This a no-load mutual fund.
a: Using the cash flow worksheet on your financial calculator, calculate the 4-year average annual compound rate of return. The purchase price at the beginning of 2016 is $15.00 per share and the selling price at the end of 2019 is $11.59 per share.
b: Calculate the total profit per share for the 4-year period.
c. Using the cash flow worksheet on your financial calculator, calculate the 2-year average return assuming the investment was purchased at the beginning of 2017 for $13.59 and sold at the end of 2018 for $15.99.
d. Calculate the total profit per share for the 2-year period in c above.
e. Discuss the answers you calculated in parts a/b to the answers you calculated in parts c/d.
a]
CF0 = -purchase price = -$15.00
CF1 = Cash distribution in 2016 = $0
CF2 = Cash distribution in 2017 = $1.60
CF3 = Cash distribution in 2018 = $1.00
CF4 = selling price + Cash distribution in 2019 = $11.59 + $0 = $11.59
4-year average annual compound rate of return is calculated by the IRR of the above cash flows.
4-year average annual compound rate of return = -1.49%
b]
total profit per share = selling price - purchase price + total cash distributions
total profit per share = $11.59 - $15.00 + ($1.60 + $1.00)
total profit per share = -$0.81
c]
CF0 = -purchase price = -$13.59
CF1 = Cash distribution in 2017 = $1.60
CF2 = selling price + Cash distribution in 2018 = $15.99 + $1.00 = $16.99
2-year average annual compound rate of return is calculated by the IRR of the above cash flows.
2-year average annual compound rate of return = 17.85%
d]
total profit per share = selling price - purchase price + total cash distributions
total profit per share = $15.99 - $13.59 + ($1.60 + $1.00)
total profit per share = $5.00
e]
The total profit per share and average annual compound rate of return are higher in the 2-year period (parts c/d) than the 4-year period (parts a/b).
