3.8.1.2. The Price of a Mutual Fund

The cost of a mutual fund is determined by the net asset value of the fund. The net asset value is the book value of the fund, which is calculated by determining the fair market value of the securities in the fund and subtracting the fund’s expenses (liabilities). The book value is then divided by the number of shares in the fund to get the NAV per share. The investment company uses the proceeds from the sales of shares to purchase more securities in the fund.

NAV = fair market value – fund’s expenses

NAV per share = book value / number of shares

The NAV must be computed at least once each business day, and the calculation typically occurs after the close of the market (4:00 p.m. ET). The NAV is reported to both FINRA and the financial media.

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

I recently passed my Series 24 using Solomon Exam Prep! It was the hardest exam I've taken to date. I found all the practice exams with specific feedback to be the most helpful, though the audiobook was very helpful as well.

I used Solomon to study for the 26 and most recently the 24. The material is layered in way that makes it manageable to digest and the instructor response time and explanations are outstanding. I passed both on the first attempt!

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.

I would like to say that Solomon test prep had the most varied and comprehensive test bank I have seen. The questions ranged in difficulty and the answer feedback was so detailed, that I felt that I was mastering concepts rather than trying to pin down certain facts in a question just to get the 'one,' answer. I saw many iterations of the sample examinations, and with the courage to keep clicking next and learning, I passed with a score I'm more than happy to claim. Also, the staff are very responsive. I'll be coming back.

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!
