Consider a no-load mutual fund with $390 million in assets and 15 million shares at the start of the year and with $440 million in assets and 16 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $4 per share and capital gain distributions of $0.25 per share.

    Explanation:

    The computation of rate of return on the fund is shown below:-

    Net assets value at the beginning = Total assets : Number of shares

    = $390 million : 15 million

    = $26 million

    Net assets value at the end of the year = (Total assets - Expenses) : Number of shares

    = ($440 million - ($440 million * 2%)) : 16 million

    = ($440 million - $8.8 million) : 16 million

    = $26.95 million

    Now,

    Rate of return = (Net assets value at the end of the year - Net assets value at the end of the year + Income distribution + Capital gain distribution) : Net assets value at the beginning

    = ($26.95 million - $26 million + $4 per share + $0.25 per share) : $26 million

    = $5.2 million : $26 million

    = 20%
