Loaded-Up Fund $ Economy Fund $Explanation / Answer
Note: Both parts are separate & independent. So as per rule I am answering first part including both questions of Part-1.
Part – 1;
(a). NAV of the fund = $55.20
Explanation;
NAV = (Current worth of portfolio – Liabilities) / Outstanding shares
Current worth of portfolio = $280000000
Liabilities = $4000000
Outstanding shares = 5000000
Thus NAV will be ($280000000 – $4000000) / 5000000 = $55.20
(b). Discount as a percent of NAV = 5.80% (Approx.)
Explanation;
Current selling price = $52 per share
NAV = $55.20
Discount ($52 - $55.20) = $3.20 per share
Discount as a percent of NAV ($3.20 * 100 / $55.20) = 5.797% or 5.80% (Approx.)
