Explanation / Answer

1)

growth rate in 1934-1936=(1000000/243000)^(1/2)-1=102.86%

growth rate in 1936-1939=(4.5/1)^(1/3)-1=65.10%

growth rate in 1934-1939=(4500000/243000)^(1/5)-1=79.28%

sales in 1945=4.5*(1+79.28%)^6=149.42 million

sales volume in Italy=(26.7*9%)*(1+10.26%)^42=145.32 billion case

the above is answer..
