Answer 1

Solution

63. % Return= (Closing value for year X/Closing value for Year(X-1))-1

For year 2015-16

Return= 15.3931/ 15.6611-1= -1.71%

64. 2016-2017

% Return= 18.7517/15.3931-1= 21.82%

65. 2017-2018

Return= 19.1819/18.7517-1= 2.29%

66. 2018-19

Return= 21.3294/ 19.1819-1=11.20%

67 Amount invested= $1500

Number of units= Amount invested/Price of 1 unit= 1500/15.6611= 95.78 units

68 Price of unit in 2019= 21.3294

Total selling price = Number of units* Price of 1 unit in 2019= 95.78*21.3294= 2042.902

Capital Gain= 2042.902-1500= $542.9

69. Capital Gain on investment= 2042.902/1500-1= 36.19%

70. Average annual rate of Return= 36.19/4= 9.04%

None of these is the answer
