    Holding Period return is 6.25%

    Explanation:

    The return received on the asset in the period in which it is held is called holding period return. It included the interest / dividend received and change in the initial price and current price.

    According to given data

    Initial Price of stock = $48

    Expected Value in coming year = $46

    Expected Dividend = $5

    Formula for Holding Period Return

    HPR = [ Income + [ (Expected value - Initial Value) ] / initial value

    HPR = [ Expected Dividend + [ (Expected value - Initial Value) ] / initial value

    HPR = [ $5 + ($46 - $48) ] / $48

    HPR = [ $5 - $2 ] / $48

    HPR = $3 / $48

    HPR = 0.0625 = 6.25%
