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). b. The percentage return: ($44-34+1)/$34=32.3% 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.)

The percentage return is ($1+1.05(58)-46)/$46=34.6%.

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. What is the percentage return the individual earned on the investment? c. Why are the two percentages different?

ANSWER: a. The percentage return reported by the fund: (57.80-50+2.34)/$50=20.28%. b. The shares cost $50+.04($50)=$52. When the shares are redeemed, the investor nets $58.38(0.99)=$57.80.

The percentage return is ($57.80–52+2.34)/$52=15.65%. 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 income tax bracket (which also applies to short-term capital gains) and the 15 percent long-term capital gains bracket.

What is the tax implication of this distribution?

ANSWER: No taxes are owed since the distribution is totally a return of capital. The cost basis of the shares is reduced by Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

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.
