Respuesta :

Answer:

Closed-End Investment Company

The percentage return on the investment is:

= = 29.41%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net asset value of share = $36

Price paid by an investor = $34

Dividend distributed = $1

Net asset value after one year = $42

Selling price in the secondary market by the investor = $43

Total amount realized by the investor = $44 ($43 + $1)

Cost of investment = $34

Dollar return on the investment = $10 ($44 - $34)

Percentage return on the investment = Return on investment/Cost of investment * 100

= $10/$34 * 100

= 29.41%
