Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The formula for holding period is:

(Future value/present value) - 1

Future value = $42 per share

Present Value = $5 per share

(42/5) - 1

=8.4 - 1

7.4

Expressed as a percentage:

740%

B. Annual return on investment

(1+AHP)^(1/n) - 1

Where AHP is the annual holding period

n is the number of years

[(1+7.4)^(1/8)] - 1

[8.4^ 0.125] - 1

1.3048 - 1

0.3048

Expressed as a percentage

30.48%
