What is the arithmetic average time-weighted rates of return for the investor? (Do not round intermediate
calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal number rounded to four decimal places)
Arithmetic average time-weighted rates of return?
Answer : 2.69
Calculation :
Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years
Yearly Return = {(capital gains + dividend)/price}*100
Return from 2010-2011 = {(135 - 124) + 4} /124 *100 = 12.10%
Return from 2011-2012 = {(115 - 135) + 4} /135 *100 = -11.85%
Return from 2012-2013 = {(120 - 115) + 4} /115 *100 = 7.83%%
Arithmetic mean = (12.10% -11.85% +7.83%)/3 = 8.08%/3 = 2.69%
