PART 3: Learning activity solutions
Introduction Module
1.
The following steps should be carried out in the presence of your client:
Explain the role of the financial planner and the value of the financial planning process
Define the terms of the engagement
Determine the client’s goals, needs and priorities
Compile and present recommendations and the supporting rationale
Discuss implementation actions, responsibilities and time frames
Implement the recommendations
2.
Please see Module 1, The Integrated Personal Financial Planning Process, for information about the professional service contract. A.
False. A client can break a contract at any time and does not need a serious reason. It is the financial planner who cannot terminate a contract with a client except for a serious reason.
B.
False. The financial planner cannot include a clause in the contract guaranteeing the results of their recommendations. Furthermore, they should even disclaim responsibility in this regard.
C. True. Section 17 of the Regulation respecting Firms, Independent Representatives and Independent Partnerships, CQLR, c D-9.2, r. 2, identifies the documents that must be in a client file and subsection 10 is of particular interest for financial planners, since it stipulates that the client’s file must include a copy of the financial planning contract signed by the client and a copy of the written report that the financial planner is obliged to give the client.
D.
True. An estimate of the number of hours to carry out the contract is one of the things that must be included in the professional service contract, according to section 8 of the Regulation respecting the Pursuit of Activities as a Representative.
E.
False. The documents in the client’s file can be viewed by the client
.
3.
Name the five steps of a standard problem-resolution process and state those carried out in the analysis step.
1)
Review of the goals expressed by the client 2)
Assessment of the current situation based on the documentation provided 3)
Quantification of the differences 4)
Evaluation of the feasibility and potential achievement of the target goal 5)
Identification of solutions
.
Points 2 to 5 lead to three orders of findings to be included in the “Analysis” section for each situation in the integrated personal financial planning report. Six situations must be analysed for a full portrait of a person’s or family’s financial situation.

Question 3
How much additional money will be available monthly once the credit cards are paid off and the monthly expenditures have been increased by $600?
Answer:
$1,300
The couple is spending $1,900 each month to pay off their credit cards, which will then be available each month for other purposes, including the planned spending of an additional $600 each month. This will leave them $1,300 each month.
Conclusion
In five months, William and Sandra will be able to save $1,300 per month. Question 4.1
In three years, what will be the price of a car like the $25,000 car William and Sandra have their eye on now?

Question 6
Since saving up to buy a car is a recurring expense, what will William and Sandra’s annual cost of living be once their credit cards have been repaid?
Answer:
$74,793
Their current cost of living is $57,451 and we have to add $7,200 ($600 a month) for the increase in discretionary spending and $10,142 ($845.16 a month) to save for the car.

Question 8
What are the couple’s debt ratios (GDS and TDS)?
Answer:
GDS = 15%; TDS = 27%
The gross debt service ratio (GDS)
is mainly used for residential mortgages, since it represents the ratio between expenses related to housing and the borrowers’ gross income. It is calculated as follows:
+
+
+
+ 50%
$12,460 + $3,488 + $1,220
$48,550 + $65,000
= 15%
The
total debt service ratio (TDS)
considers not only expenses related to housing but also the repayment of the borrower’s other debts. Since this ratio is generally calculated by financial institutions before granting a new loan, the calculation considers the minimum repayment on all authorized credit and not just the credit in use at the time of the loan. Authorized credit: $15,000 + $20,000 + $2,000 = $37,000
Minimum repayment:
$37,000 × 3% = $1,110 per month or $13,320 per year
+
+
+
+ 50% +
$12,460 + $3,488 + $1,220 + $13,320

Activity – Emergency Fund
Question 1
How long will it take for William and Sandra to accumulate their $15,000 emergency fund?
Answer:
38 months or 3 years and 2 months
We now know that in five months William and Sandra will be able to start saving $1,300 a
month. We also know that the monthly savings required for the purchase of the car will be $845.16. The monthly savings available to put toward their emergency fund will therefore be $454.84 ($1,300 – $845.16). Since they have to earn the income before they can save it, we have to do the calculations for the end of the period.

Activity – Financial Projections for Retirement
Question 1
How many years from now will William and Sandra retire?
Answer:
William: 38 years; Sandra: 37 years
William is 27 and will retire at age 65, or 38 years from now (65 – 27).
Sandra is 28 and will retire at age 65, or 37 years from now (65 – 28).
Question 2
How much will their respective OAS pensions be the year that William retires?
Answer:
$14,940.98
The OAS is indexed annually to inflation. You therefore have to index for 38 years the amount payable in 2018 based on the inflation assumption.

