Stock 1 Annual holding period returns=13.73%

Stock 2 Annual holding period returns=(1.46-1.35+0)/1.35

Stock 2 Annual holding period returns=0.11/1.35

Stock 2 Annual holding period returns=0.0815*100

Stock 2 Annual holding period returns=8.15%

Bond 1 Annual holding period returns =(1,058-1,030+42)/1,030
