QUESTION 1 – WRITING

THE FORMULA:

KF – KEY FEATURES, T – TREND, D – DATA

1. ANALYSIS = KF + T + D
E.g The sales of Iphone 5 increased from 500,000 units in 2013 to 800,000 units in 2014.

2. ANALYSIS = KF + D + T
E.g In 2004, car ownership in Malaysia was 7 million, declined slightly to 6 million in 2005.

3. ANALYSIS = KF + T + D + T + D
E.g Music Network had the most number of visits at 40,000 in week 1 but declined to 25,000 in
week 2.

4. ANALYSIS = (SUPERLATIVE) T + KF + D
Eg The highest number of sales was recorded by Ken Burger in 2009 at RM50,000.
E.g The highest number of sales by Fizzah Hut was recorded in 2014 at RM500,000.

5. ANALYSIS = KF + (SUPERLATIVE) T + D
E.g In 2001-2010 period, the number of girls and boys visiting the dentist was the highest at
75,000 and 60, 000 respectively.

6. Trend “was the same” – KF + T + D

E.g The number of tiger population in India and Indonesia was the same in 2005 and 2007 at
150 tigers.

7. Trend “remained unchanged/constant” – KF + T + D

E.g The number of Metro Transit commuters was 2 million in 2013, remained constant in 2014

and 2015.
