To determine: The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for four years.
Introduction:
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) refers to the return after compounding the average returns for multiple years.
b)
To determine: The average annual
Introduction:
Average annaul return refers to the returns that an investment earns in an average year over different periods.
c)
To discuss: The better measure of the investment’s of past performance.

- Suppose you have a project that has a .7 chance of doubling your investment in a year and a .3 chance of halving your investment in a year. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment?arrow_forwardAn investment has an expected return of 12 percent per year with a standard deviation of 6 percent. Assuming that the returns on this investment are at least roughly normally distributed, what percentage of the time do you expect to lose money?arrow_forwardTwo investments generated the following annual returns (refer to image): a. What is the average annual return on each investment?b. What is the standard deviation of the return on investments X and Y?c. Based on the standard deviation, which investment was riskier?arrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardAnnual rate of return refers to the percentage at which an investment will generate profits or gains over a period of timearrow_forwardConsider an investment for which the expected returns are normally distributed with an expected return of 11% and an annual standard deviation (SD) of 12%. What is the probability that during a given year an investor would earn a return that is: a. greater than -1%?b. lower than -1%c. lower than -13%d. greater than 11%?e. greater than 23%?f. greater than 35%?arrow_forward
- c. If the historical annual returns of an Investment in various Economic Conditions (with their respective probabilities) over the last 35 years are the following, what is the Expected Return on that investment? Expected Real Economic Propabilities Returns Conditions Poor Normal Вoom 4% 0.25 11% 0.4 17% 0.35arrow_forwardAssume that there is a positive linear correlation between the variable R (return rate in percent of a financial investment) and the variable t(age in years of the investment) given by the regression equation R=2.5t+5.3. (a) Without further information, can we assume there is a cause and effect relationship between the return rate and the age of the investment? (b) If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, what is the expected return rate when the investment is 7 years old? (c) If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, how old is the investment when the return rate is 32.8%?arrow_forwardYou are looking at an investment that has an effective annual rate of 14 percent. (show answers and excel formula equations) a. What is the effective semiannual return? b. What is the effective quarterly return? c. What is the effective monthly return?arrow_forward

Select one: O a. An investment that has a 9 percent quoted rate with quarterly compounding. O b. An investment that has a 9 percent quoted rate with semiannual compounding. O c. An investment that has an 8.9 percent quoted rate with monthly compounding. O d. An investment that has a 9.2 percent quoted rate with annual compounding. O e. An investment that has an 8.9 percent quoted rate with quarterly compounding.arrow_forward
