Annualize To express a variable in yearly terms even though the variable does not directly apply to a year. That is, an annualized variable has been mathematically converted to yearly terms. For example, if the return rate on an investment is 2% after one month, one computes the annualized return by multiplying by 12, resulting in a 24% return rate. An annualized variable is often theoretical; there is no guarantee that the return rate in the example above will be 12% if it is calculated after a month or two. Annualizing usually does not take into account the effects of compounding. How to thank TFD for its existence?

If we give the MTA a break and annualize the cost of the MTA's capital expenditures using an interest rate of 5 percent per year, and add in operating expenses, then the MTA's five fixed- guideway lines incur a net loss of $575 million per year. If so, there is no need to annualize or otherwise adjust the amount of inclusions for purposes of calculating the base-period inclusion. So if you annualize that, it puts you at a rate that's somewhere around the '96, '97, '98 average timeframe. |
