Answer:

1103.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the investment at the end of the year assuming 250 trading days per year can be computed the future value formula provided below:

FV=PV*(1+daily return)^n

PV=initial investment=$100

daily return=reinvestment rate=1%

n=number of trading days in a year=250

FV=$100*(1+1%)^250

FV=$ 1,203.22

Annual return=( 1,203.22/$100)-1

Annual return=1103.22%
