Net Amount investment = RM 9,478.70.
NAV buy @ RM0.25sen.
Total unit hold 9,478.70/0.25 = 37,914.80

1st Year
Distribution 1.75 sen. 37,914.80 x 1.75 sen = RM663.51
Reinvest at zero cost = 663.51/(0.25-0.0175)-dividend adjustment =2,853.81
New unit own after distribution : 37,914.80+2853.81=40,768.61

Notes
1) Rate of dividend = 7% (1.75/25). This is based on normal scenario. The better the market, maybe dividend rate will be higher.
2) By doing reinvestment, we could invest at lower NAV and at zero cost (not our pocket money)
3) Price movement is consider moderate in recovery/growth economic situation under equity market performance. The better the economic, the higher the price could be.
