Question 12. Holding Period Return
A stock has had returns of 12.79, 9.21, 14.68, 21.83, and −10.34 percent over the past 5 years,
respectively. What was the holding period return for the stock?
Holding period return = (1+ R1 ) ´ (1+ R2 ) ´ (1+ R3 ) ´ (1+ R4 ) x (1+R5) −1
= (1+12.79%) x (1+9.21%) x (1+14.68%) x (1+21.83%) x (1-10.34%) - 1
= 0.543 or 54.3%
Question 20. Arithmetic and Geometric Returns
