The annual holding period return of an investment that was held for four years is 5.74%. The
ending value of this investment was R1 000. Calculate the beginning value of the investment.
Answer:799.94
Workings
Since the annual holding period yield = 5.74%
Annual HPR = Annual holding period yield + 1
Annual HPR = 0.0574 + 1 = 1.0574
1
Since Annual HPR = HPRn
1
1.0574 = (HPR)4
Therefore, HPR = 1.05744
HPR = 1.250135892
Ending value
Since, HPR = Beginning value
1 000
1.250135892 = Beginning value
Beginning value (1.250135892) = 1 000
1 000
Beginning value = = 799.9130384
