Selling price
A gain is recorded when the asset is sold for a price greater than the assets book value.
Assets are usually recorded at FAIR value, but they might also be reported at carrying amount, purchase price, market price etc etc etc. Different names, different values, but usually fair value is the way to go!
Calculating NAVs - Calculating mutual fund net asset values is easy. Simply take the current market value of the fund's net assets (securities held by the fund minus any liabilities) and divide by the number of shares outstanding. So if a fund had net assets of Rs.50 lakh and there are one lakh shares of the fund, then the price per share (or NAV) is Rs.50.00.
