Question

Connor Corp. has large amount of data that they are trying to analyze from the last 15 years. They have an arithmetic sales growth average of 12% and a geometric average growth of 9%. Using Blume’s formula, what would the forecast sales growth be for the next five years?

Answer 1

Answer: sale growth rate = 10.82%

Explanation:

blume's formula = ((t - 1)/(n - 1 )) x arithmetic r + geometric r x (n - t)/(t - 1)

blume formula =  ((5 -1 )/(15 - 1)) x 0.09 + 0.12 x (15- 5)/ (5 - 1)

Blume formula = 10.82%
