For company

Y = [1/5 * (25 + 35 + 35 + 50 + 40)] = 185/5 = 37

For company

Z = [1/5 * (35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35)] = 190/5 = 38 Average production of five years in maximum for both the companies X and Z.

a)

The percentage of production of company Z to the production of company Z for various years are:

For 1996 = (35/25 * 100)% = 140%

For 1997 = (40/35 * 100)% = 114.29%

For 1998 = (45/35 * 100)% = 128.57%

For 1999 = (35/40 * 100)% = 87.5%

For 2000 = (35/50 * 100)% = 70%

Clearly, this percentage is highest for 1996.
