Explanation / Answer

What has the GSA growth rate

For computing the growth rate .......... let growth rate = g. Then the required equation will be

Base GSA ( 1 + g )n = Current GSA

6 (1 + g )7 = 21.5

( 1 + g ) 7 = 21.5 / 7 =  3.07142857

( 1 + g ) = (3.07142857)1/7 = 1.1739

g = 0.1739 or 17.39 %

Ratio of GSA to COGS to Sales been

= GSA / COGS * 100 = 6 / 60 * 100 = 10% .......... This remains constant in all the years

Check if answer is needed in % terms or not. Otherwise the answer without % = 0.10
