Answer:
B. 30%
Explanation:
Initial value (Vi) = $120
Final value (Vf) = $150
Dividends paid (D) = $6
The holding period return is defined as the change in value during the year added to the dividends paid and then divided by the initial value:
[tex]HPR = \frac{D+(V_f-V_i)}{V_i} \\HPR = \frac{6+(150-120)}{120}\\HPR = 0.30\ or\ 30\%[/tex]
The stock's annualized holding period return is 30%.
