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。

A current dividend of $1.00 was paid yesterday by Sophco, and thisdividend is expected to increase by 25% in the first year. After that point, the growth individends is expected to “decay” to the firm’s long-run constant growth of 10%. Sucha “decay” process is one in which dividend growth declines by 5 percentage points peryear up to the point where the expected constant rate of dividend growth is reached. So,year 2 dividend will be 20 percent higher than year 1, year 3 dividends will be 15 percent higher than year 1, and after year 3, dividends will grow by 10 percent forever. Forproblems 40 – 43, assume investors in Sophco require a rate of return of 15%.40.Calculate Sophco’s dividend in year 2.(a)$1.13(b)$1.25(c)$1.5(d)$1.73Answer: (c)41.Calculate the Sophco’s dividend in year 4.(a)$1.24(b)$1.57(c)$1.73(d)$1.90Answer: (d)42.Determine the price of Sophco’s stock at the end of year 3 (just after the dividend has beenpaid).(a)$26.12(b)$28.34(c)$38.00(d)$39.73Answer: (c)43.Calculate the current price of Sophco’s stock.(a)$26.12(b)$28.34(c)$38.00(d)$39.73Answer: (b)Questions 44 through 47 refer to the following information:New competition in Acme Unlimited’s market is going to have an impact on the growth of the firm’s dividends. A current dividend of $1.50 was paid yesterday, and thisdividend is expected to increase by 35% in the first year. After that point, the growth individends is expected to “decay” to the firm’s long run constant growth of 5%. Such a “decay” process is one in which dividend growth declines by 10 percentage points per year up to the point where the expected constant rate of dividend growth is reached. So, year 2 dividend will be 25 percent higher than year 1, year 3 dividend will be 15 percent higher, and after year 3, dividends will grow by 5 percent forever.

