a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b-1. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b-2. What is the dollar-weighted rate of return? (Hint: If your calculator cannot calculate internal rate of return, you will have to use a spreadsheet or trial and error.) (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
