Answer:

The geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the return for each year.

In the attached excel file, return is calculated using the following formula:

Return = (Current year price - Previous year price) / Previous year price

The formula for calculating the geometric average return is given as follows:

Geometric average return = [(1 + R1)(1 + R2)(1 + R3)...(1 + Rn)]^(1/n) – 1 ……….. (1)

Where;

Ri = Return over the years I, where i = 1, 2, 3, …. n

n = number of years = 3

R1 = 2012 return = 0.10

R2 = 2013 return = -0.0727272727272727

R3 = 0.0588235294117647

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Geometric average return = ((1 + 0.10)(1 - 0.0727272727272727)(1 + 0.0588235294117647))^(1/3) – 1

Geometric average return = (1.10 * 0.927272727272727 * 1.0588235294117647)^(1/3) – 1

Geometric average return = 1.07999999999999^0.333333333333333 - 1

Geometric average return = 1.02598556800602 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.02598556800602 = 0.0260, or 2.60%

Therefore, the geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

        Bonds Payable A/c......................Cr  $420,000

Being the bonds issued

As the bonds are issued by the company so cash is coming into the business, which is an asset and any increase in asset is debited. Therefore, the cash account is debited. And cash is received against the bonds payable, so the account of bonds payable is credited.
