CAGR Formula

This problem tests a basic corporate finance concept that comes up often in valuation, performance analysis, and interview discussions about growth rates. Candidates need to understand what CAGR is measuring, why it is used instead of a simple average, and how compounding over multiple years is reflected in the calculation. Interviewers ask this kind of question to check whether you can work with time based growth metrics, interpret investment performance correctly, and explain the finance logic behind a standard formula.
