Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Income tax expense for 3 years.

Finding percentage of trend analysis for the year 2.

Base year is the year 1.

Now, as we know the base year is 1st which has income tax expense $1000.

Finding percentage in trend analysis for the year 2, which has income tax expense $1920.

Percentage of year 2 in a trend analysis =
\frac{\textrm{tax expense of year 2}}{\textrm{ tax expense of base year}} * 100

⇒ Percentage of year 2 in a trend analysis=
(1920)/(1000) * 100= 192\%

The percentage to be assigned for year 2 in trend analysis is 192.
