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):

\(P_T = P_0(1 + \frac{R}{100})^T\)

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:

\(P_T = P_0(1 + \frac{R_1}{100})(1 + \frac{R_2}{100})(1 + \frac{R_3}{100})\)

Note: It’s every year so, \(T = 1\). 

 

3. Formula for Migrated in \(M_{in}\), Migrated out \(M_{out}\), Dead \(D\), Born \(B\):

Let us consider, in a particular year \(M_{in}\) and\(M_{out}\) people are migrated in and migrated out respectively. Also, \(D\) people are dead and \(B\) people are born. Then the population at the end of \(T\) years \(P_T\) is, given by,

\(P_T = P_0(1 + \frac{R}{100})^T + M_{in} – M_{out} + B - D\)

 

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)

\(V_T = V_0(1 - \frac{R}{100})^T\)

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:

\(V_T = V_0(1 - \frac{R_1}{100})(1 - \frac{R_2}{100})(1 - \frac{R_3}{100})\)

Note: It’s every year so, \(T = 1\).
