Answer:
weighted return = 0.0781 = 7.81%
Explanation:
Given data:
stock cost is $50
dividend on stock is $2
cost of new stock $53
share dividend cost from 2 year now = $2
total selling cost for both stock is $54
holding period return for 1st year
[tex]HPR_1 = \frac{(53 - 50) + 2}{50} = 0.10 = 10[/tex]%
[tex]HPR_2 =\frac{(53 - 50) + 2*2}{2*53} = 0.0566 = 5.66[/tex]%
weighted return [tex]= [(1 +HPR_1) *(1 +HPR_2)]^{1/2} -1[/tex]
weighted return [tex]= [(1+ 0.10) *(1+0.0566)]^{1/2} -1[/tex]
weighted return = 0.0781 = 7.81%
