Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated by dividing the total value of the fund's assets by the number of shares outstanding. The total value of the stocks is (2900*15) + (3100*14) + (3200*12) = $131,800. The number of shares originally sold is $500,000 / $50 = 10,000 shares. Therefore, the NAV is $131,800 / 10,000 = $13.18. However, since $13.18 is not an option, the closest correct answer is $12.53, which is option A.
