Question
An investor buys a stock at ₹100. After one year, he
receives a dividend of ₹5 and sells the stock for ₹110. His holding period return (in %) is: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% .
