博迪《金融学》第2版名校考研真题【视频讲解】一、单选题1.以下货币制度中会发生劣币驱逐良币现象的是()。
[中央财大2011金融硕士] A.金银双本位B.金银平行本位C.金币本位D.金汇兑本位【答案】A【解析】金银双本位制下金、银两种金属同时被法律承认为货币金属,金、银铸币都可自由铸造,都有无限的法定支付能力。
当金银铸币各按其本身所包含的价值并行流通时,市场上的商品就出现了金银两重价格,而这两重价格随金银市场比价的不断变动而变动。
为了克服由此造成的紊乱,很多国家用法律规定了金币与银币的比价。
但金银市场比价并不会由于法定比例的确定而不再发生变化。
于是法定比价和市场比价之间可能会出现差异,价值被高估的货币渐渐被贮藏,而劣币充斥市场。
金银平行本位是金银两种本位币按其所含金属的实际价值流通,国家对两种货币的交换不加规定,而由市场上的金银的实际比价自由确定金币和银币比价的货币制度。
在金本位制下,每单位的货币价值等同于若干重量的黄金(即货币含金量);当不同国家使用金本位时,国家之间的汇率由它们各自货币的含金量之比——铸币平价(Mint Parity)来决定。
金汇兑本位制(Gold Exchange Standard)又称“虚金本位制”,该国货币一般与另一个实行金本位制或金块本位制国家的货币保持固定的比价,并在后者存放外汇或黄金作为平准基金,从而间接实行了金本位制。
实际上,它是一种带有附属性质的货币制度。
当然,无论金块本位制或金汇兑本位制,都是削弱了的金本位制,很不稳定。
而这种脆弱的制度经过1929年~1933年的世界经济危机,终于全部瓦解。
2.面值为100元的永久性债券票面利率是10%,当市场利率为8%时,该债券的理论市场价格应该是()元。

博迪《金融学》第2版课章节练习及详解(居民户的储蓄和投资决策)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课章节练习及详解第5章居民户的储蓄和投资决策一、概念题1.持久收入假说(武汉大学2002研;南开大学2008研)答:持久收入假说由美国经济学家米尔顿·弗里德曼(M.Friedman)提出,认为消费者的消费支出主要不是由他的现期收入决定,而是由他的永久收入决定。
所谓永久收入是指消费者可以预计到的长期收入。
永久收入大致可以根据观察到的若干年收入的数值之加权平均数计得,距现在的时间越近,权数越大;反之,则越小。
根据这种理论,政府想通过增减税收来影响总需求的政策是不能奏效的,因为人们减税而增加的收入,并不会立即用来增加消费。
与生命周期假说不同的是,持久收入假说偏重于个人如何预测自己未来收入问题。
持久收入假说认为:(1)消费不只同现期收入相联系,而是以一生或永久的收入作为消费决策的依据。
(2)一次性暂时收入变化引起的消费支出变动甚小,即其边际消费倾向很低,甚至近于零,但来自永久收入变动的消费倾向很大,甚至接近于1。
(3)当政府想用税收政策影响消费时,如果减税或增税只是临时性的,则消费者并不会受到很大影响,只有永久性税收变动,政策才会有明显效果。
2.跨期预算约束与最优消费选择费雪认为,人们在消费时会受到一些限制,这些约束包括:预算约束(即人们可以为自己进行消费所支出的数额大小)和跨期预算约束(即人们可以为自己在当前消费和未来消费所支付的数额大小)。
假定消费者的一生可以分为两个时期:第一个时期是青年时期,第二个时期是老年时期。
用1y 和1c 分别表示消费者在第一个时期的收入和消费,用2y 和2c 分别表示消费者在第二个时期的收入和消费。
再假定消费者有机会进行借贷或储蓄,因此他在任何一个时期的消费都可以大于或小于那一时期的收入。
第一个时期的储蓄或借贷:11s y c =-(0s >表示储蓄,0s <表示借贷),第二个时期的消费:()221c r s y =++,其中r 为实际利率。
博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解(期权市场与或有索取权市场)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解第15章期权市场与或有索取权市场一、概念题1.或有索取权(contingent claim)答:或有索取权是一类范围广泛的资产或证券,这种资产未来的收益取决于其他资产或某些不确定事件的结果。
