Explanation:
Step 1
Break the evaluation period into two subperiods based on timing of cash flows:
Holding period 1:
beginning price = $300.00
dividends paid = $5.00
ending price = $320.00
Holding period 2:
beginning price = $640.00 (2 shares)
dividends paid = $10.00 ($5 per share)
ending price = $660.00 (2 shares)
Step 2
Calculate the HPR for each holding period
Step 3
Take the geometric mean of the annual returns to find the annualized time-weighted rate of return over the measurement period.
