[net.invest] Calculating Growth rates

karl@vrdxhq.UUCP (Karl Nyberg) (12/13/85)

As part of the evaluation process for stock in our investment club we
have to calculate the ten year growth rates of Earning Per Share and
Sales.  It's a bit of a pain to chart these figures and then do
midpoint averaging on semi-log paper, especially when using a computer
would be so much simpler.  Can anybody give me a formula for finding
determining such figures from a series of numbers (ten of them
usually, but general formulas will be accepted also!).  Thanks.
