Dear,
Many techniques are used to forecast sales growth, i.e.
Time series - Trend Analysis
Interpolation and Extrapolation
Trial and Error approach
Probability.
Ratio Analysis
Regression Line, etc.

However the first method is easier among others, on the basis of which , Growth rate has been determined to be 23% for the 6th year.

If you want any other specific method to be used or the detail as to how has 23% been arrived at, Mention your email address.
