    Year Net Profit

    1 $14,250.00

    2 $15,390.00

    3 $16,621.20

    4 $17,950.90 2

    We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.

    Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year) / Previous Year * 100%

    Year 2: (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

    Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

    Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

    Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:

    17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97 Choice D.
