Answer:
HPR = holding period Return is 20%
Explanation:
- Given original Investment = $100
- Short sale proceeds for 1 share = $100
- Investment made of $100 + short sale proceeds of $100 at 5% YTM.
- So Maturity Value = Investment x (1+YTM)^number of years
- = 200 x (1 + 0.05)^1 = 210
- Therefore, In order to cover Short sale of 1 share, we will have to buy 1 share at a closing value of $90
- As such, holding period Return = (Investment proceeds from ZCB - Buying price of stock - Investment amount) / Investment Amount
- = (210 - 90 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 or 20%
- Hence, HPR = holding period Return is 20%
