Re: CFA Candidates In The House
« #138 on: February 11, 2008, 04:53 PM »

@wyt

it is not 21.6

here is a clue

u ve been given the PV, so wat we are to find is ANNUITY,  then u will divide the return by 2 since its semi annually i.e(0.12/2), and multiply the period by 2 also i.e (5*2)

try this lets see

remember u are computing for annuity.

r = 12 * 2 = 24%
n = 5 * 2 = 10

FV = PV*(1+r)^ n
   =360*(1+.24)^10
   =3,093


Your other question doesnt seem to be right. You did not provide number of years

Anyone wanna try this

Q1 . The sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean because the:


A) sampling distribution of the sample mean has the smallest variance of any other unbiased estimators of the population mean.
 
B) sample mean provides a more accurate estimate of the population mean as the sample size increases.

C) expected value of the sample mean is equal to the population mean.

D) sampling distribution of the sample mean is normal


Q2.  One year ago, Karen Jason left the employment as a portfolio manager of Howe Advisors. The departure was contentious and both parties threatened legal action. As a result, both parties signed a settlement in which Jason was paid a pro rated bonus, but agreed not to work on the portfolios of any existing Howe client for two years. The terms of the agreement were that both parties agreed to keep all aspects of the agreement confidential, including the fact that there was hostility surrounding the departure. Jason now works for Torre Advisors, who has the Stein Company as a new client. At the time Jason left Howe, Stein was a client of Howe, although Jason did not personally work on the Stein portfolio. Jason's supervisor at Torre wants Howe to work on the Stein portfolio. Jason should:

A) work on the portfolio because she did not personally work on the portfolio when she was at Howe.

B) inform her supervisor that she cannot work on the portfolio because of a non-compete agreement.

C) inform her supervisor that she cannot work on the portfolio because of a legal agreement, but cannot tell him why.

D) leave the employment of Torre because of a conflict of interest.
