質問 # 75
What type of return is calculated for a security held for 18 months if no adjustments to the return are made?
- A. Effective rate of return.
- B. Holding period return.
- C. Nominal rate of return.
- D. Annualized total return.
正解：B
解説：
The return on a security held for a specific period, such as 18 months, without adjusting for time or compounding, is referred to as theholding period return (HPR). This straightforward calculation assesses total returns over the period of ownership.
1. Definition of Holding Period Return:The HPR is calculated as:
HPR=(Ending Value - Initial Value) + Dividends ReceivedInitial ValueHPR = \frac{{\text{(Ending Value - Initial Value) + Dividends Received}}}{{\text{Initial Value}}}HPR=Initial Value (Ending Value - Initial Value) + Dividends Received This measure evaluates total growth, disregarding compounding or annualization.
2. Other Return Types (Incorrect Answers):
* Effective Rate of Return:Reflects annualized returns considering compounding within a year. It is not applicable to non-annualized periods like 18 months.
* Nominal Rate of Return:The unadjusted rate of return without accounting for inflation. While related, it does not specifically refer to the holding period concept.
* Annualized Total Return:This adjusts returns to reflect an annual basis, assuming constant performance throughout the period. It is unsuitable for raw, unadjusted returns like the HPR.
References from CSC Study Documents:
* Chapter 15, Volume 2: Covers the calculation of different return metrics, with detailed examples of HPR and its application.
* Portfolio Return Analysis inSection 15explains the non-compounded nature of holding period calculations.

When acting as a principal, how do investment dealers generate revenue?
- A. Thrown tracers.
- B. Through commissions
- C. Through spreads on buy/sell prices.
- D. Through brokerage changes.
正解：C
解説：
When acting as a principal, investment dealers buy and sell securities for their own account. They generate revenue by earning a spread, which is the difference between the price at which they buy securities (bid price) and the price at which they sell them (ask price). This is distinct from their role as an agent, where revenue is earned through commissions on trades executed on behalf of clients.
* A. Through commissions: Commissions are earned when acting as an agent, not as a principal.
* B. Through tracers: This term does not apply to revenue generation.
* C. Through brokerage charges: Brokerage charges relate to fees imposed on client accounts, not principal trading spreads.
Reference:CSC Volume 1, Chapter 1, "The Principal and Agency Functions of Investment Dealers" explains how spreads generate revenue in principal trades.
質問 # 81
What do technical analysis and fundamental analysis have in common?
- A. They are used to predict changes in security prices.
- B. They are nullifiedaaccording to the random walk theory.
- C. They compare the intrinsic value against a security's current price.
- D. They study the causes of security' s price movements.
正解：A
解説：
Bothtechnical analysisandfundamental analysisare tools used to predict changes in security prices, but they differ significantly in their approaches.
* Fundamental Analysisevaluates the intrinsic value of a security by analyzing factors such as a company's financial statements, industry conditions, and macroeconomic trends. It assumes that market prices will eventually reflect a security's true value.
* Technical Analysisexamines historical price and volume data to predict future price movements. It focuses on identifying patterns, trends, and market sentiment without regard to the underlying fundamentals.
Option A is incorrect because it only describes fundamental analysis. Option B erroneously connects both methodologies to the random walk theory, which discounts their effectiveness. Option D misstates their purpose, as technical analysis focuses on price trends, not the causes of price movements.

