HPR on the bond is 17.1%

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

Interest received = $32.0

Initial Value = $921.95

Today value = 1,047.64

HPR = Income + [ (End of period value - Initial Value) / initial value ]

HPR = Interest received + [ (Today value - Initial Value) / initial value ]

HPR = [ $32.0 + (1047.64 - 921.95) / 921.95 ]

HPR = [ $32.0 + (1047.64 - 921.95) / 921.95 ]

HPR = 157.69 / 921.95

HPR = 0.171

HPR = 17.1%
