Hello,
This is for my Finance class. I am trying to find the monthly return of some stocks. I have the Opening Price and the Closing price for each month. I have calculated the monthly return using this formula:
(Closing Price - Starting Price) / Starting Price
Is this the accurate formula? Here is the data and my answers for the first few months. Are they correct?
Opening | Closing | Return |
56.30 | 60.71 |
.0783 |
60.95 | 55.98 | -.0815 |
55.92 | 55.57 | -.0063 |
55.65 | 57.62 | .0354 |
Thank you!
Opening | Closing | Return |
56.3 | 60.71 | 7.83% |
60.95 | 55.98 | -8.15% |
55.92 | 55.57 | -0.63% |
55.65 | 57.62 | 3.54% |
