A pension fund that begins with $500,000 earns 15% the first year and 10% the second year. At the beginning of the second year, the sponsor contributes another $300,000. The dollar-weighted and time-weighted rates of return, respectively, were

Respuesta :

Answer:

time-weighted   12.5%

dollar-weighted 12%

Explanation:

time-weighted:

[tex]\sqrt{1.15 + 1.10} - 1 = 0.124722188 = 12.5[/tex]

Dollar-value

Return on dollars

[tex]500,000 \times 1.15 \times 1.10\\ = 632,500\\[/tex]

[tex]300,000 \times 1.1 = 330,000[/tex]

Present value of the return

[tex](632,500 + 330,000) \div (1+r)^2[/tex]

Present value of the investment:

[tex]500,000 + 300,000 \div (1+r)[/tex]

Both this concepts should match as they work with the same weighted rate

[tex]500,000 + 300,000 /(1+r) \times (1+r)^2 = 962,500\\500,000 (1+r)^2 + 300,000 (1+r) - 962,500 = 0[/tex]

We use cuadratic equation and solve getting a rate of 12%
