    No, the statement isn't correct

    Explanation:

    The statement is not correct because in any moment they say the growth was constant so asuming that each year the growth was of 20% is not correct. Also because usually when a company is growing and is increasing its sales it makes it in a progresive way so the first years sales are usually less than the ones of the fifth year.
