Talk:Compound annual growth rate

message: The calculation given here is only the standard Future Value of a Dollar.  This is covered at the site time value of money and the detailed sites referenced from there.
The calculation will only work if there is only one cash flow at the beginning of the investment.
The discussion paragraphs I believe to be wrong. I don't know how long I should wait for your input before acting. If there is a 'norm' let me know. Any other thoughts? --Retail Investor 20:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't have a clue about the different methods of calculation. But neither rate of return nor time value of money mention the term "compound annual growth rate" or "CAGR". I just looked up the term, but didn't find a explanation. From a user view i hardly care about the lemma i'm redirected to - as long as i find a definition of the term i looked for. Could you maybe fill this gap? --Zinnmann 10:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, but in fact I don't know, what CAGR is. I stumbled across it in a business spreadsheet and needed some background information. There's a short sub-article at de:Wachstumsrate#Compound Annual Growth Rate. I'll try a translation but can't guarantee the correctness - neither factual nor grammatical :-) So, if you think that it's nonsense, please put in a VfD. On the other hand: what's wrong about the version  you have replaced with that redirect? --Zinnmann 15:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: What are the decimal multiplier equivalents?. I think there would be a Wiktionary or Wikipedia topic about it (I see the examples, but it would be more clear ). I.e. 1 + (X/100) ?--Nudecline (talk) 07:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The numbers in the example are weirdly specific -- why is 2004 4819356? What was wrong with the old value (9000)?  And why, when the example was updated, why wasn't the sample equation updated?
I propose to revert the sample back to the old series of numbers (e.g., from the 14-OCT-2013 version).  Those are solid, reasonable numbers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.146.98 (talk) 02:50, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
