Respuesta :

Answer:

George’s holding period return is 16%.

Explanation:

holding period return = (End value-Beginning value + Dividends)/Beginning value  

                                     = (54 - 47.5 + 1.1)/47.5

                                     = 16%

Therefore, George’s holding period return is 16%.
