Respuesta :

Answer:

2.58%

Explanation:

holding period return (HPR) = [(ending value - initial value) + dividends received] / initial value

  • initial value of Petter's portfolio = (100 x $62.85) + (100 x $121.15) = $18,400
  • ending value = (100 x $59.80) + (100 x $127.35) = $18,715
  • dividends received = 100 x $1.60 = $160

HPR = [($18,715 - $18,400) + $160] / $18,400 = $475 / $18,400 = 0.0258 = 2.58%
