Answer:

a. The annual rate of return associated with the 16th year of education is:

9.1%

b. The actual return of return to the 16th year of schooling is more than 9.1%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average income for people with 15 years of schooling = $60,000

Average income for people with 16 years of schooling = $66,000

Income associated with the 16th year of education = $6,000 (66,000 - 60,000)

Annual rate of return with the 16th year of education = $6,000/$66,000 * 100 = 9.1%
