It has shown great results in terms of EBIT, which had increased the sales rapidly and thus increasing the profit as well. 

On the basis of the above report, this can be advised to the internal manager of the organisation that the remuneration expenses should not increase more than a certain level as it was seen that the expense is increasing year by year. The unnecessary expenses should be minimised more to reduce the overall expense and this will reduce cost and hence increase productivity and the profitability of the company.
