    Dear tutor,

    Can u guide me how to calculate “geometric average growth” in this question? It’s definitely not as a average calculation

    Turn over
    2008: 28m
    2007: 24m
    2006: 19.1m
    2005: 16.8m

    Turnover growth
    2008: 17%
    2007: 28%
    2006: 14%
    2005

    Geometric average growth : 18.6% ????????

    This is fully explained in my free lectures!!!

    This certainly is an average calculation – it is the geometric average which is what we always use for growth rates.

    The turnover grew from 16.8 to 28 over 3 years of growth.

    Therefore the average growth rate = (third root of 28/16.8) – 1 = 0.186 (or 18.6%)
