Please take note of your problems with the capitalization of proper nouns, such as the name of the corporation. All proper nouns, that includes company names, must be written in capital letters for the first letter in every name. Your opening statement fails the 3 sentence minimum criteria for an overview summary and would have lessened the opportunity for you to have gotten a better grade on this test. The same goes for your second paragraph. It lacks information in order to make it sound more logical and authoritative based upon chart information. You also forgot to use numbered facts in a certain part of the essay.
