Can you check which exam you are asking about, because Q31 is called Jungle and doesn't have the figures that you are quoting.

If you look at the budget given in the question, the revenue is increasing by 2% each quarter. Applying 2% growth to the actual revenue in Q1 gives 14,096 x 1.02 = 14,378 for Q2; 14,378 x 1.02 = 14,666 for Q3, and so on. Similarly, the cost of sales in the previous year were growing at 2% per quarter. So the actual cost of sales in Q1 is increased at 2% per quarter.
