Revenue Sources and Expenditures of a USA Charity in
one year.

Model Answer
The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures over a year of a childrens
charity in the USA. Overall, it can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority
of the income, while program services accounted for the most expenditure. Total
revenue sources just exceeded outgoings.
In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly,
with regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all of
the outgoings, at 95.8%.
The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which were the
second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was
followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and
other income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.
There were only two other expenditure items, fundraising and management and
general, accounting for 2.6% and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was
$53,561,580, which was just enough to cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.

percentage of carbohydrates but the highest proportion of protein.

Carbohydrates make up 60% of the healthy diet for sport. This is 10% higher than the proportion
of carbohydrates in a normal healthy diet, and 20% more than the proportion in an average diet.
On the other hand, people who eat an average diet consume a greater relative amount of protein
(40%) than those who eat a healthy diet (30%) and sportspeople (25%).

The third compound shown in the charts is fat. Fat constitutes exactly one fifth of both the
average diet and the healthy diet, but the figure drops to only 15% for the healthy sports diet.

The pie charts compare the proportions of people falling into three distinct age groups in
Yemen and Italy in two different years.
It is clear that Italy had the older population in the year 2000, and the same is predicted
for the year 2050. The populations of both countries are expected to age over the fifty-
year period.
In the year 2000, just over half of the population of Yemen was aged 14 or under, while
most Italians (61.6%) fell into the 15 to 59 age group, and only 14.3% were children
under 15 years of age. People aged 60 or over accounted for almost a quarter of the
Italian population, but only 3.6% of the inhabitants of Yemen.
By 2050, the proportion of children under 15 is predicted to drop in both countries, most
noticeably in Yemen where the figure is expected to fall by 13.1%. On the other hand,
the figures for elderly people are expected to rise, by 2.1% in Yemen and a massive
18.2% in Italy. Finally, it is anticipated that the 15 to 59 age group will grow by around
10% in Yemen, but shrink by around 15% in Italy.
