To calculate the trend percentage for 2013, we need to compare the sales of 2013 with the base year sales of 2012.

Trend percentage for 2013 = ((Sales of 2013 - Sales of 2012) / Sales of 2012) x 100

Plugging in the values, we get:

Trend percentage for 2013 = ((60,000 - 40,000) / 40,000) x 100 = 50%

Therefore, the sales in 2013 have increased by 50% compared to the base year (2012).

Hence, the best choice is B) 150% (as 50% increase from 2012 gives us a trend percentage of 150% for 2013).
