Answer:
Class A is better because it makes more value than Stock B.
Explanation:
Assuming stock is invested at 10%
Investment = $20,000
Investment after back-end load = $20,000 - $20,000 (0.05) = $19,000
Class A
After 15 years = Investment after front-end load x ( 1 + r )^n
After 15 years = $19,000 x (1.1)^15
After 15 years = $79,368
Class B
Rate of return Net of 12-b1 fee = 10% - 0.5% = 9.5%
After 15 years = 20,000 x (1.095)^15
After 15 years = $78,026
Class A is better because it makes more value than Stock B.
