Increase in utilities = 267 - 233 = 34
For $233, increase = $34
For $100, increase = [tex]\frac{34}{233} (100)[/tex]
= 14.59%
Increase in staffing expense = 1411 - 1266 = 145
For $1266, increase = $145
For $100, increase = [tex]\frac{145}{1266} (100)[/tex]
=11.45%
Hence, utilities had the higher percentage growth rate.
