Consider a closed$-$end fund that has a NAV of $$25\mathrm{.}00$ and a price of $$23\mathrm{.}00.$ What is the closed$-$end fund's original discount in dollars and percentage? If the NAV were to increase $10\%$ to $$27\mathrm{.}50$ and the price rose to $$24\mathrm{.}50,$ what would be the return to the investor and the new discount? Round percentages to two decimal places.

Question $8$ options:

The original discount is $$3\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $10\mathrm{.}00\%.$ The discount after the increase is $$4\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $12\mathrm{.}91\%.$ The return to the investor is $8\mathrm{.}43\%.$

The original discount is $$2\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $10\mathrm{.}00\%.$ The discount after the increase is $$3\mathrm{.}50,$ which is $11\mathrm{.}79\%.$ The return to the investor is $4\mathrm{.}25\%.$

The original discount is $$2\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $8\mathrm{.}00\%.$ The discount after the increase is $$2\mathrm{.}5,$ which is $9\mathrm{.}91\%.$ The return to the investor is $5\mathrm{.}52\%.$

The original discount is $$2\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $8\mathrm{.}00\%.$ The discount after the increase is $$3\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $10\mathrm{.}91\%.$ The return to the investor is $6\mathrm{.}52\%.$

The original discount is $$1\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $4\mathrm{.}00\%.$ The discount after the increase is $$2\mathrm{.}00,$ which is $7\mathrm{.}91\%.$ The return to the investor is $7\mathrm{.}52\%.$
