 Table A
 Table B
Performance measures are as follows:
Half Yearly Sales Performance:
$$\frac{\text{Oct 14 to Mar 15 Average Sales - April 14 to Sep 14 Average Sales}}{\text{April 14 to Sep 14 Average Sales}}$$
Monthly Sales Performance:Â
$$\frac{\text{Current Month Sales - Pervious Month Sales}}{\text{Previous Month Sales}}$$
Sales Volatility:
$$\frac{\text{Maximum Monthly Sales - Minimum Monthly Sales}}{\text{Average Monthly Sales}}$$
In which of the months given below, the total WAC Monthly Sales Performance was the highest?
Let's calculate the different WAC types during April 2014 - March 2015 and tabulate it as followsÂ
Monthly Sales Performance in May 2014 =(1268-1266)/1266 = 0.00128
Monthly Sales Performance in June 2014=(1272-1268)/1268 = 0.0032
Monthly Sales Performance in October 2014 =(1298-1296)/1296Â = 0.00154
Monthly Sales Performance in February 2015 =(1340-1330)/1330 = 0.0075
So the Monthly Sales Performance in February 2015 is the highest.Â
Hence D is the correct answer.
