Chapter 13, Problem 7FPE

Assume that one year ago, you bought 240 shares of a mutual fund for $27 per share and that you received an income dividend of $0.34 cents per share and a capital gain distribution of $1.07 per share during the past 12 months. Also assume the market value of the fund is now $29.50 a share. Calculate the total return for this investment if you were to sell it now. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

The Damon Investment Company manages a mutual fund composed mostly of speculative stocks. You recentlysaw an ad claiming that investments in the funds have been earning a rate of return of 21%. This rate seemedquite high so you called a friend who works for one of Damon’s competitors. The friend told you that the21% return figure was determined by dividing the two-year appreciation on investments in the fund by theaverage investment. In other words, $100 invested in the fund two years ago would have grown to $121 ($21 ÷$100 = 21%).Required:Discuss the ethics of the 21% return claim made by the Damon Investment Company.Sally Hamilton has performed well as the chief financial officer of the Maxtech Computer Company and hasearned a bonus.

Twelve months ago, you purchased the shares of a no-load mutual fund for $22.05 per share. The fund distributed cash dividends of $0.70 and capital gains of $1.30 per share. If the net asset value of the fund is currently $24.45, what was your annual return on the investment? Round your answer to two decimal places.   % If the value of the shares had been $21.14, what would have been your annual return? Round your answer to two decimal places.   %

A year​ ago, an investor bought 400 shares of a mutual fund at ​$7.52 per share. This​ year, the fund has paid dividends of $0.77 per share and had a capital gains distribution of ​$0.53 per share. a. Find the​ investor's holding period​ return, given that this​ no-load fund now has a net asset value of ​$8.15. b. Find the holding period​ return, assuming all the dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested into additional shares of the fund at an average price of ​$7.82 per share.

One year ago you bought 100 shares of a mutual fund for $14.50 per share, and you received a $0.52 per - share capital gain distribution during the past 12 months. The fund has an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.35 percent and an expense ratio of 1.65 percent. The market value of the fund is now $18. Calculate the total dollar return for this investment if you were to sell it now. (Convert and round to 2 decimals) Calculate the total percentage return for this investment if you were to sell it now. (Convert and round to 1 decimal)

A good stock-based mutual fund should earn at least 10% per year over a long period of time. Consider the case of Barney and Lynn, who were overheard gloating (for all to hear) about how well they had done with their mutual fund investment. “We turned a $25,000 investment of money in 1982 into $100,000 in 2007.” Solve, a. What return (interest rate) did they really earn on their investment? Should they have been bragging about how investment-savvy they were? b. Instead, if $1,000 had been invested each year for 25 years to accumulate $100,000, what return did Barney and Lynn earn?

Suppose that at the beginning of Year 1 you invested $10,000 in the Stivers mutual fund and $5000 in the Trippi mutual fund. The value of each investment at the end of each subsequent year is provided in the table below. Which mutual fund performed better?  Please show steps in Excel Year                                  Stivers                      Trippi 1                                     11,000                       5,600 2                                     12,000                       6,300 3                                     13,000                       6,900 4                                     14,000                       7,600 5                                     15,000                       8,500 6                                     16,000                       9,200 7                                     17,000                       9,900 8                                     18,000                     10,600

RACE Mutual fund is a no-load fund that had a net asset value of $25.60 1 year ago. Today, the net asset value (NAV) is $28.83. During the year, dividends of $0.72 were paid out, and a capital gain distribution of $0.65 was made. Calculate the approximate yield for RACE. (Show all work.)

Now imagine that you bought a mutual fund that had a beginning NAV of $10 per share. It paid dividends of $0.50 and distributed capital gains of $0.75. After one year, the ending NAV is $9.50.What is your total return?
