Explanation:

Given that,

Net asset value = $12.90

By year-end net asset value = $12.30

Fund paid year-end distributions of income and capital gains = $1.40

change in NAV:

= By year-end net asset value - Net asset value

= $12.30 - $12.90

= - $0.6

Rate of Return:

= (change in net asset value + Distributions) : Start of Year net asset value

= (-$0.6 + $1.40) : $12.90

= 0.8 : $12.90

= 0.06201 or 6.201%
