Answer: 6.79%

Explanation:

The holding period return is:

= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price

= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95

= 7.66%

The annualized return is:

= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)

= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)

= 6.79%
