<PRE><B>Question 1054762</B>
a 5000 investment in dell computer in 1995 was worth 237000 in 1999 it grew continuously during this time period find the average annual growth rate of the stock 
-------------------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
23700 = 5000(1+r)^4
18700 = (1+r)^4
----
1+r = 4th root of 18700 = 11.69
-----
rate = 10.69 = 1069%
