Answer: $49.81
Explanation:
The offering price is calculated as:
= NAV per share / (100 - front-end load)
NAV per share = (Value - liabilities) / Number of shares
= [ ( 12,000 * 86) + (32,000 * 15) + (3,500 * 69) + (75,000 * 10) - 124,000] / 49,000 mutual fund shares
= 2,379,500 / 49,000
= $48.56
Offering price = 48.56 / (100 - 2.5%)
= $49.81
