Solution to QUESTION-51

The average return on the stock over this five-year period

The average return on the stock over this five-year period is calculated by dividing the total returns over the period by the total number of years or periods

The average return on the stock over this five-year period = Total Returns / Number of years

= [2.65% + 7.38% - 1.30% - 3.43% + 16.32%] / 5 Years

= 21.62% / 5 Years

= 4.32%
