Module 12Investment Management and Corporate FinanceA share closed at RM2.10, RM2.14, RM2.12, RM2.18 and RM2.20 over five sessions. What is its 5-day simple moving average?
A simple moving average adds the last n closes and divides by n: (2.10 + 2.14 + 2.12 + 2.18 + 2.20) ÷ 5 = 10.74 ÷ 5 = RM2.148. RM2.150 averages only the first and last closes. RM2.167 is the 3-day average of the latest three closes. RM2.200 is simply the last close, which is not an average.
