Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year           Beginning-of-Year Price         Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015                            $130                                            $5

2016                              144                                               5

2017                              120                                               5

2018                              125                                               5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

Verizon [17]
The answer is he is not part of the labor force. Since the labor force is comprises of the employed and the unemployed. The remainder— persons who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force. This group comprises retired persons, students, those taking care of children or other family members, and others who are neither working nor seeking work.
