Question

An investor purchases 1,000 mutual fund shares with a Net Asset Value of $10 each, where the fund imposes a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if the shares are redeemed within the first year. The sales charge decreases by 1% for each year the investor remains invested in the fund. If the investor were to redeem his shares during the second year of holding the fund, based upon the NAV of $10, he or she will receive:

A. $10,000
B. $9,600
C. $9,500
D. $9,400

Answer 1

B. $9,600

Calculation to determine the amount he or she will receive

Amount Received=(1000*$10)*[100%-( 5% contingent deferred -1%Decrease in sales charge)

Amount Received=$10000-(100%-4%)

Amount Received=$10000*96%

Amount Received=$9,600

Therefore he or she will receive $9600
