Explanation:
The correct answer is B.
Step 1. Break the evaluation period into two periods based on timing of cashflows:
Holding period 1:
Begging price: $100
Dividend received: $3.0
Ending Price: $110
Holding period 2:
Begging price: $220 (2 shares)
Dividend received: $6.0 (2 shares)
Ending Price: $240 (2 shares)
Step 2. Calculate the holding period return, HPR, for each period:
Period 1:
Period 2:
Step 3. Calculate the total return for the entire period:
Step 4. Compute the annualized time-weighted rate of return
or $12.49%$
