Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Look at the projected cumulative inflation rates.

Steps:

Manufacturing Labor cumulative inflation over 4 years is the highest as per the table:

2.5% + 3.0% + 3.5% = 9.0%

Compare this with the inflation rates of Steel and Copper:

Steel = 2.5% + 2.5% + 3.0% + 2.0% = 10%

Copper = 1.0% + 1.5% + 2.0% + 2.5% = 7%

Thus, Steel has the greatest projected price index increase over the 4 years.

I remember we discussed how manufacturing labor can fluctuate based on demand, but I’m not sure if it would have the highest increase.
