Summarize Argument

The accountant concludes that the desirability of the company’s meals has decreased. The evidence is that all of the restaurants with sales figures for the prior two years show that fewer meals were sold per restaurant last year compared to the year prior.

Notable Assumptions

The accountant assumes that desirability is the primary factor that affected sales in the last two years. The accountant also assumes that what’s true of the restaurants in question—those that permit a year-by-year comparison—is generally true of the company’s restaurants.
