a1. You learn on the business channel that inflation was about 0.8% last month.  Assume this rate is maintained each month for a year.  What will the annualized rate be?  EXAMPLE:  A rate of 0.1% per month represents (1 + 0.001)^12 -1 = 0.0121 or 1.21% annually.


a2. Your sales grew 4% last year.  EXAMPLE: A 2% growth rate for the year would require 1.02 = (1 + r)^12.  Solve this for r: See image ; r = .00165 or .165% per month on average.  What average monthly growth rate is needed to give the 4% growth?
