@JosephG1993 you are right: it's not helpful

e^15% = 1.16, or in Excel same thing:

EXP(15%) = 1.16

amiregistered,

Thanks for your encouragement. I teach the entire FRM (risk) curriculum, so i definitely have advanced material to share. I just wanted to start with elementary concepts because my customers often request it...if you stay tuned , I promise over time i will get to advanced quant finance!

... what? this is not INTRO!!!!

[msbrandonking]

@XxFightinDirtyxX its compounded a certian amount of times. for example 5% of $10 is .50 but 5% of 10.50$ is .525 and so on.

Arithmetic Return (R)

 This is for one time period:

R = (Pt+1

- Pt + D) / Pt

R = Arithmetic Return

Pt+1 = Closing share price

Pt = Opening share price

D = Dividends

I just cannot get my head around this... Can anyone help me

Hmm when i used this compound interest formula: P(1+r/100)^n i got 11.576(5 s.f) thats like so far away from the answer ... can anyone tell me why?
