Percent increase in production of the company from 1994 to 1995 = 25%;

Percent increase in production of the company from 1995 to 1996 = 60%;

∴ Required net percent increase from 1994 to 1996 = {25 + 60 +(25 × 60)/100}%

⇒ $(85 + 15)% = 100%

∴ P$roduction of the company is increased from 1994 to 1996 by 100%.
