    Explanation:

    The holding period return is a measure of the aggregate returns from holding an investment over a period of time. Returns include an appreciation in the value of the investment plus other gains such as dividends. The formula for calculating the holding period is as follows.

    Holding Period return = Income + (Vn - Vo)

    Vo

    Where

    Income represents interests, dividends and other earning

    Vn is the ending value of the investment

    Vo is the beginning value of the investment

    For George, Holding period return will be

    HPR = 1.10 + ($54.0 - $47.50)

    $47.50

    HPR = $1.10 + $ 6.5

    $47.5

    HPR = $7.6/$47.5 x 100

    HPR=0.16 x 100

    HPR = 16%
