Geometric mean rate of increase

Reference no: EM13128213

A recent article suggested that if you earn $25,000 a year today and the inflation rate continues at 3 percent per year, you'll need to make $33,598 in 10 years to have the same buying power. You would need to make $44,771 if the inflation rate jumped to 6 percent.

Confirm that these statements are accurate by finding the geometric mean rate of increase.
