| gravy | Is this right? I thought it was 60-50+0 / 60 = 16.67% Thanks |
| gravy | Never mind. I see it should be 65-50+0/ 50 = 20% Thanks |
| TopCat | either... =(60/50)-1 or =(60-50+0)/50 |
| studyprep | Dont forget return could be negative or positive. That is ending value could be lower or greater than the starting value. Also, the denominator is a starting value. Also if you are a buyer you might receive dividend D. Add it in the total before the division process. |
| Gooner7 | if you miss this question you may want to consider a different occupation |
| papajeff | Gooner - You are too kind. |
| walterli | (60-50)/50 |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
