Preferred reference or book: Finance textbooks (e.g., Brealey, Myers, and Allen)
Expected Number of Cases: 10
Expected Number of Questions per Case: 2-3
The focus of questions on notes: Calculating HPR, Capital Appreciation, Dividend Yield, and Annualized HPR
Notes: Provided notes on Stock A, Stock B, and Stock C
Here are the 10 case studies with increasing difficulty:
**Case 1: Simple HPR**
An investor buys Stock X at $50 and sells it after 12 months for $55. If the stock paid a dividend of $2 per share during the holding period, what is the Holding Period Return?
Follow-up questions:
Question 1. What is the Capital Appreciation in percentage terms?
choices:
a. 10%
b. 12%
c. 15%
d. 20%
Question 2. What is the Dividend Yield?
choices:
a. 2%
b. 4%
c. 5%
d. 6%
**Answer:**
HPR = (Capital Appreciation + Dividend) / Initial Price = ($5 + $2) / $50 = 14%
Capital Appreciation = ($55 - $50) / $50 = 10%
Dividend Yield = $2 / $50 = 4%
**Case 2: HPR with multiple periods**
Stock Y has the following returns: 8% in Year 1, -3% in Year 2, and 12% in Year 3. What is the Holding Period Return?
Follow-up questions:
Question 1. What is the total return after 3 years?
choices:
a. 15%
b. 17%
c. 20%
d. 22%
Question 2. What is the annualized HPR?
choices:
a. 4%
b. 5%
c. 6%
d. 7%
**Answer:**
HPR = (1 + 0.08) \* (1 - 0.03) \* (1 + 0.12) - 1 = 22.48%
Annualized HPR = (1 + 0.2248)^(1/3) - 1 ≈ 7.15%
**Case 3: Capital Appreciation and Dividend Yield**
Stock Z has a price of $80 at the beginning of the holding period and $90 at the end. The stock paid a dividend of $5 per share during the holding period. What is the Capital Appreciation in percentage terms?
Follow-up questions:
Question 1. What is the Dividend Yield?
choices:
a. 5%
b. 6%
c. 7%
d. 8%
Question 2. What is the Holding Period Return?
choices:
a. 12%
b. 15%
c. 18%
d. 20%
**Answer:**
Capital Appreciation = ($90 - $80) / $80 = 12.5%
Dividend Yield = $5 / $80 = 6.25%
HPR = (Capital Appreciation + Dividend) / Initial Price = (12.5% + 6.25%) = 18.75%
