Question

Louis purchased $5,000 worth of stock three years ago and sold it today for $7,000. He received no dividends from this investment. Inflation averaged 4% during the three years he owned the stock. What was his annualized real rate of return on this investment?

Answer 1

9.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine his annualized real rate of return on this investment

Annualized real rate of return=[($7,000-$5,000/ ($5000*3) *100] -4%

Annualized real rate of return=13.33%-4%

Annualized real rate of return = 9.33%

Therefore his annualized real rate of return on this investment will be 9.33%
