Question

The Korean manufacturing output per hour index is given for years 2014–2018 as follows: a. For each year from 2015 to 2018 determine the rate of increase in Korean manufacturing output per hour to two decimal places. b. Because this index, like inflation, is compounded from period to period (e.g., year to year), estimate the overall annual rate of increase in Korean manufacturing output per hour from 2015 to 2018. Suggestion! Do not simply average the rates of part (a).
