Assume the Round 1 growth rates will continue into the future unchanged. This will give you some idea for potential market size. If you have time, try a worst case and best case scenario for Rounds 2 through 8. For worst case, assume, say, half the growth rate. For best case assume, say, 1.5 times the growth rate. Use the information in the Courier to calculate the Round 1 demand for each of the segments. Once you have successfully entered the correct demand for Rounds 0 and 1, then the rest of the table will fill automatically.
