how do I caluclate return on investment, compounded quarterly?
We can calculate the return on investment with no problem. What we want to
do is make the rate compound quarterly, rather than annualy. Is there a way
to do that?
We calculate a $15,000 investment on 1/1/02 worth $25,794 on September 30,
2006, as a 14.95% rate of return. But if we use another program and
compound out quarterly, the return is only about 12%.
