Answer 1

B) 20.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

2005:

Sales: 15,000,000

COGS: (12,000,000)

SG&A: (500,000)

EBIT 2,500,000

2006:

Sales: 20,000,000

COGS: (16,000,000)

SG&A: (1,000,0000)

EBIT 3,000,000

Growth rate = ((3,000,000 - 2,500,000) / 2,500,000 ) x 100 = (500,000 / 2,500,000 ) x 100 = 20%
