A.3.3%.
B. 1.5%.
C. 3.8%.
答案
参考答案：A
解析：
A funded investor is one who borrows to invest. These investors typically borrow short-term and the interest rate on their loan is typically short-term LIBOR plus a margin, here LIBOR plus 20 basis points. Thus in this example, the investor’s cost of funds is 3.7%. His profit is then 7%-3.7%=3.3%.
