Answer:
Dollar profit/loss= $4.6
Holding period of return = 9.68%
Explanation:
Janet bought a share of stock for $47.50
Dividend paid is $0.72
The stock was sold later at $51.38
The first step is to calculate the dollar profit/loss
= stock after a year - cost of stock + dividend paid
= $51.38 - $47.50- $0.72
= $4.6
The holding period return can be calculated as follows
= dollar profit/loss ÷ purchasing price of stock
= 4.6/47.50
= 0.0968×100
= 9.68 %
