11/4/23, 9:39 PM Sample/practice exam 2015, questions about:blank 1/15 FINA200 NON-JMSB Second Sample Final Exam It’s in your best interests to attempt this sample exam before you write the final. Try to do so under “exam conditions”, i.e. lock yourself up somewhere in a quiet room, give yourself 3 hours with no textbook, and don’t look at the solutions until you have finished. In this way you will be able to identify your own personal areas of strength and weakness. This sample final consists of 26 multiple choice questions (2 marks each) 13 true/false questions (1 mark each) and two cases (total of 35 marks). The multiple choice and true/false questions are taken evenly from the examinable chapters (1 - 3, 5 - 10, 13 - 15). Your exam this term is slightly different - it will have 33 multiple choice questions - 2 marks each for a total of 66 marks - and two case studies for a total of 34 marks. Chapters 4, 11 and 12 are omitted from the exam. As well, I will provide templates (e.g. net worth statement) in the case studies as I did throughout the term. Another change involves the fact that you will write the case study answers directly onto the exam. No exam booklet will be provided. The multiple choice answers will be entered onto a computer sheet. The use of a non-programmable financial calculator will be permitted in the exam (this means a calculator that has the financial functions, but does not permit you to save alphanumeric data). You will not be permitted dictionaries. You will not be required to complete a time value of money calculation that requires a financial calculator. However, you can be asked to identify which series of keystrokes would lead to a correct answer. Please note that according to university regulations, the exam must be written . For in ink FINA200, this filling out the computer sheet for the mutliple choice and true/false excludes answers which must be completed in pencil. 1
