Hint: (Please use this for your answer)

• -Without electricity we cannot use the Microwave. (table E)
• -Why should urbanization matter? People are living in more urban areas than rural. People who live in more urbanized areas have more purchasing power. More urbanization more money. (table D)
• -Why should we learn about total population? More people more microwaves (more consumption-more mouths to feed). (table C)
• -To see how many microwaves are in possession. If you have a more saturated market you have less amount of entry. Vice versa. (table B)
• -Understand the trend (2010-2015). Which country shows you most growth? Which country looks more favorable? (table A)
