      Solution

      • The Holding Period Return (HPR) is the total return earned from holding an asset over a specific period.
        Formula: HPR = [(Ending Value - Beginning Value) + Income] / Beginning Value
        Here:
        • Beginning Value (Purchase Price) = ₹100
        • Ending Value (Sale Price) = ₹110
        • Income (Dividend) = ₹5
          HPR = [(110 - 100) + 5] / 100
          HPR = [10 + 5] / 100
          HPR = 15 / 100 =  0.15 or 15% .
