After taking a beating in the market, XYZ Inc. decides to execute a reverse stock split to keep from being delisted from the stock exchange. If you buy $1000$ shares of stock that is trading for $$1\mathrm{.}75$ per share prior to the split and it splits $1-$for$-10$ and pays a post$-$split dividend of $$0\mathrm{.}50/$share a month later, what is the the holding period return for this stock if it closes at $$20\mathrm{.}88/$share$?$

Hint: # of shares pre$-$split $=1000$; post$-$split $=100$
