You make a 5 year investment. The investment returns in each of
the 5 years are: 3%, 10%, -15%, 0%, and 25% What is the holding
period return of your stock investment? What is the arithmetic mean
annual return of the investment? What is geometric mean annual
return of the investment?
If the order of the returns were reversed (so 25%, 0%, -15%,
10%, 3%), would the ending value of your investment be
different?
