On the basis of this information, find the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016.

The annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

Explanation:

In order to Calcualte the Holding Period Return for 2012 through 2016

we would have to use and calculate the following formula :

HPR = [(P1-P0) +D] / P0

P0 = Beginning value of stock = $39.26

P1 = The closing value of stock = $111.07

D = Dividends received during the year =($0.75 + $0.99 + $0.96 + $1.65 + $2.05) = $6.40

Substituting all the values in the formula , we will get Holding period return

HPR = [($111.07 - $39.26) + $6.40] / $39.26

= $78.21/ $39.26

= 1.9921

= 199.21%

Therefore, the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%
