Q: CAGR can also be used to predict future growth based upon a historical CAGR. This is done similarly to calculating a historical CAGR. In order to calculate future value, you will need a few essential values. This includes the starting value, ending or finishing value, and the period of time over which you wish to measure growth. Determine the starting value (SV) of an asset, for example, the price paid for a share of stock or the current revenues of a company. Determine the period of time (T) you want to study, for example, the number of years, months, quarters, etc. Enter the CAGR percentage as a decimal. For example, the CAGR percentage of 24.9% calculated in method one would be entered here at 0.249. Future values can be calculated using the following formula: FV = SV(1 + CAGR)^T. Simply input the values you have decided on and calculate the future value in a similar way to calculating CAGR. You can either calculate this value by calculator or using a computer. To calculate this on a computer, use a spreadsheet program and enter the program into an empty cell. For example, a potential calculation in Excel would start with SV in cell A1, CAGR in cell D1, and T in cell C1. To calculate FV, enter the following into an empty cell: =A1(1+D1)^C1 and press enter. When using your CAGR to predict future values, keep in mind that no historical data can accurately predict the future. However, using a CAGR can serve as a somewhat reliable estimate of future growth. Keep in mind also that this CAGR represents an average of the growth of the represented values and will likely be lower or higher within the given year or period of time that you are trying to estimate.
A: Identify the values needed to calculate CAGR. Calculate future value using CAGR. Analyze your result.

Q: Plug in the flash drive into the USB port or place the CD in the disc drive that contains the bootable antivirus application. Once the external storage has been detected, open My Computer and run the antivirus inside the bootable media. The application should begin scanning for any viruses or ransomware that may be in your computer system. Once the antivirus application finishes scanning, click the "Delete" button of the antivirus to permanently remove the malware from your computer. Click the "Start/Orb" button on the bottom left corner of the screen and select the "Restart" button to reboot the computer. If you can now access your computer again normally (without going into safe mode), it means that the ransomware has been successfully deleted.
A: Connect your external media. Scan for viruses. Delete the viruses. Restart your computer.

Q: Find out if the school you're applying to uses the common application. If so, be sure to select one of the current year's common application essay questions. Most college application prompts can be identified as one of several "types" of question: Tell us about an event in your life that changed you. Be sure to answer this type of question with a specific, detailed narrative and follow it with analysis. Tie it in to who you are now, and be sure to add details about how you think it will shape your future. Tell us how you would contribute to the diversity of the student body. Remember that there are different kinds of diversity: racial, gender identity, sexual orientation, and family history. If you are a first-generation college student in your family, that may contribute to the school's diversity. Find the student body statistics on the college's website to see if there is a way you would stand out. Tell us why you want to attend this school. Be specific and complimentary, but try not to use too much flattery. Use the schools website to find specific programs that are unique to the college that you are interested in participating in. Be sure to tie your goals at college in to your personal strengths. Rewriting a prompt in your own words ensures that you really understand it and know what it is asking you to do. If any questions come up while doing this, consult a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent for a second opinion. Do not just select the topic that jumps out at you on the first read; give the topics some time in your mind. Narrow the list down to a couple of options that you think would make good essays. Pre-write a list of ideas or draw a mind map for each of the selected topics. While there may be many topics that you could write a successful essay about, if you choose the one that just "feels" right, you're more likely to put an intuitive personal spin on your essay. Instead of selecting the essay prompt first, try writing down a list of personal accomplishments, attributes, and stories that you want to include in your essay and then selecting the topic that will help you shine as an applicant. The key to being successful at a college essay is standing out and providing the student body of the college with value of some sort. Avoid generic topics or stories and try to really find something to say that highlights who you are as an individual. Integrate your strengths and goals into the answer for the question, but be sure to answer the question as well. Find out if there are any overused or cliche experiences that may not be successful as a college essay. An example of an overused topic is a charitable mission trip. Your guidance counselor may help you determine what has been overdone. This is a common mistake in college admissions essays. You can be in such a hurry to tell the admissions committee all of your accomplishments that your essay reads more like a list. Use concrete examples with personal relevance to back up all of your claims. For example, don't just say "I have strong leadership skills." This is telling. Instead, use a formula such as this: "My experiences in ____ have developed strong leadership skills." Then write about how you organized cookie sales for your Girl Scouts troop or served as a camp counselor in the summer (or whatever is germane to your claim). Determining what seems to be important to the college (such as diversity, community service, or personal integrity) and emphasizing that quality in yourself can make you seem like a good fit for the school. Search the college president's page for a "strategic plan" for the coming years. Look at the college mission and vision and try to weave these into your personal values. Check the website for special programs or initiatives such as service learning, global leadership, or environmental conservation and integrate these ideas into your own.
A:
Read any available prompt very carefully. Rewrite the essay prompt in your own words. Think carefully about the list of topics. Select a topic that you feel the strongest connection with. Use a backwards approach. Say something meaningful and unique. Show, rather than tell. Read through the college website.
