Answer: 5.725%; 5.55%

Explanation:

The arithmetic average or mean is the sum of a collection of numbers that is divided by the count of the numbers in the collection.

Arithmetic average = Total return ÷ total time period

=(5.1+12.2-3.8+9.4) ÷ 4

= 22.9 ÷ 4

= 5.725%

Geometric average will be:

=[(1+rate1)(1+rate2)(1+rate3)(1+rate4)]^(1/4) - 1

=[(1+0.051)(1+0.122)(1-0.038)(1+0.094)]^(1/4)-1

=5.55%

I just want to know if my answer is correct
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": 20% of income.

Explanation:

The percentage of savings of people will directly depend on their income. Employees earning the minimum wage are likely to use the most of their salary paying bills which will give them few to no opportunity for saving. On the other hand, executives with annual income above the average have more chances to save a good percentage of the money they receive monthly according to their expenses.

However, for a person who receives an average salary that allows covering expenditure and having some free money a bank account, at least should be saving 20% of that income. Besides, according to the 50/20/30 budget rule, <em>50% of the salary should be spent on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% on savings</em>.
