Your client's unused RRSP contribution room is $46,000. He contributes $15,000 in the current taxation year. How much RRSP contribution room can he carry forward?

  1. $31,000
  2. $46,000
  3. $35,000
  4. $38,000

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Unused RRSP contribution room can be carried forward indefinitely. The carry-forward amount is the unused room minus the current year's contribution: $46,000 - $15,000 = $31,000. The feedback from the document states:

"Any RRSP contribution room that is not used in a taxation year can be carried forward to be used in future years. There is no limit on the amount that can be carried forward. In this example, $46,000 - $15,000 = $31,000."

What is a key difference between marketable government bonds and treasury bills?

  1. Treasury bills do not pay any coupon interest, while marketable bonds do
  2. Marketable government bonds may be sold at a discount while Treasury bills are sold at a premium
  3. Treasury bills trade in the over-the-counter market, while marketable bonds trade on the exchange
  4. Marketable government bonds actively trade in the secondary market while Treasury bills can only be bought from and sold to the government

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Treasury bills (T-bills) have short maturities and are sold at a discount, with the return being the difference between the purchase price and par value at maturity, without coupon interest. Marketable bonds, however, pay coupon interest. The feedback from the document states:

"Because T-bills have such short maturities, they do not pay any coupon interest; instead, they are sold to investors at a discount from par value.
When the T-bill matures, you receive par value. The difference between the price paid and the par value represents your return."

Which security is most likely to provide a capital gain if held to maturity?

  1. A corporate bond bought at a discount
  2. Cumulative preferred shares bought at par value
  3. Common shares of a mature company
  4. A government bond bought at a premium

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A corporate bond bought at a discount will provide a capital gain at maturity, as the investor receives the par value, which is higher than the purchase price. The feedback from the document states:

"Bond prices are quoted using an index with a base value of 100. A bond trading at 100 is said to be trading at face value, or par. A bond trading below par, say at a price of 98, is said to be trading at a discount... So if you buy a bond at a discount, at maturity, you will receive the par or face value. The difference between the discounted price and the par value received at maturity is considered a capital gain."

For the last year, an investor earned a return before adjustment for inflation of 2% on a money market fund, while inflation averaged 1.5%.
What was his nominal rate of return?

  1. 0.50%
  2. 1.50%
  3. 3.50%
  4. 2.00%

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The nominal rate of return is the return before adjustment for inflation, which is given as 2%. The real rate of return would be adjusted for inflation (2% - 1.5% = 0.5%), but the question asks for the nominal rate. The feedback from the document states:

"It is important to consider the effects of inflation on investments because we can isolate the difference between nominal and real returns. Investors are more concerned with the real rate of return ­ the return adjusted for the effects of inflation. A nominal return is a return that has not been adjusted for the impact of inflation. The approximate real rate of return is calculated as: Real Return = Nominal Rate - Annual Inflation Rate."

Fund A has a 5-year average return of 10% and a standard deviation of 5%. Fund B has a 5-year average return of 8% and a standard deviation of 2%. Select the most accurate statement about Funds A and B.

  1. Fund A will always provide a higher return than Fund B
  2. Fund B's lowest return is lower than Fund A's lowest return
  3. Fund A's returns have ranged from 5% to 10%
  4. Fund B is less risky than Fund A

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A lower standard deviation indicates lower volatility and thus lower risk. Fund B, with a standard deviation of 2%, is less risky than Fund A, with a standard deviation of 5%. The feedback from the document states:

"We can find the probable range of returns as follows: Average Return + Standard deviation = Positive outcome. Average Return - Standard deviation = Negative outcome. In any given year Fund A, which has the higher standard deviation, could fluctuate much more widely, making it less attractive as an investment, even over the long-term. Volatility is the most common measure of risk."

Calculate the 2-year simple return for the AAA Mutual Fund.

AAA Mutual Fund Performance

Year | Price at Beginning | Distribution | Price at End | Simple 1-Yr Return

1st Year | $10.00 | $0.25 | $11.00 | 12.50%

2nd Year | $11.00 | $0.25 | $10.20 | -5.00%

  1. 7%
  2. 3%
  3. 8%
  4. -3%

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The 2-year simple return is calculated as:

Return = (Price at the end of the period + total cash flow earned during the period - Price at the beginning of the period) / Price at the beginning of the period.

Total cash flow = $0.25 (Year 1) + $0.25 (Year 2) = $0.50.

Return = ($10.20 + $0.50 - $10.00) / $10.00 = $0.70 / $10.00 = 7.00%.

The feedback from the document confirms:

"Return = (Price at the end of the period + cash flow earned during the period - Price at the beginning of the period) / Price at the beginning of the period. In this case, ($10.20 + $0.50 - $10.00) / $10.00 = 7.00%."

Which statement best describes what a rational investor will do when comparing the risk and return of two investments?

  1. He will select the one that maximizes risk and maximizes return
  2. He will select the one with the lower risk because all investors are risk averse
  3. He will select the one that minimizes risk and maximizes return
  4. He will select the one with the higher expected risk because that is the only way to earn a higher return

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A rational investor seeks to maximize return for a given level of risk or minimize risk for a given level of return. The feedback from the document states:

"Given a choice between two investments with the same amount of risk, a rational investor would always take the security with the higher return. Given two investments with the same expected return, the investor would always choose the security with the lower risk. Investors are risk averse, but not all to the same degree. Each investor has a different risk profile."

Why do speculators tend to avoid diversification?

  1. Diversifying a portfolio may result in overall risk that is lower than that of its component securities
  2. Diversifying a portfolio tends to increase the probability of very large gains and losses
  3. Diversifying a portfolio tends to reduce the probability of very large gains and losses
  4. Not diversifying a portfolio exposes the investor to the total risk of the securities

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Speculators avoid diversification because it reduces the potential for both large losses and large gains, which they seek to achieve significant wealth. The feedback from the document states:

"Diversification affects the returns that investors hope to earn. Diversification tends to reduce the probability of both very large losses and very large gains. Speculators tend to avoid diversification for this reason. Great wealth can be achieved only through an absence of diversification."

question 16 should be b (changing the connector settings on the monitor) pc and monitor were powered on. the lights on the pc are on indicating power. the monitor is showing an error text indicating that it is receiving power too. this is a clear sign of having the wrong input selected on the monitor. thus, the "connector setting" needs to be switched from hdmi to display port on the monitor so it receives the signal from the pc, or the other way around (display port to hdmi).

question 14 - run terraform import: this is the recommended best practice for bringing manually created or destroyed resources under terraform management. you use terraform import to associate an existing resource with a terraform resource configuration. this ensures that terraform is aware of the resource, and you can subsequently manage it with terraform.
