3D pie chart template above plots percentage of expenses incurred by business development department of an organization. The chart shows proportions of expenses incurred under each of the 5 major expense heads. While 38% going towards salaries and 30% towards marketing looks good for a business development department, there probably is a scope to reduce infrastructure expenses from current level of 20% of total expenses and a further analysis can reveal steps required to bring down the infrastructure expenses.
