To calculate the overall growth over 5 years with a yearly growth rate of 120%, we use the formula for compound growth:

[ \text{Final Amount} = \text{Initial Amount} \times (1 + \text{Growth Rate})^{\text{Number of Years}} ]

Here, the growth rate is 120%, or 1.20 in decimal form. The number of years is 5. Assuming the initial amount is 1 (100%), we can calculate the final amount after 5 years. Let's calculate it.

After 5 years of growing at a rate of 120% per year, the company would have grown by about 51.54 times its original size from year one to year five. This is based on compound growth.

To find the 5th year earnings for a company that made $100,000 in its first year and grew at a rate of 120% per year for 5 years, we multiply the initial amount by the growth factor we calculated:

[ $100,000 \times 51.54 ]

Let's do the calculation.

To express a growth factor of 51 times in percentage terms, you would calculate it as follows:

[ \text{Percentage Growth} = (\text{Growth Factor} - 1) \times 100% ]

For a growth factor of 51:

[ \text{Percentage Growth} = (51 - 1) \times 100% ]

Let's calculate this.
