Make your argument based on your analysis of the given charts
Based on the data from the charts we can see that the car data Based on the data given in the charts we can see that out price has increased, so if just were to have looked at that chart you would thing that Grappone’s profit margins would be increasing. But once you look at the Input Price you realize that their input price has also increased quite a bit, and when I mean quite a bit I mean exponentially. The exponentially input put price growth has started to slow down which is good, but as a whole in general Grappone’s profit margin’s are still shrinking as their input price is increasing much faster than their output price.
