Hi,

I am doing an assignment on the FTSE 100 for my course and have come to a dead on on the following question. I am hoping someone would be able to shed some light to me.

I need to show how to use the 'close' values in order to calculate the monthly 'returns' values of the FTSE 100 index and show what the results mean.

I was given this table:

Date Open High Low Close Volume Adj Close

09/89 2392.1 2407.5 2392.1 2407.5 0 2407.5

10/89 2287.6 2289.30 2271.90 2289.20 0 2289.20

11/89 2146.00 2163.20 2141.70 2160.10 0 2160.10

12/89 2297.30 2313.80 2296.20 2311.10 0 2311.10

Many thanks for this.
