15. Consider a no-load mutual fund with $400 million in assets, 50 million in debt, and 15 million shares at the start of the year; and $500 million in assets, 40 million in debt, and 18 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $0.50 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.30 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 0.75%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
12.09%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund
First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV
Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares
Beginning year NAV = 23.33
Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV
Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares
Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]
Ending year NAV =25.35
Now let calculate the return using this formula
Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)
Let plug in the formula
Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33
Return = 12.09%
Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%