Question 3
How much will their respective QPP retirement pensions be the year that William retires?
Answer:
William: $36,260.92; Sandra: $41,127.89
The assumption concerning the growth rate of MPE is the same as the assumption concerning William and Sandra’s salary increases. This is the rate that must be used to index the amount of the retirement benefits projected to age 65. But Sandra’s benefit will already have been in service for a year when William retires, and QPP benefits in service

Question 4
How much will William have accrued in his RPP by the age of 65?
Answer:
$613,187.33
This is an annuity that increases at the end of the period (END) and you have to find the future value (FV) at age 65. William and his employer are each contributing 4% of William’s salary (total of 8%), and we assume his salary will increase at a rate of 3% per year. Furthermore, the contributions are only made when the salary is paid, at the end of the period. The problem is that it is impossible to calculate the accrued value (FV) of a growth annuity in a single operation, as we would with the present value (PV), simply by correcting the discount rate (I/Y) to take the increase in payments (PMT) into account. We actually have to find the corrected rate
9
and then used it to find the present value (PV), which can then be used to find the future value (FV) using the uncorrected rate of return.
Unfortunately, that is not all. It is also not possible to directly find the present value (PV) of an annuity that increases at the end of the period (END), only one that increases at the beginning of the period (BGN). Since it would be hard to ask William and his employer to save on an as-
yet-unearned salary, we have to find the present value (PV) of the growth annuity at the beginning of the period (BGN) and discount that value (PV) one additional year, using the uncorrected rate of return.

Question 5
How much annual income should the accrued amount generate in retirement?
Answer:
$23,920.89
When planning long-term income, such as retirement income, we have to take inflation into account, so the client’s lifestyle can be maintained. For this reason, you must always plan for an increase in the cost of living based on inflation, along with the use of the retirement capital. In short, you have to calculate an annuity that is indexed to inflation.
This is an annuity that increases at the beginning of the period (BGN) for which we want to find the annual payment (PMT). To do this, we have to find the rate of return William can be expected to earn on his investments and correct it to take the increase in payments into account (I/Y). We also have to determine how many years (N) the income will have to be paid, that is, how many payments there will be before the capital is depleted (FV = 0).

Question 6
Is Sandra’s defined benefit RPP coordinated with the QPP?
Answer:
No
To answer this question, you have to examine the characteristics of the RPP. The salary contribution rate is uniform for the entire salary and the retirement annuity is calculated based on a uniform rate, regardless of MPE. Also, no additional annuity is planned for people who retire before the age of 65.
Question 7
In light of the economic assumptions used, the characteristics of Sandra’s RPP and the planned maternity leaves, at what age will Sandra be eligible for her RPP benefits?
Answer:
Age 62
28 + 34 = 62
Sandra, who is 28, has one year of service. Her RPP states that she will be eligible for pension benefits beginning at age 65 or 60 if she has 35 years of service. Although she is planning to take three years of maternity leave, these years are taken into consideration for pension eligibility. If she retires at that age, however, her pension will be based on 32 years of service.

Question 8
In light of the economic assumptions used, the characteristics of Sandra’s RPP and the planned maternity leaves, how much will Sandra’s RPP benefits be at age 66 (her age when William retires) if she continues to work for this employer until she turns 65?
Answer:
$124,689.93
Her defined benefit RPP is based on “final salary,” since it is calculated as follows: 1.8% ×
×
5
Since Sandra has only one year of service, it is reasonable to use her annual salary for her average five-year salary and to index it based on the assumption used for her increases in salary.

$194,039.73
As concerns the years of service, we have to calculate the total years of service (38) and subtract the planned maternity leaves (3 years). The retirement benefits will be based on 35 years of service.
1.8% × 35 × $194,039.73 = $
,
.
We want the amount of the benefits at age 66 because that is how old Sandra will be when William retires. Since the benefits payable by the plan are indexed annually to inflation, we have to index this amount to inflation for one year.

