A mutual fund scheme has total assets of ₹52,00,000 (market value of investments plus cash) and external liabilities of ₹2,00,000. It has 2,00,000 units outstanding. What is the NAV per unit?

NAV per unit is ₹25. Net assets equal total assets of ₹52,00,000 less liabilities of ₹2,00,000, giving ₹50,00,000, which divided by 2,00,000 units gives ₹25. Ignoring liabilities would wrongly give ₹26.

  1. A₹25.00Correct
  2. B₹26.00
  3. C₹24.00
  4. D₹27.00

Explanation

NAV = (Assets − Liabilities) / Units = (52,00,000 − 2,00,000) / 2,00,000 = 50,00,000 / 2,00,000 = ₹25. Dividing gross assets (₹26) ignores liabilities, which is the key error.
