Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To forecast Hypothetical's net income for 2009, assuming it grows at the same rate as last year, you would typically calculate the growth rate from the previous year and apply it to the last known net income figure. Without the specific numbers from the previous years, we can't calculate the exact growth rate or apply it. However, the correct process involves identifying the growth rate and applying it to the most recent net income figure to forecast the next year's net income. Since we can't perform the exact calculation without the data, the correct answer is chosen based on the assumption that the process described is understood and followed.
