During the year investors received income distributions of $2 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.25 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no liabilities, and that the operating expense ratio is 1%, what is the rate of return of the fund for the year?Question 2: The Wildwood Fund sells Class A shares with a front-end load of 5% and Class B Shares with a 12b-1 fees of 1% annually. If you plan to sell the fund after 4 years, are Class A or Class B shares the better choice? Assume a 10% annual return after operating expenses have already been taken out.Question 3: Compute the geometric average of the following rates of return: 10%, -20%, -10%, and 20%Questions 4: You pay $21,600 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year.

If the annual operating expenses will be 1% and the 12b-1 fees will be 0.5%, what is your investment worth at the end of 4 years?Question 5: You have the following stock prices over several years.
