The attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporations and Landry Incorporateds stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends.

a. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then calculate average returns over the five-year period. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index. Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2015 because you do not have 2014 data.)
Data as given in the problem are shown below:
	Goodman Industries		Landry Incorporated		Market Index
Year	Stock Price	Dividend	Stock Price	Dividend	Includes Divs.
2020	$30.32	$2.23	$85.12	$3.52	18,475.97
2019	$23.53	$2.65	$79.32	$3.65	12,174.55
2018	$28.61	$2.73	$74.32	$3.45	12,019.97
2017	$15.21	$2.57	$87.12	$3.47	10,743.05
2016	$12.63	$2.23	$95.12	$3.55	9,455.42
2015	$13.21	$2.25	$84.25	$3.25	8,163.96
We now calculate the rates of return for the two companies and the index:
	Goodman	Landry	Index
2020
2019
2018
2017
2016
Average
Note: To get the average, you could get the column sum and divide by 5, but you could also use the function wizard, fx. Click fx, then statistical, then Average, and then use the mouse to select the proper range. Do this for Goodman and then copy the cell for the other items.
