; totaling to 454 units in 1978 and remarkably
increasing to 903 units in 1979. Installations here referred to an in- house installation which
could comprise one or more computers. It did not necessarily indicate a single computer.
The increase in the number of computers was primarily accounted for by new installations.
However, in some countries such as Indonesia, the recorded increase in the number of
installations as well as of companies in the computer business was also a function of the
addition of entries which were not recorded in the previous year. Regarding computer
manufacturers and agents, Singapore exhibited the most distinctive increase from 8 in 1978
to 23 in 1979. Indonesia had 6 in 1978 and 13 in 1979; Malaysia with 9 and 12; Philippines
with 13 and 19; Thailand with 7 and 14; summing up to a total of 43 computer manufacturers
and agents in 1978 and 81 in 1979. Then, consultants, programing services and software
houses quadrupled during the 2-year period, that is from 8 in 1978 to 32 in 1979. For this
case, Indonesia had 1 in 1978 and 8 in 1979; for Malaysia the number in 1978 could not be
determined since no survey forms were returned but there were 4 in 1979; Philippines had 3
and 7; Singapore had 2 and 10, and Thailand had 2 and 3. Lastly, the Philippines again had
the most number of service bureaus, 4 in 1978 and 19 in 1979. Indonesia and Malaysia had
1 and 5 each; Singapore with 3 and 5; Thailand with 2 and 3; totaling to all service bureaus in
1978 and 37 in 1979.
2. Portray the trend of “XXX” short-term debt since 2007 in the form of a graph. You may
select the appropriate graph. The short-term debt of the XXX corporation for the year 2007-
2018, in millions of pesos, is:
Year Short-term debt (P millions) Year Short-term debt (P millions)
2007 124 2013 126
2008 2025 2014 59
2009 1841 2015 1706
2010 619 2016 2888
2011 915 2017 3456
2012 469 2018 3500
3. The line graph shows the sales of XXX Corporation from 2007 to 2018. This shows the
constant growth of the company's sales every year. The most important are the data from
2009 and 2015. In 2008, the increase was significant, from approximately 5 billion to 7
billion. Although very little growth has been observed over the next five years, it is still on an
upward trend. 2015 will see another significant increase from £10bn to around £12bn. Since
then, the company's sales have been successful in every subsequent year since 2015, with
significant growth every year.
4. The line chart shows the high and low-price trends of XXX Oyj common stock from 2007
to 2018. As for the high price of the common stock, it remained stable around 40 until 2010,
when the price increased tremendously, and next year. After 2012, the year-to-year change
in the stock's high price became erratic as it rose, fell, and then rose again. Compared to the
low prices of ordinary shares, which, although gradually falling during the first three years,
began to make small, but constant increases in the price level every year. In particular, 2014
saw a huge price increase, which meant that shareholders began to prefer low-priced stocks
to higher-priced stocks because of this steady growth. After 2014, there were no significant
changes in the low price of general goods, up or down, and its price remained between 60-
70. Another factor worth noting is that in 2016, more shareholders started to buy more
expensive common shares, because more profit can be risked by buying this type of shares.