$96,454.50
We can see that William and Sandra should be able to spend the equivalent of $21,661.58 more in retirement ($96,454.50 – $74,792.92) than they will spend once they have paid off their credit cards.
Question 11
If we assume that neither William nor Sandra will save any more for retirement than what they are saving through their respective RPPs, what will their cost of living be at the time of retirement?
Answer:
$246,754.45
First, if William and Sandra do not save any more than they are currently saving as a proportion of their salaries, that would mean they spend everything else once the emergency fund has been established.
10
Also, since we have made the assumption that their salaries will increase faster than inflation, the same would go for their lifestyle.

The income available in retirement is therefore equal to 83% of their pre-retirement cost of living, which is an absolutely acceptable result when the clients are so far from retirement. Of course, a lot of this result depends on Sandra’s continuing to belong to her RPP, which will not necessarily be the case.

$74,792.92 + ($454.84 × 12) = $80,251

Case Study 05 – Marc Champoux
Activity solutions
Activity – Rate Comparison Question 1
You have to choose the option that gives Josée the highest rate of return. The returns on the various options do not all enjoy the same tax treatment, however, so you have to put them all on the same basis. The after-tax rate is the most representative of reality, since the ultimate goal is to use the money earned for personal purposes.
a.
Since the car is for personal use, the interest on the loan to acquire it is not deductible. The borrowing rate (2.15%) is therefore already after tax.
Equivalent after-tax rate: 2.15%
b.
With the exception of the registered accounts, the interest income is 100% taxable. You have to use Josée’s marginal tax rate to find the rate net of taxes that corresponds to a taxable interest rate of 3.04%.
3.04% × (1 – 0.46) = 1.64%
Equivalent after-tax rate: 1.64%
c.
The interest paid on a loan obtained through the Québec loans and bursaries program is not deductible from income, but it does trigger a personal tax credit at the basic rates. The combined federal-Québec tax credit is 32.53% including the 16.5% abatement for Québec residents. This is the rate to use to find the after-tax equivalent of the 3.25% borrowing rate. 3.25% × (1 – 0.2753) = 2.19%
Equivalent after-tax rate: 2.19%
Answer:
The option that gives Josée the highest return is to refund her student loan.

Question 2
You have to choose the option that gives Antoine the highest rate of return. The returns on the various options do not all enjoy the same tax treatment, however, so you have to put them all
on the same basis. The after-tax rate is the most representative of reality, since the ultimate goal is to use the money earned for personal purposes.
a.
Since the return will be tax sheltered (TFSA), it will not be taxable, regardless of the nature of the investment income. The expected rate of return (4.35%) is therefore already after tax. Equivalent after-tax rate:
4.35%
b.
Interest on a personal debt is not deductible. The rate (5%) is therefore already after tax.
Equivalent after-tax rate:
5%
c.
With the exception of registered accounts, the interest income is 100% taxable. Making a loan to someone directly rather than buying a bond does not change the nature of the interest received in exchange. You have to use Antoine’s marginal tax rate to find the rate net of taxes that corresponds to a taxable interest rate of 6%.
6% × (1 – 0.37) = 3.78%
Equivalent after-tax rate:
3.78%
Answer:
The option that gives Antoine the highest return is to repay his personal debt.

Question 3
You have to choose the option that gives Annick the highest rate of return. The returns on the various options do not all enjoy the same tax treatment, however, so you have to put them all on the same basis. The after-tax rate is the most representative of reality, since the ultimate goal is to use the money earned for personal purposes.
a.
Eligible dividends, capital gains and interest are not all taxed in the same way for the person who receives them. One-third of the return of 4.35% comes from eligible dividends (taxed at 32%), one-third comes from the capital gain (taxable at 23.5%) and one-third comes from interest income (taxable at 47%). 4.35% ÷ 3 = 1.45%
Eligible dividends
Capital gain
Interest
Total
1.45% × (1 – 0.32)
1.45% × (1 – 0.235)
1.45% × (1 – 0.47)
2.87%
0.99%
1.11%
0.77%
Equivalent after-tax rate: 2.87%
b.
The interest on a sum borrowed to earn business income is deductible. The 6% rate therefore has to be converted to an after-tax rate using Annick’s marginal tax rate, which is 47%. 6% × (1 – 0.47) = 3.18%
Equivalent after-tax rate: 3.18%
c.
Interest on a loan contracted to contribute to an RRSP is not tax deductible. The borrowing rate (4%) is therefore already after tax.
Equivalent after-tax rate: 4%
Answer:
The option that gives Annick the highest return is to repay her RRSP loan.
