You put up $50 at the beginning of the year for an investment. The value of the investment grows 5.0%, and you earn a dividend of $4.4. What was your holding period return (HPR)?
Enter answer in percents, accurate to two decimal places.
Dividend yield=Dividend/Beginning value
=4.4/50
=8.8%
Hence holding period return=(End value-Beginning value+Dividend)/Beginning value
=Dividend yield+Capital gains yield
=(8.8+5)
=13.8%
