The task

A company's revenue was $70,000 in 2012 and $135,000 in 2015. What was its compound annual growth rate over that span?

What this problem teaches

Set P/Y = C/Y = 1, so I/Y is the rate per period. Cash you pay out is negative and cash you receive is positive.

A hint if you get stuck

CAGR = (end / start)^(1 / years) - 1. From year 0 to year n there are n years of growth.
