An open-ended equity scheme began the year with NAV Rs 40.00. During the year it paid a dividend of Rs 3.00 per unit when NAV was Rs 44.00, and the dividend was not reinvested. Year-end NAV was Rs 46.00. What is the absolute return for the year (dividend added, no reinvestment)?

  1. A15.00%
  2. B17.50%Correct
  3. C12.50%
  4. D20.00%

Explanation

Return = (46 - 40 + 3) / 40 = 9/40 = 22.5%? Check: 46-40 = 6; 6+3 = 9; 9/40 = 22.5%. Note NAV already is post-dividend, so the correct figure is 22.5%.
