•The number of affected businesses at any time is determined by the following formula:

•The number of affected businesses at any time is determined by the following formula:

Businesses in Period ''p'' = Businesses in period₀ ∗ (1+growth rate)^(''p''/frequency)

Businesses in Period ''p'' = Businesses in period₀ ∗ (1+growth rate)^{(''p''/frequency)}

The exponent at the end of the formula just splits your annual growth rates into periodic growth rates. For example if you have a monthly requirement, it happens 12 times per year, and over 10 years you would have 120 different periods where you’d want to know the stakeholder count. This formula automates that for you, so you only need to enter the annual growth rate and the frequency of the activity.

EXAMPLE: businesses in period 0 = 100; growth rate = 1%   

EXAMPLE: businesses in period 0 = 100; growth rate = 1%   

What is the number of businesses in period 2 if an activity’s annual frequency = 1? = 100∗ (1+0.01)^(2/1)=102

What is the number of businesses in period 2 if an activity’s annual frequency = 1? = 100∗ (1+0.01)^(2/1)=102

What is the number of businesses in period 2 if an activity’s annual frequency = 4? =100∗ (1+0.01)^(2/4)=100.5  

What is the number of businesses in period 2 if an activity’s annual frequency = 4? =100∗ (1+0.01)^(2/4)=100.5
