Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.

What will be an ideal response?


No, the statement does not make sense. When interest is compounded, the annual return cannot be obtained by dividing the total return by the number of years. An APY of 6% for 10 years would have given an accumulated amount of P(1 + 0.06)10 which comes to 1.79P, a total return of 79% not 60%. In fact, the annual return corresponding to a total return of 60% over 10 years would be 1.61/10 - 1 which comes to 4.8%.
