Question

Consider the following four investments.

a) You invest $3,000 annually in a mutual fund that earns 10 percent annually, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years?

b) You invest $3,000 annually in a mutual fund with a 5 percent load fee so that only $2,850 is actually invested in the fund. The fund earns 10 percent annually, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years? (Assume that all distributions are not subject to the load fee.)

c) You invest $3,000 annually in a no-load mutual fund that charges 12b-1 fees of 1 percent. The fund earns 10 percent annually before fees, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years?

d) You invest $3,000 annually in no-load mutual fund that has a 5 percent exit fee. The fund earns 10 percent annually before fees, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years?

**Please provide work in Excel w/ formulas**

In each case you invest the same amount ($3,000) every year; the fund earns the same return each year (10 percent), and you make each investment for the same time period (20 years). At the end of the 20 years, you withdraw the funds. Why is the final amount in each mutual fund different?

Explanation / Answer

a Amt Invested                    3,000 Duration                          20 Years Compounding factor @10% for 20 years =1.1^20=                6.7275 Maturity Value after 20 Years = $      20,182.50 b Invested Amount                    3,000 Less : Load @%                      150 Net Amount Invested =                  2,850 Compounding factor @10% for 20 years =1.1^20=                6.7275 Maturity Value after 20 Years = $      19,173.37 c Here the expense ration is 1% after 10% RETURN Maturity Value calculation Beginning value of the year Compounding factor Maturity Value before Expense deduction Deduction of Expense @1% Maturity Value after Expense deduction Year   Year 1                  3,000                1.10              3,300               33.00        3,267.00 Year 2                  3,267                1.10              3,594               35.94        3,557.76 Year 3                  3,558                1.10              3,914               39.14        3,874.40 Year 4                  3,874                1.10              4,262               42.62        4,219.23 Year 5                  4,219                1.10              4,641               46.41        4,594.74 Year 6                  4,595                1.10              5,054               50.54        5,003.67 Year 7                  5,004                1.10              5,504               55.04        5,449.00 Year 8                  5,449                1.10              5,994               59.94        5,933.96 Year 9                  5,934                1.10              6,527               65.27        6,462.08 Year 10                  6,462                1.10              7,108               71.08        7,037.20 Year 11                  7,037                1.10              7,741               77.41        7,663.51 Year 12                  7,664                1.10              8,430               84.30        8,345.57 Year 13                  8,346                1.10              9,180               91.80        9,088.32 Year 14                  9,088                1.10              9,997               99.97        9,897.18 Year 15                  9,897                1.10            10,887            108.87     10,778.03 Year 16                10,778                1.10            11,856            118.56     11,737.28 Year 17                11,737                1.10            12,911            129.11     12,781.89 Year 18                12,782                1.10            14,060            140.60     13,919.48 Year 19                13,919                1.10            15,311            153.11     15,158.32 Year 20                15,158                1.10            16,674            166.74     16,507.41 So maturity Value after 20 years = $      16,507.41 d Amt Invested                    3,000 Duration                          20 Compounding factor @10% for 20 years =1.1^20=                6.7275 Maturity Value after 20 Years = $      20,182.50 Less 5% Exit fee= $        1,009.12 Net Value after 20 years investment : $      19,173.37 e When $3000 invested every year, The Future value of Annuity = A [(1+k)^n-1]/k where A=3000 per year k=10% pa n=20 years FV=3000*[1.10^20-1]/0.10 FV =$171,825 So the Maturity value will be $171,825 As in this case every year the amount is   deposited, the annuity effect for 20 years make the final amount much bigger.
