Immediately after this balance is noted, $800 is added to the fund. if there are no further contributions to the fund for the year and the time-weighted annual yield for the fund is 11.1%, what is the fund balance at the end of the year

Answer 1

Answer:

The fund balance at the end of the year is $22,075.

Explanation:

Let X denote the end-of-year balance. During the year, the balance grows as follows

1,205 → 1,230+ ($800) = 2,030

The time-weighted yield rate for the one yearperiod is 11.1%

11.1 = $\frac{1230}{1205}$ * $\frac{X}{2030}$

1230x = 27152265

x =  $\frac{27152265}{1230}$

x = $22,075
