Bill has been adding funds to his investment account each year for the past 3 years. He started with an initial investment of $1

Undeterred, Bill added $2,000 the next year and earned a 2 percent return. Last year, discouraged by the recent results, he only added $500 to his portfolio, but in this final year his investments earned 8 percent.

Answer:

2.96% will be effective rate of the investment

Explanation:

First year:

1,000 x 1 + 10%) = 1,100

<em><u>Second year: </u></em>

1,100 + 3,000 = 4,100 invesmtent balance

4,100 x (1  - 5%) = 3,895

<em><u>Third year:</u></em>

3,895 + 2,000 = 5,895

5,895 x (1 + 2%) = 6012.9

<em><u>Fourth year:</u></em>

6012.9 + 500 = 6512.9

6,512.9 x (1+ 8%)  =  7033.932

We calcualte rate that is equivalent with the following cash flow:

1,000 (1+r)^4 + 3,000  (1+r)^3 +  2,000(1+r)^2 +  500(1+r) = 7,033.93

Suppose you hold a particular investment for 7 months. You calculate that your holding period return is 8.4 percent. What is you
Leni [432]

Answer:

The annualized return is 14.82%

Explanation:

The formula for annualized return is given as Annualized return = (1+ holding return)12/n - 1

Holding return is 8.4%

n is the holding period of 7 months

Annualized return =(1+0.084)^(12/7)-1

Annualized return =14.82%

It is wrong to simply calculate annualized return as 8,4%*12/7,which means one is taking the interest to annual interest by proportional method,as this gives 14.40%, in investment every basis point counts.

The difference between the two figures is 0.42% which could translate into millions depending on the amount invested as well as the duration of investment
