Answer:

2

Explanation:

To find the approximate annual growth rate of the stock, we can use the formula for compound annual growth rate (CAGR):

CAGR = (Ending value / Beginning value)^(1/n) - 1

Where n is the number of years.

In this case, the beginning value is $2545.30, the ending value is $4152.57 and the number of years is 6.

So, CAGR = (4152.57 / 2545.30)^(1/6) - 1

The CAGR is approximately 26.8% which is the answer 2.
