Questions 1:

The time-weighted rate of return:

A 、results in a lower return when compared with the money-weighted rate of return.

B 、is affected by the amount and timing of cash flows to and from a portfolio.

C 、calculates multi-period cash flows mirroring a portfolio’s compound growth rate.

B 、578.

C、 636

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Time-weighted rate of return reflects the compound rate of growth of one unit of currency invested over a stated measurement period, and it removes the effects of timing and amount of withdrawals and additions to the portfolio.

A is incorrect. Time-weighted rate of return can be the same, higher, or lower than money-weighted rate of return.

B is incorrect because this is in fact the explanation for money-weighted return.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. The given cash flows are inserted into a financial calculator along with the 10% discount rate: CF0 = –1,500, CF1 = 300, CF2 = 600, CF3 = 1,000, CF4 = 200, CF5 = 500, CF6 = 300, I = 10. Computing NPV the result is 636.32 ~ 636. Alternatively, the net present value of the project is found by discounting each cash flow by the time at which it arises, at the appropriate discount rate, as follows:

B is incorrect; 578 occurs when the cash flows are discounted by one period too many (i.e., Year 0 is discounted as if it were Year 1, Year 1 is discounted as if it were Year 2, etc.): CF1 = –1,500, CF2 = 300, CF3 = 600, CF4 = 1,000, CF5 = 200, CF6 = 500, CF7 = 300, I = 10. Computing NPV the result is 578.

A is incorrect; the mistake is to use the average cash flow across the six years (483.33). Using a financial calculator: PMT = –483.33, N = 6, I/Y = 10, FV = 0. Computing PV (PV = 2,105.03) and subtracting 1,500: 2,105.03 – 1500 = 605.03 ~ 605.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來(lái)自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無(wú)比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點(diǎn)擊了解>
