2.97%

Explanation:

cost of shares = (NAV0 * shares) : (1 - FL)

= ($39 * 1,000) : (1 - 0.034)

= 40,372.67

NAV1 = NAVo (1 + investment return - expense ratio)

= $39 * (1 + 0.08 - 0.014)

= 41.574

value of shares = NAV1 * Shares

= 41.574 * 1,000

= 41,574

Return = (value of shares : cost of shares) - 1

= (41,574 : 40,372.67) - 1

= 2.97%
