Arithmetic and geometric returns problem


CALCULATE THE ARITHMETIC AND GEOMETRIC RETURNS OF THESE NUMBERS:

year   price    dividend
1      $ 44.97     ---
2        47.37    $0.55
3        52.24      0.61
4        47.89      0.57
5        60.00      0.74
6        55.38      0.68

I want to used this formula:

[(1+R1) x(1+R2)x(1+R3)x(1+R4)x(1+R5)x(1+R6)] 1/t -1 t=years

I do not know how to get the annual return. What I did was to add the price and dividend but I think that is wrong.

Same question for this set of numbers:

year price dividend
1 $46.28 ---
2 49.29 .56
3 50.37 .55
4 44.26 .48
5 69.88 .82
6 63.98 .71
