Question

Problem: Typically, the late spring and summer months are the most popular times for personal travel. For the last five years, the top sales months have been April-August. This year, however, sales did not increase during these months. For the first time in five years, Quest annual sales are declining—they now expect to make less this year than last year.

Answer 1

It appears that the typical pattern of increased sales during the late spring and summer months has not been followed this year, resulting in a decline in Quest's annual sales compared to the previous year. Possible causes of this decline could be changes in the market, competition, or consumer preferences. It is important to analyze the data to identify the root cause of the decrease in sales and develop strategies to improve sales in the coming years.
