Hi,

Kindly help me calculate the geometric mean increase of 835000 divided by 755000 minus 1 rooot 10

Nikoi - sorry, but I don't understand the question. Are you asking to calculate:

$<br /> \left ( \frac {835000} {755000} -1 \right ) ^{1/10}<br />$

What is this for? I think what you probably want is:

$<br /> \left ( \frac {835000} {755000} \right ) ^{1/10} - 1<br />$

Which would give you the geometric rate of growth per period to go from 755000 to 835000 over ten periods.
