An investor purchased a bond 45 days ago for $985. He received $16 in interest and sold the bond for $980. What is the holding-period return on his investment

Respuesta :

Answer: 1.11%

Explanation:

Holding period return will be calculated as:

= (Selling price + Interest received - purchase price)/purchase price

Where Selling price = $980,

Interest Received = $16

Purchase price = $985

Thus Holding period return = (980+16-985)/985

= 11/985

= 0.0111

= 1.11%
