To draw the bar chart, you should accomplish the following tasks:
1. Determine a scale.
• Depending on the size of the small divisions on your graph paper, let a suitable number of divisions represent an appropriate number of million dollars.
• Pick a scale so the largest bar will fill about half of the page. This will leave room for labels and titles.
2. Draw the axes.
• Leave appropriate margins.
• Draw the vertical axis as a line along the left side of the page.
• Mark the increments of the scale along the vertical axis (You need to decide what increments are appropriate.)
• Draw the horizontal axis as a line along the bottom of the page.
3. Create labels and titles.
• Put the units of the scale beside the vertical axis: $ Million.
• Put the quarter number beneath the horizontal axis: Qtr1, Qtr2, etc.
• Put a title at the top of the graph: XYZ Company Quarterly Earnings.
4. Draw the bars.
• Let each vertical bar represent the earnings for one quarter.
• The length of each bar should be proportional to the value it represents, according to the scale on the left.
