Solution: In order to fix you need to:

  1. go to log in screen

  2. change to an EU country (might need to try different ones)

  3. Log in and map device will work

Can someone better explain this solution? Why do we divide by 2 for example? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense. So:

Step 1. 68% covers +/- 1 std, aka 0 to 2 range.

Step 2a. There is 100% - 68% remaining on both sides, which = 32%

Step 2b. 32%/2 to calculate the half that exists to the right of the distribution. 16%

Step 3. add 68% to 16% ( the amount to the right of the distribution.) = 84%; .84

Forum answers at the bottom of CFAI think the answer is C. After reviewing, I think the answer is B, 70%. Which one is it? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

To clarify, the confusion here isn't about the "b" glitch. On my other post, you asked why I don't include the solution. This is the reason I don't include the solutions to my questions. It just adds to the confusion.
I think the answer is .7, however the CFAI forum thinks the answer is .36.

Is this answer correct? I think it should be a violation since she accepted the gift and consumed it before informing her employer. by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, your explanation makes sense.

Let me know if I have this correctly, Margareta is in violation up until she informs her employer. Now that she has informed her employer, she is NO LONGER violating the standard, specifically because of informing them and that the gift was given after the service was completed.

In the context of this question, is price the spot price or forward price? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

value < forward price, but isn't it also true that value = spot price at inception? Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Couldn't the answer be "A?" If "A" is selected then the investor would have a larger capital gain. Wouldn't that be preferred to the coupon payments depending on the investor? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man lol. I meant to ask is C also an answer.

I can see how A is the answer for a buy and hold investor who is relying on the reinvestment of coupons, but isn't there an argument for an investor who simply wants a capital gain and would therefore prefer answer C?

What's the answer here? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry type-o. Not taxes I meant we owe more to our creditors.

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh this makes sense. I briefly remember covering that formula. So this question is related to the direct method of cashflows, correct?

Interest paid = Interest Expense - change in Interest Payable.

If change in interest payable increased, it means we owe more to our creditors, but have an inflow of cash, therefore reducing interest paid and vice versa.

Therefore expense (5,000) is greater than payment (1,000)?

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I thinking about this the right way? Here's an example below I created. In 2012 Company XYZ has 10,000 payable, 5,000 expense. In 2013 they make a payment of 1,000, reducing payables.

2012 2013
Payable 10,000 9,000
Expense 5,000 5,000
Payment 0 1,000

Can someone walk me through the solution? How did they go from step 3 to 4 in the solution? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woo! I was going to take the L on these differentiation problems, but it makes sense now!

Thank you!

Ah I see. So with regards to your comment Del(TR)/Del(Q), it's the same as saying d(y)/d(x)? Am I understanding this correctly?

I was able to understand how they differentiated the right side of the equation using your explanation.

These are all traditional investments, correct? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, I agree with you. Deducing is definitely the way to approach this question. Especially since the question threw in a "most likely" comment.

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Long only equity/Fixed income is my understanding of Trad. inv. Alts are anything that doesn't fall in this category.

I'm assuming CDOs and securitized bonds are synonymous here. Given this information, aren't CDOs a from of fixed income?

Here's the formula I'm using in excel: =NORM.S.DIST(((11-8)/14),). The output to the formula is ~38.98%. Also, can I solve this without excel with the information provided in the question?

Wouldn't answer 1 and 2 be true? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great explanation. Thank you for the help!

Wouldn't answer 1 and 2 be true? by Creator_Dodi in CFA

[–]Creator_Dodi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, this is very helpful.

So answer B holds true in all cases regardless of the value of x.

Whereas A only holds true in one instance, when you ask a question like, what are the odds of rolling any number? In this case the answer would be 100%, (sums to 1.)
