Answer:

C) 9.00; 8.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic rate of return is given by:


R_(A) = (11+3+8+14)/(4) \\R_(A) = 9.00

The geometric rate of return is given by:


R_(G) =  (\sqrt[4]{(1.11*1.03*1.08*1.14)} -1) *100 \%\\R_(G) =  (1.0892-1) *100 \%\\R_(G) =  8.92

Therefore, the arithmetic rate of return is 9.00 percent and the geometric rate of return is 8.92 percent

The answer is C) 9.00; 8.92.
