What interest rate did the man’s investment receive this year?[img]2010q3/ebecf

Man: I’d like some advice about my investment in Lawsons. I was hoping for five per cent but it didn’t even repeat last year’s four point five per cent.
Woman: Well, four per cent’s not all that bad the way things are at the moment. A lot of companies are giving far less.

Man: The sales figures look very good.
Woman: Yes, Germany has done very well again with sales up to eleven million pounds. But the overall increase was largely due to excellent sales in Italy and Greece. We’d forecast eleven million for Italy but, in fact, they overtook Germany, almost reaching thirteen million, while Greek sales were up by over three million to eight million.
Man: That’s interesting.
