Solution: | |||
Arithmetic Average return | 10.33 | % | |
Geometric average return | 8.10 | % | |
Working Notes: | |||
Stock returns for the last six years | |||
Year 1 | -26% or -0.26 r1 | ||
Year 2 | 12% or 0.12 r2 | ||
Year 3 | 34% or 0.34 r3 | ||
Year 4 | -8% or - 0.08 r4 | ||
Year 5 | 27% or 0.27 r5 | ||
Year 6 | 23% or 0.23 r6 | ||
Arithmetic Average return | |||
=(sum of all returns/ No period taken) | |||
= (r1 + r2 + r3 + r4 + r5 + r6)/6 | |||
= (-26% + 12% + 34% + (-8%)+ 27% + 23%)/6 | |||
= 62%/6 | |||
=10.3333333% | |||
=10.33% | |||
Geometric average return | |||
=((1+r1) x ( 1+ r2) x ( 1 +r3) x (1+ r4) x (1+r5) x (1 + r6))^(1/6) - 1 | |||
=(( 1- 0.26) x ( 1 + 0.12) x (1+ 0.34) x (1- 0.08) x (1 + 0.27) x ( 1 + 0.23) )^(1/6) - 1 | |||
=1.081040256 - 1 | |||
=0.081040256 | |||
=8.10% | |||
Notes: | Both the average returns are relevant in different cases like arithmetic method is used expected return of next period while Geometric is better measure of the change in wealth over the period. | ||
