IPS: Return Calculation include, return, assets

RoastBeef

When you have a portfolio of assets as follows:

Stocks = $100,000
Bonds = $200,000
Home = $350,000

What is your portfolio size used in return calculations?

When or when do you not include the home in your calculations?

Btw Paraguay, when you say your scores and you don't use partial credit...... lets say there was an example where for 4 marks you have to describe 2 advantages, but you only got 1..... do you get 2/4 still in your method? Or if its the agree / disagree + explain and you got 2 of them right and 1 wrong... do you give 0/9 or 6/9?

Doesn't change anything, but I was just curious what your definition was.

If you get 2 right of 3. 2/3 multiplied by total minutes.

It's more of it you right something that isn't dead to the book. I don't give partial credit.
