Find:

Percentage difference

Computation:

Actual difference = Amount actual made - Amount planed to make

Actual difference = 300,000 - 250,000

Actual difference = 50,000

Percentage difference = [Actual difference/Amount planed to make]100

Percentage difference = [50,000 / 250,000]100

Percentage difference = [0.2]100

Percentage difference = 20%
