Study Notes
Return on Assets
- Two components of return on any asset: income and capital appreciation
Holding Period Return (HPR)
- HPR stands for Holding Period Return in the context of rates of returns
- Formula to calculate HPR: ((Current Price - Initial Price + Dividend) / Initial Price) or ((P1 - P0 + D) / P0)
Arithmetic Average Return
- Calculated by averaging the returns over multiple periods
- Formula: (Sum of Returns over multiple periods) / Number of periods
- Example: If an investment has the following returns: Year 1: 5%, Year 2: -3%, Year 3: 4%, Year 4: 5%, the arithmetic annual return is: (5 + (-3) + 4 + 5) / 4 = 11 / 4 = 2.75%
Example Problem
- If the stock price for Stock A was $10 per share 1 year ago, and is currently trading at $9.50 per share with shareholders receiving a $1 dividend, the return earned over the past year is: ((9.50 - 10 + 1) / 10) = 0.50 / 10 = 5%
