    The calculations are shown below.

    Explanation:

    In order to compute the percentage rate we have to assume the initial cost be $100

    So the percentage rate for the following years could be as follows

    (a) 4 years = $100 : 4 = 25%

    (b) 8 years = $100 : 8 = 12.5%

    (c) 10 years = $100 : 10 = 10%

    (d) 16 years = $100 : 16 = 6.25%

    (e) 25 years = $100 : 25 = 4%

    (f) 40 years = $100 : 40 = 2.5%

    (g) 50 years = $100 : 50 = 2%

    By dividing the initial cost by the number of years we can get the percentage rate and the same method is applied
