Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → To understand and analyse the donations received by a non-government organisation

CAGR is used to measure and compare growth rates of investments over time.

It is suitable for:

• calculating average growth of an investment

• comparing performance of investment advisors

• comparing returns of stocks with savings accounts

It is NOT used to analyse donations received by a non-government organisation, since donations do not represent compounded investment growth.
