a$.$ From $2018$ to $2023,$ what is compound annual growth rate $($CAGR$)$ for each of these measures?

b$.$ Over the same five$-$year period, Verizon's averaged an ROE of approximately $25\%,$ and returned approximately $60\%$ of cash flows to shareholders $($thereby reinvesting approximately $40\%$ of every dollar earned$).$ What growth should Verizon have seen given those facts $-$ how does it relate to the measures in part a$?$
