A. B. C. D. E.C
Remember that the dollar-weighted rate of return uses the IRR equation in the determination of the answer. In fact, the dollar-weighted rate of return is another name for the IRR equation, and this nomenclature is commonly used within the field of investment management. So said, in the determination of the dollar- weighted rate of return calculation, the first step should be to identify the cash flows for each period, beginning with t0: the initial investment outlay. In this example, the initial cash outlay is not specified, and therefore the calculation of the dollar-weighted rate of return cannot accurately be determined.
