For the average return problems, enter your answers in percentage format (e.g. enter 12.5% as 12.50 rather than .125)

For the holding period return problems, enter your answers as percentage values; in other words, convert your decimal format of holding period return to percentage return format (e.g. a formula result of 2.25 should be converted to 225%)

For the expected return problems, enter your answers as percentage values (e.g. enter 7.50% as 7.50 and not as 0.075)
