45. If an investor purchases shares in a no load mutual fund for $36, receives cash distributions of $1 and redeems the
shares after one year for $42, what is the percentage return on the investment?
7. Closed-End Investment Companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and Exchange-Traded
Funds (ETFs)
ANSWER:
The percentage return: ($42–36+1)/$36=19.44%
46. The net asset value of shares in a closed-end investment company is $36. An investor buys the shares for $34 in the
secondary market. The company distributes $1 and after one year, the net asset rises to $42. The investor sells the shares
for $44 in the secondary market.
a. What is the discount?
b. What is the percentage return on the investment?
c. In both problems 1 and 2, the investment company’s net asset value rose from $36 to $42 and the company distributed
$1. Why are the percentage returns different?
ANSWER: a. The discount is $36-$34=$2 (5.9% of NAV).
c. The percentage returns differ because initially the closed-end investment company sold for a discount of $2
from net asset value. The closed-end investment company sold for a premium of $2 above net asset value
when the shares were sold. This increase of $4 increased the percentage return on the investment.
47. If an investor buys shares in a closed-end investment company for $46 and the net asset value is $53, what is the
discount? If the company distributes $1, the net asset value rises to $58, and the investor sells the shares for a premium of
5 percent over the net asset value, what is the percentage earned on the investment?
ANSWER:
The discount is $53-46=$7 (The shares initially sell for a discount of $7/53=13.2 percent from net asset value.)
48. A mutual fund’s net asset value is $50, but the fund charges an exit fee of 1 percent of net asset value and a load fee of
4 percent of net asset value. An individual purchases the shares. During the year the fund distributes $2.34. The net asset
value rises to $58.38 and the investor redeems the shares.
a. What is the percentage return the fund can report that was achieved by its portfolio managers?
b. The shares cost $50+.04($50)=$52. When the shares are redeemed, the investor nets $58.38(0.99)=$57.80.
c. The load fee charged when the shares are purchased and the exit fee charged when the shares are redeemed
decrease the return the investor realizes.
49. You buy a REIT for $50 a share. The REIT distributes $3.00 consisting of return of capital. You are in the 30 percent

$3 to $47 ($50-$3), which will be used to determine any capital gain or loss when the shares are sold.
50. An investor bought 100 shares of a REIT for $54 a share and two years later sold the shares for $62. The REIT
annually distributed $4.00 per share ($400) consisting of $2.00 ($200) return of capital, $1.20 ($120) in income, and $0.80
($80) in long-term capital gains. The investor’s income tax bracket is 30 percent. The long-term capital gains tax rate is 15
percent. What is the investor’s second year tax obligation?
ANSWER: The annual distribution was $400 and consisted of
$200 return of capital
$120 income
$80 long-term capital gain.
The tax on the income distribution:
$120×.3=$36
The tax on the long-term capital gain: $80×.15=$12
The tax on the sale (long-term):
Cost basis: $5400-$400=$4800 after reducing the initial cost basis for the $200 return of capital for each of the
two years (a total of $400)
Capital gain: $6200-$4800=$1400
Tax on the capital gain: $1400×.15=$210.
Total tax: $36+$12+$210=$256.
