"You’ve observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer’s stock over the past five years: 6 percent, –13 percent, 24 percent, 18 percent, and 15 percent. The average inflation rate over this period was 3 percent and the average T-bill rate was 4.35 percent. What was the average real return on the company's stock? [First find average of the nominal returns and use Fisher's equation to find average real return]"

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.80%

Explanation:

The average nominal returns is the sum of the returns for 5 years divided by the number of returns considered( i.e 5, 5 returns for 5 years)

average nominal returns=(6%-13%+24%+18%+15%)/5

average nominal returns=10.00%

The Fisher's equation is shown thus:

(1 + i)  = (1 + r) (1 + π)

i=nominal return=10.00%

r=average real return=the unknown

π=inflation rate=3%

(1+10.00%)=(1+r)*(1+3%)

1.10=(1+r)*1.03

1+1=1.10/1.03

r=(1.10/1.03)-1

r=6.80%
