Question
![Oil prices have increased a great deal in the last decade. The following table shows the average oil price for each year since 1949.
Many companies use oil products as a resource in their own business operations (like airline firms and manufacturers of plastic
products). Managers of these firms will keep a close watch on how rising oil prices will impact their costs. The interest rate in the
PV/FV equations can also be interpreted as a growth rate in sales, costs, profits, and so on.
