Average is $94,706.33. (“United States Securities and Exchange Commission - Dollar General Corporation”, p. 36)
5. Taxes: Used average over the last three years = 1.88% of net sales according to the Common Sized Income Statement percentages.
6. Dollar General plans to increase stores by 6% each year.
