From your calculations in part a, calculate each year's rate of growth. Using the example in part a, the ratio is 1.0187, so the percentage growth in sales for 2016 is 1.0187-1 or 1.87%. Calculate the ratio of each years' data to the previous year for each of the above items for Clorox. For example, for the year 2016, the ratio for sales is $5,761/$5,655 = 1.0187. Calculate the average growth rate (using the AVERAGE function) of each of the above items using the results you calculated in part b. These averages are arithmetic averages. d. Use the GEOMEAN function to estimate the compound annual average growth rate (CAGR) for each of the above items using the results that you calculated in part a. Be sure to subtract 1 from the result to arrive at a percent change. These are geometric averages. Compare the results from part c to those for part d for each item. Is it true that the arithmetic average growth rate is always greater than or
