1. The rate of return on Starks Inc., stock over the last 5 years was 16%, 11%, -2%, 5%, and 12%. Over the same period, the return on Wayne Inc.’s stock was 16%, 21%, -3%, 5%, and 13%. Calculate the arithmetic and geometric returns for both companies.

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
