P&G Peak Assessment Practice Test

What is the cumulative growth from Q1 to Q4 given quarterly sales of 120, 150, 180, 210 (in thousands)?

80%. 70%. 60%. 75%.

Correct Answer:

75%.

Explanation:

Cumulative growth from the first to the last quarter measures how much the value has grown overall, expressed as a percentage of the starting amount. Use (final value − initial value) ÷ initial value times 100. Here the initial sales are 120 (thousand) and the final sales are 210 (thousand). The increase is 210 − 120 = 90. Then 90 ÷ 120 = 0.75, which is 75%. So the overall growth from Q1 to Q4 is 75%. The quarter-to-quarter increases are 25%, 20%, and about 16.7%, which show the pace each quarter rather than the total change from start to finish.
