Answer: 1.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Holding period return will be calculated as:

= (Selling price + Interest received - purchase price)/purchase price

Where Selling price = $980,

Interest Received = $16

Purchase price = $985

Thus Holding period return = (980+16-985)/985

= 11/985

= 0.0111

= 1.11%
