Compounding is said to be the 8th wonder of the world.
[3]
One who understands, earns
[5]
and one who doesn’t, pays.
[7]
Today, in this video, we will talk about CAGR.
[11]
If you are in the financial world,
[13]
then you may have heard that this company’s CAGR is this,
[17]
or this company’s CAGR is 12%... 14%.
[20]
So, in today’s video, we will tell you what is CAGR.
[24]
And how it is calculated.
[26]
So, CAGR… means Compounded Annual Growth Rate.
[29]
Compounded Annual Growth Rate tells you that if you have done some investment,
[34]
then how much growth it has given to you.
[37]
But, before understanding CAGR, let’s know
[40]
by how many ways you can calculate your returns rate.
[44]
First is absolute returns.
[46]
Suppose you had invested Rs. 10,000 in a company
[49]
and it increased to Rs. 16,000 in 5 years.
[52]
It means, you have earned a total 60% returns in 5 years in that company.
[57]
This is called as absolute returns.
[59]
But it only shows you the total.
[61]
It doesn’t tell you how much returns you have earned each year on an average.
[66]
For that, we take annual returns.
[68]
If you divide 5 years returns with the period, which is 5,
[73]
it comes to 12%.
[74]
It tells you this much you have earned each year.
[78]
But it doesn’t tell how much your money has grown.
[81]
If you grow your investment amount of Rs. 10,000 by 12% each year,
[86]
in 5 years, the amount will be 17423
[90]
which is incorrect because you have earned Rs.16,000.
[93]
So, here enters the Compounded Annual Growth Rate.
[96]
It tells you by how much percent your money has grown.
[100]
So, how to calculate Compounded Annual Growth Rate?
[103]
It’s formula is,
[104]
future value, which is your today’s value, which is 16,000
[107]
divided by initial value, 10,000
[109]
raised to the power 1 divided by your time period
[112]
which is 5 years, minus 1.
[114]
So, if you put it in a formula, it will be
[117]
16000 divided by 10000, raised to the power 1 divided by 5, minus 1.
[122]
So, this amount comes to 9.86%.
[125]
And Compounded Annual Growth Rate is always expressed in terms of percent.
[130]
So, you had put 10000 in the first year.
[132]
If your money has grown by 9.86% each year,
[136]
then, at the end of the 5th year, your amount will be Rs. 16,000.
[140]
It tells you that slowly, your money grew by 9.86% each year.
[146]
So, 9.86 CAGR means
[149]
that if you have put Rs. 10,000
[151]
then at year end, your amount has become 10986.
[155]
Now, your return will not be calculated at 10,000, but on 10986.
[161]
Whereas in simple annual returns,
[163]
we were calculated 12% only on 10,000 and increasing it.
[168]
You may not be able to calculate this 9.86% manually.
[172]
You can calculate it either on some calculator or in Microsoft Excel.
[177]
Now, let’s see how you can calculate it on Microsoft Excel.
[182]
As you can see it on screen
[184]
your starting amount was 10000,
[187]
and at the end of 5th year your amount is 16000.
[190]
For absolute returns, you have to just do 16000 - 10000 divided by 10000
[196]
which comes to 16%.
[198]
To calculate simple annual returns
[200]
you do your absolute returns divided by your time period which is 5 years
[206]
which comes to 60 divided by 5, which is 12%.
[209]
Now, how to use Excel’s rate formula to calculate CAGR?
[214]
In any box, type R-A-T-E RATE,
[218]
then you will see nper. Nper means your time period
[222]
which is 5 years in this case.
[224]
Then you will see pmt.
[226]
Pmt means if you have made some payments in between, which is in this case is zero.
[231]
So, you put comma 0.
[233]
Beside that, you can see pv. Pv means present value.
[237]
In this case, our present value is Rs. 10,000.
[241]
Comma. In brackets, you can see fv. Fv means future value.
[245]
In this case, our future value is Rs. 16,000.
[248]
So, you put Rs. -16,000
[251]
and close the brackets and hit enter.
[253]
So, your amount will be 9.86%.
[257]
It was CAGR of 5 years.
[260]
But, if you want to see what was CAGR of this company for the first two year,
[264]
then you again type is equal to rate comma, nper.
[267]
In this case, your nper will be 2.
[270]
Your pmt will be 0.
[272]
Your present value will be 10,000
[275]
and your future value, in this case, will be 13300.
[279]
Brackets close, hit enter.
[281]
This amount will be 15.33%.
[284]
This tells you that how your CAGR varies year-to-year.
[289]
Because returns for any company are never constant.
[291]
Sometimes, they give you positive returns,
[294]
Sometimes, they give you negative returns.
[296]
You should not calculate CAGR for a very long period of time.
[300]
Suppose, you are seeing CAGR of a company for 15 years,
[303]
which is around 15%.
[305]
So, you may be thinking that company is still giving you 15% growth.
[309]
But, it may not be the case.
[311]
That company might have given good growth in initial five years
[314]
and might not have given growth in the next ten years.
[317]
So, it may have presented wrong picture of the company to you.
[321]
Hence, you should observe growth for recent time.
[323]
CAGR helps you to follow trends of a company.
[327]
And it tells you that if the company will move in that direction or not.
[331]
I hope, in this video, you must have learned about CAGR
[335]
and you can calculate it by yourself.
