Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 9.8 %

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Growth factor} = \frac{32000}{20000} = 1.6\) \(\text{Number of years} = 2023 - 2018 = 5\) \(\text{CAGR} = (1.6)^{\frac{1}{5}} - 1\) Using the given approximation \((1.6)^{\frac{1}{6}}=1.098\): \(\text{CAGR} \approx 1.098 - 1 = 0.098\) \(\text{CAGR} \approx 9.8\%\)
