Average can be calculated using mathematical formula of summing all values and dividing by 5.
Average Nominal Return = 8.8960%
Average Real Rate = Average Large Cap - Average CPI = 8.8960% - 1.5160% = 7.3800%
Average Real Risk Premium = Average Real Rate - Average T-bill = 7.38% - 0.57% = 6.8100%
Average risk premium = 8.8960% - 0.57% = 8.3260%
Average inflation = 1.5160%
