Suppose the rate of return for a particular stock during the past two years was 15% and 50%. Compute the geometric mean rate of return. (Note: A rate of return of 15% is recorded as 0.15, and a rate of return of 50% is recorded as 0.50.) The geometric mean rate of return is _____%.
B. Analyzing Data 11.1: Answer questions #1-4 found on page 258 and below. Compute the missing values of A in the Table below, rounding each estimate to two decimal places. Check that the average (the arithmetic mean, defined below) of the seven values of 2 equals 1.03. If it does not, redo your calculations. Year () Population size Yearly growth rate () 0.80 1.26 1,000 800 1008 796 1,018 763 992 4 Use Equation 10.2 to calculate how large a...
Over the past 10 years, five mutual funds all had the same mean rate of return. The standard deviations for each of the five mutual funds are shown below. Capital Investment: 5.25.2%; Vanity: 9.59.5%; Global Advisor: 7.37.3%; International Equities: 8.38.3%; Nomad: 10.510.5% Which mutual fund was least consistent in rate of return? (This is a reading assessment question. Be certain of your answer because you only get one attempt on this question.) Choose the correct answer below. A. Global AdvisorGlobal...
Calculate the discount factors (present value factors) at 8% for years 1, 2, 3, and 4 (show all work, including equations). What if the discount factor for year 3 above is equal to .900. Would that provide arbitrage opportunities? Explain fully.
(1 point) P of a population P(t) is given in the figure above. By approximately P(t) A graph of the relative growth rate what percentage does the population change over the 9 year period? Answer: %. Clarification: As in Example 1 on page 290 of your textbook, first find factor by which the population has increased, i.e., K = P(9)/P(0), or equivalently, P(9) = Р(9) — Р(0) —D КР(0) KP(0). Then the amount of the increase itself is P(0) (K...

It’s always bacteria with you…. For the past five years, you started out poorly with a huge 17.1% loss in the first year and then you turned it around with a 3.4% growth in the second, a 4.5% increase in the third, a 2.5% increase in the fourth, but then a 6.5% decrease in the fifth year. What is the survival rate for your colony over this time period?
show work 2. Michael has an investment with the following annual returns the past four years: Year 1 12% Year 2 -5% Year 3 8% Year 4 18% What is the arithmetic average return over this four year period? 3. Using the annual returns given in problem 2, What is the geometric return over this four year period?
