Answer :

To determine the contribution percentage of insurance from the total annual expenses, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Sum up all the annual expenses in each category

Let's list the expenses:

- Payroll: \[tex]$282,564 - Advertising: \$[/tex]6,498
- Raw Materials: \[tex]$174,623 - Rent: \$[/tex]47,968
- Insurance: \[tex]$5,137 - Utilities: \$[/tex]11,690
- Services: \[tex]$7,600 Now, add them together to get the total expenses: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 282,564 + 6,498 + 174,623 + 47,968 + 5,137 + 11,690 + 7,600 \] Performing the addition: \[ 282,564 + 6,498 = 289,062 \] \[ 289,062 + 174,623 = 463,685 \] \[ 463,685 + 47,968 = 511,653 \] \[ 511,653 + 5,137 = 516,790 \] \[ 516,790 + 11,690 = 528,480 \] \[ 528,480 + 7,600 = 536,080 \] So, the total annual expenses are: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = \$[/tex]536,080 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the contribution percentage of insurance

The formula to calculate the percentage contribution of a category is:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Contribution} = \left( \frac{\text{Category Expense}}{\text{Total Expenses}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

Plugging in the values for insurance:
[tex]\[ \text{Insurance Contribution Percentage} = \left( \frac{5,137}{536,080} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

Calculating step-by-step:
[tex]\[ \frac{5,137}{536,080} \approx 0.009582524996269213 \][/tex]

Now convert it to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
[tex]\[ 0.009582524996269213 \times 100 \approx 0.9582524996269213 \][/tex]

### Step 3: Round to the nearest whole percent

[tex]\[ 0.9582524996269213 \approx 1\% \][/tex]

### Final Answer

The contribution percentage of insurance to the total annual expenses, rounded to the nearest whole percent, is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{1 \%} \][/tex]
