    Explanation:

    Given Data

    Invested capital = $100,000

    Stock price during purchase = £50

    Exchange rate = $.50/$1.00

    Selling rate after 1 year = £45

    Exchange rate = $.60/$1.00

    HPR = gain / pain * 100

    = $50,000 * $1.00/$.55 + $10,000 * $1.00 / $.60 - $100,000 / $100,000 * 100%

    = $50,000 * $1.812 + $10,000 * $1.667 - $100,000 / $100,00 * 100%

    = $90,909.09 + $16666.67 - $100,000 / $100,000 * 100

    = $7575.76 / $100,000 * 100%

    = 0.0757576 * 100%

    = 7.58%
