The document outlines the sales growth required over various time periods to achieve annual returns of 12%, 15%, 20%, and 25% under different price-to-sales ratio scenarios. It shows that higher targeted returns and lower starting price-to-sales ratios require increasingly high compound annual growth rates of sales to be maintained over the holding period. For example, to achieve a 25% annual return over 10 years starting from a price-to-sales ratio of 1.7 would require a 33.3% compound annual sales growth rate.
