Answer 1

Answer: The effective semiannual return is = 6,91 percent.

The effective quarterly return is= 3,40 percent.

The effective monthly return is = 1,12 percent.

Explanation:

The effective semiannual return is: $( 1 + 0,143 ) ^{\frac{6}{12} } - 1 = 6,91$ percent.

The effective quarterly return is: $( 1 + 0,143 ) ^{\frac{3}{12} } - 1 = 3,40$ percent.

The effective monthly return is: $( 1 + 0,143 ) ^{\frac{1}{12} } - 1 = 1,12$ percent.
