A mutual fund has 1,000 shares of Doggie Corp

Finance Dec 08, 2020

A mutual fund has 1,000 shares of Doggie Corp. currently trading at $10, and 500 shares of Kitty, Inc., currently trading at $15. The fund has 2,000 shares outstanding. Investors expect the price of Doggie Corp. to increase to $14 and the price of Kitty Inc. to decline by the end of the year. Thus a new NAV.

 

Assume that the price of Doggie Corp. shares is realized at $14. What is the maximum price to which Kitty Inc. can decline and still maintain the original NAV?

 

 

A.$ 7.00

B.$15.45

C.$8.75

D.$12.45

Expert Solution

Computation of Maximum Price to which Kitty Inc. can decline and still maintain the original NAV:

Let the maximum price be x

(1000*10+500*15)/2000 = (1000*14+500*x)/2000

17500/2000 = (14000+500x)/2000

8.75 = (14000+500x)/2000

17500 = 14000+500x

17500-14000 = 500x

3500 = 500x

x = 3500/5

x= $7

So, Maximum Price to which Kitty Inc. can decline and still maintain the original NAV is $7.

The correct option is A "$7".
