    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%
