a. $39.40 per share

b. 8.63%

Explanation:

a. The computation of the NAV of the fund is shown below:

= (Assets - liabilities) : (Number of outstanding shares)

= ($200 million - $3 million) : (5 million shares)

= ($197 million) : (5 million shares)

= $39.40 per share

b. The computation of the premium or discount as a percent of NAV is shown below:

Since the selling price is $36 but its NAV is $39.40

So, the discount would be equal to

= $39.40 - $36

= $3.40

The discount percentage equals to

= $3.40 : $39.40

= 8.63%
