You put up $80 at the beginning of the year for an investment. The value of the investment grows 2% and you earn a dividend of $8.00. Your HPR was ____. |
10.0%
12.0%
8.0%
2.0%
Holding period return is calculated using the below formula:
HPR= Selling price – purchase price + dividend/ Purchase price
= Purchase price*(1 + growth rate) - purchase price + dividend/ Purchase price
= $80*(1 + 0.02) - $80 + $8/ $80
= $81.60 - $80 + $8/ $80
= $1.60 + $8/ $80
= $9.60/ $80
= 0.12*100
= 12%.
Hence, the answer is option b.