質問 # 82
The principle of retraction in retractable preferred shares is identical to what other security?
- A. Redeemable preferred shares.
- B. Callable preferred shares.
- C. Retractable bonds and debentures
- D. Retractable common shares
正解：C
解説：
The principle of retraction in retractable preferred shares allows the shareholder to force the issuing company to redeem the shares for cash at a predetermined price on or after a specified date. This feature is identical to retractable bonds and debentures, which give the bondholder the option to require the issuer to repay the principal before maturity.
* A. Callable preferred shares: Callability benefits the issuer, not the holder, and is not similar to retraction.
* B. Retractable common shares: Such securities are not common in the market and are not comparable to retractable preferred shares.
* C. Redeemable preferred shares: Redemption is at the issuer's discretion, unlike retraction, which is at the holder's discretion.
Reference:CSC Volume 1, Chapter 8, "Preferred Shares - Retractable Preferred Shares" explains the retraction feature and its similarity to retractable bonds.
質問 # 83
What industry stocks tend to have lower betas than the market?
- A. Transportation
- B. Capital goods
- C. Automobiles and components
- D. Utilities
正解：D
解説：
Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility compared to the overall market. Stocks with lower betas tend to experience smaller price fluctuations relative to the market.
* Utilities:Utility companies generally have stable and predictable revenue streams because they provide essential services like electricity, water, and gas, which are always in demand regardless of economic cycles. As a result, utility stocks have lower betas, reflecting their lower sensitivity to market movements.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Transportation: Stocks in this sector are more sensitive to economic changes and fuel prices, leading to higher betas.
* B. Capital Goods: This sector involves investments in industrial equipment and machinery, which fluctuate with economic cycles and have higher betas.
* D. Automobiles and Components: This industry is cyclical and highly dependent on economic trends, leading to higher betas.

質問 # 84
Franco purchased an ETF in his non-registered account, and his total adjusted cost base in year 1 was
$30,000. The ETF distributes income each year. And this reinvested distribution total was $1,750. The ETF also distributes a return of capital of $850. What would Franco's total capital gain be if the sold the ETF for
$39,000?
- A. $9,000
- B. $,250
- C. $8,100
- D. $6,400
正解：C
解説：
To calculate Franco's total capital gain, we adjust the adjusted cost base (ACB) for reinvested distributions and return of capital (ROC).
* Initial ACB: $30,000.
* Add Reinvested Distributions: Reinvested distributions increase the ACB.30,000+1,750=31,75030,000
+ 1,750 = 31,75030,000+1,750=31,750
* Subtract Return of Capital: ROC reduces the ACB.31,750#850=30,90031,750 - 850 = 30,90031,750
#850=30,900
* Calculate the Capital Gain: Subtract the adjusted ACB from the sale price.39,000#30,900=8,10039,000
- 30,900 = 8,10039,000#30,900=8,100
* A. $1,250: Incorrect, likely a miscalculation of adjusted ACB.
* B. $8,100: Correct, based on accurate ACB adjustments and sale price.
* C. $6,400: Incorrect, ignores reinvested distributions.
* D. $9,000: Incorrect, ignores the impact of ROC adjustments on ACB.
Step-by-Step Calculation:Explanation of Options:References:
* CSC Volume 2, Chapter 19: Adjusted Cost Base Calculations, which explains the impact of reinvested distributions and ROC on capital gains.

After reviewing a client's risk tolerance, time horizon and financial objectives. Andy recommends that a long- term asset mix of 55% equities, 40 bonds and 5% cash would be most appropriate for the client.
Which approach has Andy taken in his recommendation?
- A. Strategic asset allocation
- B. Dynamic asset allocation
- C. Tactical asset allocation
- D. Ongoing asset allocation
正解：A
解説：
Strategic asset allocationis a long-term approach to portfolio management where a target allocation among asset classes (e.g., equities, bonds, cash) is established based on the client's risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial objectives. This allocation remains relatively constant over time, with periodic rebalancing to maintain the original proportions.
* Details of Andy's Recommendation:Andy recommends a fixed asset mix of 55% equities, 40% bonds, and 5% cash, which aligns with the principles of strategic asset allocation. The focus is on maintaining this allocation to meet long-term goals, without frequent shifts based on short-term market movements.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Dynamic asset allocation: This involves frequent changes to asset allocation in response to market trends, which is not evident in Andy's recommendation.
* B. Tactical asset allocation: This is a short-term, active approach where adjustments are made based on market conditions to capitalize on opportunities.
* D. Ongoing asset allocation: While this involves periodic rebalancing, it is not a defined approach like strategic allocation.
