单项选择题
James Investments is calculating an unweighted (equally-weighted) index on a four stock portfolio. Use the following information to calculate the value of the index using the geometric and arithmetic mean.()
A.0.25
B.3.025
C.1.277
答案
参考答案:C
解析:
First calculate the return relatives and then find the mean of the relatives. The number of shares is irrelevant in this question.
Arithmetic average: 5/5=1; 12.5/10=1.25; 10/7.50=1.33; 8/5=1.60
(1+1.25+1.33+1.60)/4=1.295
Geometric mean: 5/5=1; 12.5/10=1.25; 10/7.50=1.33; 8/5=1.60
(1×1.25×1.33×1.60)1/4=1.277
