Answer:
B. -21.85%.
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual return on the stock
First step is to calculate the Number of periods
Number of periods = 2 * 365 days in a year
Number of periods= 730
Second Step is to calculate the Daily return using this formula
Daily return = (Future value / initial value)^1/n - 1
Let plug in the formula
Daily return = (26.85 / 41.57)^1/730 - 1
Daily return = (0.645898)^1/730 - 1
Daily return = 0.999401 - 1
Daily return = -0.00059861*100
Daily return = -0.059861%
Last step is to calculate annual return
Using this formula
Annual return=Daily return/ Numbers of days in a year
Annual return = -0.059861% * 365
Annual return = -21.85%
Therefore the annual return on the stock if returns are compounded daily will be 21.85%
