Loaded-Up Fund charges a 12b-1 fee of 1.00% and maintains an expense ratio of 0.50%. Economy Fund charges a front-end load of 3.0%, but has no 12b-1 fee and an expense ratio of 0.25%. Assume the rate of return on both funds’ portfolios (before any fees) is 12% per year. How much will an investment in each grow to after 1 year?

The complete question is found in the attachment

Explanation:

End Value of Investment = Investment * (1 - Front-end load) * (1 + r - True Expense Ratio)T

Loaded-up fund:

True Expense Ratio = Expense Ratio + 12b-1 fee = 0.5% + 1% = 1.5%

a). 1-year:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.015)1 = $1,000 * 1 * 1.045 = $1,045.00

b). 3-years:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.015)3 = $1,000 * 1 * 1.1412 = $1,141.17

c). 10-years:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.015)10 = $1,000 * 1 * 1.5530 = $1,552.97

Expense Fund:

a). 1-year:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0.03) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.0025)1

= $1,000 * 0.97 * 1.0575 = $1,025.78

b). 3-years:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0.03) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.0025)3

= $1,000 * 0.97 * 1.1826 = $1,147.13

c). 10-years:

End Value of Investment = $1,000 * (1 - 0.03) * (1 + 0.06 - 0.0025)10

= $1,000 * 0.97 * 1.7491 = $1,696.58

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
