Table 6 projected annual volume of domestic supply for the next five years involves
calculating the projected annual growth rate based on the average rate of 5.33%.

decimal.
● Average Growth Rate/100=0.533: This converts the average growth rate from a percentage
to a decimal.
27
● Projected Annual Growth x 0.533= 238,362: The formula suggests that to calculate the
projected annual growth, you multiply the average growth rate (in decimal form) by the
previous year’s supply. In this case, the previous year’s supply was 238,362.
