The percent change for Year 2 compared to the base year is -4.04%
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Year 1 Sales = $396,000
Year 2 Sales = $380,000
Reduction = $16,000
Percentage reduction = $16,000/$396,000 x 100 = 4.04%
This is a reduction, and it is negative.
b) The change in sales is calculated as the difference between year 1 and year 2 sales over the sales in year 1 multiplied by 100. This is expressed as a percentage by the multiplication by 100. The percent change describes the relationship between the sales figure in year 1 and the sales figure in 2. When calculated as above, it shows that sales reduced in year 2 by 4.04% from the sales in year 1.

Fixed manufacturing overhead is considered as a periodic cost and charged from the periodic gross profits.
