For which categories the value of the products returned (as a percentage of sales) increased for three consecutive months?
- Only Electronics
- Only Apparel
- Both Apparel and Footwear
- Only Footwear
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Both Apparel and Footwear
Apparel return % rose over Jan-Feb-Mar (13%, 16%, 20%) and Footwear rose over Oct-Nov-Dec (8%, 9%, 10%). Electronics never rises across three consecutive months (e.g. 2,3,2 and 3,4,2). So both Apparel and Footwear.
