I can not figure out how to do the growth rate calculation on my scientific calculator. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m a home studier with no one else to ask!
November 27, 2014 at 7:44 pm #213931From 2010 to 2013 there are three years of growth.
The earliest dividend is 31.1 and the latest is 36.If g is the average growth rate, then
31.1 x (1+g)^3 = 36
So 1+g = cubed root of 36/31.1
You will have a cube root button on your calculator and so you should now be able to get the answer.
November 29, 2014 at 6:19 pm #214489Thank you. I understand how the calculation works I just can’t not figure out where the cubed root button is on my phone. Have tried googling but I’m still not getting the correct answer.
November 29, 2014 at 6:20 pm #214491Sorry I meant the cubed root button on my calculator!

use power button ^ use power 1/3 its an alternate to cubic root 🙂
November 30, 2014 at 7:59 am #214598Student4314 is correct about the alternative, but if you have a scientific calculator then I am very surprised if it does not have a cubed root button (maybe a second function over the square root button?)
