An investment returns for the years were 4% for year 1, 3% for year 2, 7% for year 3, and -2% for year 4.
Answers
1. Calculation of arithmetic means
= Total of return of all the year/no. of years
= 4+3+7-2/4years
Arithmetic mean= 3%
2.Calculation of geometric mean
=4*3*7*-2
= -168
= -1681/4
= -1680.25
Geometric means= - 3.60%
3. Calculation of expected return of first 3 years
Year |
Return(%) (a) |
Probability (b) |
Expected Return(%) (c=a*b) |
1 | 4 | 0.3 | 1.20 |
2 | 3 | 0.2 | 0.60 |
3 | 7 | 0.5 | 3.50 |
Total | 5.30 |
4 Calculatiion of standard deviation of first 3 years
Year |
Probability (a) |
Return(%) (b) |
Expected Return (c) |
Calculation (b-c)2*a=d |
1 | 0.3 | 4 | 5.30 | 0.507 |
2 | 0.2 | 3 | 5.30 | 1.058 |
3 | 0.5 | 7 | 5.30 | 1.445 |
3.01 |
Standard deviation =
= 1.73
