a$.$ Calculate which is the lower cost alternative to purchase.

b$.$ Calculate the net proceeds associated with each option if you hold the mutual fund for $6$ months and sell after a gain of $11$ percent per $6$ months.

c$.$ Calculate the net proceeds associated with each option if you hold the mutual fund for $1$ year and achieve a gain of $9$ percent per year.

d$.$ Calculate the net proceeds associated with each option if you hold the mutual fund for $1$ year and experience a loss of $7$ percent per year.

a$.$ Calculate which is the lower cost alternative to purchase. $($Select the best answer below.$)$

B$.$ The cost is $$0$ to purchase the ETF versus $$20$ to purchase the no$-$load fund. Regardless of the initial investment amount, the lower cost alternative to purchase is the ETF.
