Growth
Growth refers to an increase in the value of a quantity over time, such as population, investment, or business revenue. It is often expressed as a percentage.
1. Population Growth Formula (Exponential Growth):
Where:
- \( P_T \) = Final population after growth
- \( P_0 \) = Initial Population Value (starting amount)
- \( R \) = Growth rate
- \( T\) = Time period
2. Formula for \(R_1 %\), \(R_2 %\), \(R_3 %\) Population Growth Rate Every year:
Note: It’s every year so, \(T = 1\).
Depreciation
Depreciation is the decrease in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or usage.
1. Value Depreciation Formula (Exponential /Declining Balance Method)
Where:
- \( V_T\) = Value of asset after depreciation
- \(V_0\) = Initial value (original cost)
- \( R\) = Depreciation rate
- \( T\) = Time period
2. Formula for \(R_1 %\), \(R_2 %\), \(R_3 %\) Value Depreciation Rate Every year:
Note: It’s every year so, \(T = 1\).
