View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Consumer discretionary companies derive a majority of revenue from the sale of consumer-related products or services for which demand tends to exhibit a relatively high degree of economic sensitivity. A hotel would be an example of a business activity that falls into this category.

A is incorrect. The consumer staples sector includes consumer-related companies whose business tends to exhibit less economic sensitivity than other companies. Examples of business activities that frequently fall into this category are tobacco manufacturers. Tobacco is an example of a consumer staple name whose business is less economically sensitive.

B is incorrect. Biotechnology fits in the health care sector, which does not tend to exhibit a high degree of economic sensitivity.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Companies in the same peer group can have different valuations depending on structure and competitiveness.

A is incorrect. Valuations may be of limited value when comparing companies that are exposed to different stages of the business cycle.

C is incorrect. To make a meaningful comparison of companies, analysts should make adjustments to the financial statements to lessen the impact that the finance subsidiaries have on the various financial metrics being compared.

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。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>
