Explanation:
The holding period return is:
= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95
= 7.66%
The annualized return is:
= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)
= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)
= 6.79%

Answer: whether the customers hold a very positive or weak attitude toward the product
Explanation:
A consumer who buys a product based on inertia is a consumer who buys a product he/she isn't familiar with but is attracted to purchase, therefore no strong link between the consumer and product. While a consumer who purchases a product he/she is loyal to has a very strong connection to that product.
