Coca-Cola's worldwide sales as of December 31, 2011, was 26.7 billion cases. Assume the following sales distribution:

Unit Case Volume
Eastern Europe 20%
Germany 16% in 14%
Great Britain 12%
Italy 9%
France 8%
Other 21%

If Coca-Cola's worldwide growth were to continue at the same growth rate as it did in Germany between 1939 and 2008, when sales grew at the rate of 10.26% , its hypothetical sales in Germany in 2053 (42 years from 2011) would be approximately_____ billion cases. (Note: For this question, ignore other factors that affect sales.)

Answer:

Assuming the same rate that Coca Cola's did in Germany between 1939 and 2008 and the same volume distribution of 2011 cases sales, then hypothetically sales in Germany in 2053 would be 226 bilion cases.

Explanation:

Taking the Coca Cola's worldwide growth the same rate that Coca Cola's grew in Germany between 1939 and 2008, that is 10.26% per, then for the 26.7 billion from today up to the 2053 year we would have:

S = 26.7 billion * (1.1026)^42 = 1614 billion cases

If we use volume distribution of the year 2011, then sales in Germany would be:

SG = 1614 billion cases * 14 % = 226 billion cases
