The returns from an investment are 2% in Year 1, 5% in Year 2, and 21.8% in the first half of Year 3. Calculate the annualized return for the entire period. (Round your intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Annualized return 9.26 %

Step 1
For Year 1, the return is 2%, so the multiplier is 1 + 0.02 = 1.02. For Year 2, the return is 5%, so the multiplier is 1 + 0.05 = 1.05. For the first half of Year 3, the return is 21.8%, so the multiplier is 1 + 0.218 = 1.218. Since the return for Year 3 is Show more…

Use the compound interest formulas $A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}$ and $A=P e^{n t}$ to solve.$ Round answers to the nearest cent. Suppose that you have $\$ 12,000$ to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 3 years: $7 \%$ compounded monthly or $6.85 \%$ compounded continuously?
