The pie chart shows the expected expenditure breakdown allocation for the first year as the projects are set up. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The table illustrates the predicted cost in American dollars for three environmental projects over the next five years and information about the forecasted expenditure share for the first year is presented on the pie chart.
It can be seen from the table that South-east Asia has the highest predicted cost over a whole period.
In the first year, the estimated cost of African project is 10.5 million dollars, a little more than half of Central America and about one-third of the Asian project. There is a prediction that West Africa will spend less money in the following years than in the first year, with figures plummeting by 7 million dollars in Year 5. Central America shows a similar pattern. In Year 5 expected cost of the project is 5 million dollars which are four times less than in Year 1. Whereas, a significant rise in the cost of Asian project is set throughout the period.
Regarding the pie chart, a hefty 50 percent of the projected cost in Year 1 will cover salaries, while training and office expenses will simultaneously share 10% each and the rest part of set-up costs.
