Answer:
a. 2005 2006 2007 2008
Holding period return 10% -7.27% 5.88% -100
b. Geometric average return = -100
c. Dollar weighted return= -2.70%
Explanation:
Holding period return = [tex]\frac{income+(end period value - original value)}{original value}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{o + ( 55 - 50)}{50}[/tex] * 100
= 10%
geometric average return = (( 1+r)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)*(1+r4))^1/4 - 1
dollar weighted return = (initial investment + additions) / (initial investment -withdrawals)
= ( 5000+ 2750)/(5000-3825-4050)
= 7750/-2875
=
