Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
<em>Geometric average return</em>
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923
× 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17
%
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