常见的或有索权权有债务和权益资本的或有索取权。
(1)债务资本的或有索取权:债务资本体现为借债的公司承诺在某一确定的时间支付给债权人一笔固定的金额。
一般地,假设债权人得到在年末将获得金额为F的支付承诺。
如果公司年末的价值X,等于或大于F,债权人将获得F。
显然,如果公司不足以支付承诺的金额,公司将会“破产”。
无论这些资产价值多少,它将被迫变现。
债权人所得到的是X。
从数学上来看,这意味着债权人拥有对X和F之间较小数额的索取权。
图15-1表示债权人报酬结构的本质。
图15-1债权人报酬结构的本质(2)权益资本的或有索取权:股东在年末对公司价值的索取权等于支付给债权人之后的剩余部分。
当然,如果公司的价值等于或少于承诺支付给债权人的数额,股东什么都得不到。
用数学公式来表达,如果X>F,股东的索取权是X-F;如果X≤F,股东的索取权等于0。
图15-1描述了这一关系。
总之,债权人的索取权和股东的索取权之和总是等于公司期末的价值。
2.买入期权(call)答:买入期权又称“买方期权”、“看涨期权”、“多头期权”、“敲进”,是指期权买方在合约到期日或有效期内按照预先敲定的交割价格从期权卖方手中买入某种金融资产或商品的权利,是期权交易的种类之一。
购买这种期权以人们预测市场价格将有上涨趋势为前提。
投资者在支付一定的期权费取得该种期权后,在合约到期日或到期日之前的有效期限内,若市场价格超过协定价格与期权费之和的水平,则可通过行使期权以协定价格买入合约规定的一定数量的金融资产或商品,再以市场价格卖出,从而获利。
在市场价格上涨引起期权费上升的情况下,持有者也可在合约有效期限内以较高的期权费转售该种期权,从而获利。
博迪《金融学》第2版课章节练习及详解(投资组合机会和选择)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课章节练习及详解第12章投资组合机会和选择一、概念题1.有效组合(efficient portfolio)(中央财大2012金融硕士;上海财大2000研)答:有效组合指在期望收益率一定时其风险(即标准差)最低的证券组合,或者指在风险一定时其期望收益率最高的证券组合。
有效边界上的点对应的证券组合也称为有效组合。
图12-1有效边界具体来讲,在所有可行的投资组合中,如果证券组合的特征由期望收益率和收益率方差来表示,则投资者需要在E-δ坐标系中的可行域中寻找最好的点,但不可能在可行域中找到一点被所有投资者都认为是最好的。
按照投资者的共同偏好规则,可以排除那些被所有投资者都认为差的组合,排除后余下的这些组合就是有效证券组合。
根据有效组合的定义,有效组合不止一个,描绘在可行域的图形中,如图粗实线部分它是可行域的上边界部分,也即有效边界ABC曲线段(图12-1)。
对于可行域内部及下边界上的任意可行组合,均可以在有效边界上找到一个有效组合比它好。
但有效边界上的不同组合,比如B和C,按共同偏好规则不能区分好差。
因而有效组合相当于有可能被某位投资者选作最佳组合的候选组合,不同投资者可以在有效边界上获得任一位置。
作为一个理性投资者,且厌恶风险,则他不会选择有效边界以外的点。
此外,A点是一个特殊的位置,它是上边界和下边界的交汇点,这一点所代表的组合在所有可行组合中方差最小,因而被称作最小方差组合。
2.市场证券组合(market portfolio)(上海财大2002研)答:市场证券组合指个人或机构投资者所持有的各种与整个资本市场的构成完全相同的有价证券组合的总称,通常包括各种类型的债券、股票及存款单等。
证券组合的分类通常以组合的投资目标为标准。
证券组合按不同标准可以分为避税型、收入型、增长型、收入和增长混合型、货币市场型、国际型及指数化型等。
投资者构建证券组合的原因主要有:①降低风险。
资产组合理论证明,证券组合的风险随着组合所包含证券数量的增加而降低,资产间关联性极低的多元化证券组合可以有效地降低非系统风险。
