| The entrance cover charge at a local bar at the end of 2000 was $3 and the cover charge at the end of 2002 was $4. | |||||||||||
| It means in 2 years, cover charge has been grown from $ 3 to $ 4. | |||||||||||
| Now, we calculate growth rate through following formula: | |||||||||||
| Future Value | = | Present Value *(1+g)^n | Where, | ||||||||
| $ 4 | = | $ 3*(1+g)^2 | i | Growth rate | ? | ||||||
| 1.33 | = | (1+g)^2 | g | life in years | 2 | ||||||
| 1.33^(1/2) | = | 1+g | |||||||||
| 1.153256 | = | 1+g | |||||||||
| g | = | 0.153256 | |||||||||
| Thus, | |||||||||||
| Growth rate in 2 years is 15.33% | |||||||||||
