Answer:

Holding period return = 4.94%

Explanation:

Given that :

Allan purchased 800 shares of stock on margin for $31

And He sold it at the rate of $33.50 after five months.

Initial Margin requirement = 65%

Maintenance Margin = 30%

Interest Rate on Margin loan = 7.5%

The Holding period return can therefore be calculated by the formula:

Holding period return =  (sale price - purchase price - interest paid )/Purchase price

where ;

31 × 800 = 24800

Interest for five month = 5/12

Holding period return = (33.50-31)×800 - (7.5% ×24800× 5/12) / 24800

Holding period return = (2000-775)/24800

Holding period return = 0.0494

Holding period return = 4.94%