博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解(金融学)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解第1章金融学一、概念题1.金融学(finance)答:金融学是一项针对人们怎样跨期配置稀缺资源的研究。
其主要研究货币领域的理论及货币资本资源的配置与选择、货币与经济的关系及货币对经济的影响、现代银行体系的理论和经营活动的经济学科,是当代经济学的一个相对独立而又极为重要的分支。
金融学所涵盖的内容极为丰富,诸如货币原理、货币信用与利息原理、金融市场与银行体系、储蓄与投资、保险、信托、证券交易、货币理论、货币政策、汇率及国际金融等。
2.金融体系(financial system)答:金融体系是金融市场以及其他金融机构的集合,这些集合被用于金融合同的订立以及资产和风险的交换。
金融体系是由连接资金盈余者和资金短缺者的一系列金融中介机构和金融市场共同构成的一个有机体,包括股票、债券和其他金融工具的市场、金融中介(如银行和保险公司)、金融服务公司(如金融咨询公司)以及监控管理所有这些单位的管理机构等。
研究金融体系如何发展演变是金融学科的重要方面。
3.资产(assets)答:资产是指个人、公司或者组织拥有的具有商业或交换价值的任何物品,它能在未来产生经济利益,资产有三个非常重要的特征:①能在未来产生经济利益;②由实体控制;③由过去发生的事项或交易产生。
在国民账户体系中,资产是指经济资产,即所有者能对其行使所有权,并在持有或使用期间可以从中获得经济利益的资源或实体。
资产可分为金融资产和非金融资产两大类。
金融资产是指以价值形态或以金融工具形式存在的资产,它包括金融债权以及货币黄金和特别提款权。
非金融资产是指非金融性的资产,它包括生产资产和非生产资产。
在企业财务会计中,资产是指由过去的交易和事项所形成的,并由企业拥有或控制,预期会给企业带来经济利益的资源。
按流动性可分为流动资产和非流动资产两大类。
流动资产是指企业可以在一年或超过一年的一个营业周期内变现或者耗用的资产。
非流动资产是指不能在一年或者超过一年的一个营业周期内变现或耗用的资产。
博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解(管理财务健康状况和业绩)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解第3章管理财务健康状况和业绩一、概念题1.账面价值(book values)答:账面价值是指会计账面所表现的资产价值,分为资产的账面价值和公司的账面价值。
资产的账面价值是指公司的资产在会计账簿上表现的价值,即原来购进资产的价值(资产的成本)减去折旧。
在固定资产购置当期,资产的账面价值等于当期市场价值加上运输、安装、调试等费用。
在固定资产正式投产营运后,每一会计期间都会对该资产计提折旧。
资产的账面价值会随着累计折旧的增加而减少,直到该资产报废时其账面价值仅剩残值,进而转销该资产。
公司的账面价值,是指公司资产负债表上所列示的资产总额减去负债、优先股之后的差额。
账面价值以历史成本为基础,它与一项资产或一个公司的市场价值关系不大。
2.无形资产(intangible assets)答:无形资产是指企业为生产商品、提供劳务、出租给他人,或为管理目的而持有的、没有实物形态的非货币性长期资产,如专利权、商标权、著作权、土地使用权、非专利技术、专营权、商誉等。
无形资产的特征有:①不具有实物形态;②可以在一个以上会计期间为企业提供经济利益;③有偿取得;④提供的未来经济利益具有很大的不确定性;⑤用于生产商品或提供劳务、出租给他人或为了行政管理目的而持有。
无形资产按形成来源不同可分为购入的、自创的、投资者投入的、接受捐赠的无形资产等;按能否辨认可分为可辨认无形资产和不可辨认无形资产。
无形资产只有在该资产产生的经济利益很可能流入企业、该资产的成本能够可靠地计量时,企业才能加以确认。
3.商誉(goodwill)答:商誉是指企业在经营活动中所具有的优越获利能力的潜在经济价值,是一种不可辨认的无形资产。
