Question

Consider a mutual fund with $300 million in assets at the start of the year and 12 million shares outstanding. If the gross return on assets is 18% and the total expense ratio is 2% of the year-end value, what is the rate of return on the fund?
A 15.64%
B 16%
C 17.25%
D 17.5%

Answer 1

Answer:

A 15.64%

Explanation:

300*1.18 = 354

354*0.02 = 7.08

354 - 7.08 = 346.92

rate of return = 346.92/300

                      = 15.64%

Therefore, The rate of return on the fund is 15.64%
