1) Real GDP
The growth rate = percentage change in GDP
Then change in GDP = (GDP3 - GDP2)/ GDP2
%dGDP =(9,797.20-9,629.40) / 9,629.40 = 167.80/9,629.40 = 0.02
So the compounded annual rate of growth is
g(GDP)= (1+%dGDP)^4 -1 = 0.07 = 7%

2) Final sales
change in Sales = (Sales3 - Sales2)/ Sales2
%d Sales =(9,814.70 -9,631.10) / 9,631.10 = 183.60/ 9,631.10= 0.02
So the compounded annual rate of growth is
g(Sales)= (1+%dSales)^4 -1 = 0.08 = 8%

3) Gross domestic purchases
change in ...