商誉由企业的良好信誉、产品的较高质量和市场占有率、可靠的销售网络、有效的内部管理、先进的技术、优越的地理位置等因素形成。
其特征是:①商誉与企业整体相关,不能单独存在;②形成商誉的因素无法单独计值;③商誉与形成商誉过程中所发生的成本无关,它是一种获得超额收益的能力。

5.净营运资本的变动额(change in net working capital) 答:净营运资本等于流动资产减去流动负债,净营运资本变动额是指企业投资于净营运 资本的部分,即本期与上一期相比净营运资本变动的数额。假设美国联合公司 2011 年的净 营运资本是 27500 万美元,2010 年的净营运资本是 25200 万美元。则 2011 年的净营运 资本变动额是 2011 年和 2010 年净营运资本的差额,即 27500 万美元-25200 万美元= 2300 万美元。一个成长性企业的净营运资本变动额通常是正数。
8.企业总现金流量(total cash flow of the firm) 答:企业总现金流量是指经过资本性支出和净营运资本支出调整后的现金流量,即: 企业总现金流量=经营性现金流量-资本性支出-净营运资本的增加 其中经营性现金流量指由经营活动引起的现金流;用于资本性支出的现金流量来自固定 资产的净增加额,等于取得固定资产的现金流出量减去出售固定资产的现金流入量;净营运 资本的增加来自营运资本变动的现金流量。企业总现金流量有时为负,当企业以较高的增长 率成长时,用于存货和固定资产的支出就可能大于来自销售的现金流量。

9.同比财务报表与同基财务报表 答:同比财务报表是把普通财务报表的资产负债表各项按照资产的百分比表示,将损益 表的各项按照销售收入的百分 比报表。 同基财务报表是首先选择一个基期,将基期报表上的各项数额的指数均定为 100,其他 各年度财务报表上的数字也均用指数表示,由此得出同基百分比报表,可以查明各项目的变 化趋势。通过同基财务报表,我们可以分析企业经营状况随时间的变化,这种分析也叫做趋 势分析。

博迪《⾦融学》第2版课后习题及详解(居民户的储蓄和投资决策)【圣才出品】博迪《⾦融学》第2版课后习题及详解第5章居民户的储蓄和投资决策⼀、概念题1.⼈⼒资本(human capital)答:⼈⼒资本是指劳动者受到教育、培训、实践经验、迁移、保健等⽅⾯的投资⽽获得的知识和技能的积累,亦称“⾮物⼒资本”。
由于这种知识与技能可以为其所有者带来⼯资等收益,因⽽形成了⼀种特定的资本——⼈⼒资本。
任何使⼈⼒资本增值的活动都是⼈⼒资本投资,包括医疗和保健、在职⼈员培训、正规教育、成⼈教育与培训、迁移者⼯作搜寻等等。
⼈⼒资本投资的决策是⼀种收益与成本的权衡,其成本包括:实际的费⽤或直接的费⽤、放弃的⼯资报酬以及⼼理成本。
投资的预期收益可能是以各种形式表现出来的,⽐如较⾼的未来收⼊、终⾝⼯作满意程度的提⾼、对娱乐活动欣赏⽔平的提⾼以及欣赏兴趣的增长等。
2.永久性收⼊(permanent income)答:永久性收⼊是指消费者可以预期到的长期收⼊,即预期在较长时期中(3年以上)可以维持的稳定的收⼊流量。
永久性收⼊是弗⾥德曼持久收⼊假说中的重要概念,⼤致可以根据所观察到的若⼲年收⼊的数值的加权平均数来计算,估算持久收⼊的计算公式为:YP T=Y T-1+θ(Y T-Y T-1)=θY T-(1-θ)Y T-1(0<θ<1)式中,YP T为现期永久性收⼊,Y T为现期收⼊,Y T-1为前期收⼊,θ为加权数。
该公式说明,现期的永久性收⼊等于前期收⼊和两个时期收⼊变动的⼀定⽐率,或者说等于现期收⼊和前期收⼊的加权平均数。
加权数的⼤⼩取决于⼈们对未来收⼊的预期,这种预期要根据过去的经验进⾏修改,称为适应性预期。
如果⼈们认为前期和后期收⼊变动的时间较长,θ就⼤;反之,前期和后期收⼊变动的时间较短,θ就⼩。
3.跨期预算约束(inter-temporal budget constraint)答:跨期预算约束是指决定⼀⽣消费计划时⾯临的约束条件,即⼀⽣的消费开⽀和遗产的现值等于包括初始财产和未来劳动收⼊在内的⼀⽣资源的现值。