When acompany pays a cash dividend, all shareholders receive cash in amounts proportional to the number of shares they own.In a share repurchase, the company pays cash to buy shares of its stock in the stockmarket, thereby reducing the number of shares outstanding. In this case, onlyshareholders who choose to sell some of their shares will receive cash.2.Does growth “per se” add value to the current price of a share? If not, what does add valueto a share’s current price?Answer:Growth per se does not add value. What adds value is the opportunity to invest inprojects that can earn rates of return in excess of the required rate, k. When a firm’sfuture investment opportunities yield a rate of return equal to k, the stock’s value can be estimated using the formula P0 = E1/k.3.In order to evaluate the stock of DippinDonuts, an analyst uses the constant growthdiscounted dividend model. Expected earnings of $15 per share are assumed, as are anearnings retention rate of 70% and an expected rate of return on future investments of 18% per year. If the market capitalization rate is 15% per year, what is the implied net present value of future investments?Answer:g = 0.7 x 0.18= 12.6%Use the constant growth formula to solve for P0:P0 = D1/(k – g)= 4.50/(0.15-0.126)= $187.50Next find P0 with the formula P0 = E1/k:= 15/0.15= $100The NPV of future investments is the difference between these two values: $187.50 –$100 = $87.504.In order to evaluate the stock of EasyStreet Corporation, an analyst uses the constant growthdiscounted dividend model. Expected earnings of $16 per share are assumed, as are anearnings retention rate of 60% and expected rate of return on future investments of 17% per year. If the market capitalization rate is 14% per year, what is the implied net present value of future investments?Answer:g = 0.6 X 0.17= 10.2%Use the constant growth formula to solve for P0:P0 = D1/(k – g)= $6.40/(0.14 – 0.102)= $168.42Next find P0 with the formula P0 = E1/k:= 16/0.14= $114.29The NPV of future investments is the difference between the two values: $168.42 –$114.29 = $54.13.anic Earth stock is expected to pay a dividend of $2.70 per share a year from now, and itsdividends are expected to grow by 7% per year thereafter. If its price is now $30 per share, what must be the market capitalization rate?Answer:Use the constant growth formula to solve for k:P0 = D1/(k – g)30 = 2.70/(k – 0.07)k = 16%6.Walch stock currently sells for $27.62 a share, and is expected to pay a dividend of D1 a yearfrom now. If its dividends are expected to grow by 4.5% per year thereafter and thecapitalization rate is 15% per year, what is the value of D1?Answer:Use the constant growth formula to solve for D1:P0 = D1/(k – g)D1 = P0(k – g)= $27.62(0.15 – 0.045)= $2.907.Discuss how outside investors may interpret an increase in a corporation’s cash dividend asopposed to a decrease.Answer:Investors may interpret an increase in a corporation’s cash dividend as a positive sign since it would suggest that management is confident the earnings can be sustained in the future.The result is most likely to be an increase in stock price. A decrease could be viewed as a bad signal that will most likely cause a decline in stock price.8.Consider the balance sheet of SureThing Corporation:Assets Liabilities and Shareholders’ EquityCash: $3 million Debt: $3 millionOther Assets: $11 million Equity: $11 millionTotal: $14 million Total: $14 millionNumber of shares outstanding = 440,000Price per share = $25If SureThing pays a cash dividend of $2.50 per share, what will the balance sheet look like afterward?Answer:Balance sheet after payment of cash dividend:Assets Liabilities and Shareholders’ EquityCash: $1.9 million Debt: $3 millionOther assets: $11 million Equity: $9.9 millionTotal: $12.9 million Total: $12.9 millionNumber of shares outstanding = 440,000Price per share = $22.509.Consider the balance sheet of SureThing Corporation:Assets Liabilities and Shareholders’ EquityCash: $3 million Debt: $3 millionOther assets: $11 million Equity: $11 millionTotal: $14 million Total: $14 millionNumber of shares outstanding = 440,000Price per share = $25If SureThing Corporation repurchases shares worth $2.5 million, what will the new balance sheet for SureThing Corporation look like?Answer:Balance sheet after share repurchase:Assets Liabilities and Shareholders’ EquityCash: $0.5 million Debt: $3 millionOther assets: $11 million Equity: $8.5 millionTotal: $11.5 million Total: $11.5 million Number of shares outstanding = 340,000Price per share = $2510.Consider the balance sheet of SureThing Corporation:Assets Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Cash: $3 million Debt: $3 million Other assets: $11 million Equity: $11 million Total: $14 million Total: $14 million Number of shares outstanding = 440,000Price per share = $25If SureThing is paying a 20% stock dividend, what will the number of shares outstanding be?What will be the price per share?What would be the effect of a two-for-one stock split?Answer:After paying a 20% stock dividend:Number of shares outstanding = 528,000Price per share = $20.83After a two-for-one stock split:Number of shares outstanding = 880,000Price per share = $12.5011.Gough Fraser is considering purchasing the stock of ASIOA Companies, which he plans tohold indefinitely.

The annualpercentage rate is 9% and payments are made annually over 5 years. Construct the loan-amortization schedule for the annual paymentsAnswer:n i PV FV PMT Result5 9 –$120,000 0 ? PMT = $30,856Loan Amortization Schedule is as follows:3.You are 60 years old and are considering whether it pays to buy an annuity from an insurancecompany. For a cost of $25,000, the insurance company will pay you $3,000 per year for the rest of your life. If you can earn 8% per year on your money in a bank account and expect to live until age 80, is it worth buying the annuity? What implied interest rate is the insurance company paying you?Answer: First compute the present value of the annuity.n i PV FV PMT Result20 8 ? 0 $3,000 PV = $29,454.44Now compute the NPV of the investment of the annuity:NPV = $29,454.44 - $25,000= $4,454.44So the annuity looks worth buying.To compute the implied interest rate on the annuity, we need to find the discountrate that makes the NPV zero. On a financial calculator, we find the answer to be10.32% per year.4. Gemma Peel is 30 years today and she wishes to accumulate enough money over the next 35 years to provide for a 20 year retirement annuity of $100,000 at the beginning of each year, starting with her 65th birthday. Assume the rate of the return over the entire period will be 11%. What is the present value of this annuity?Answer:n i PV FV PMT Result20 11 ? 0 $100,000 PV = $883,9295. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar is currently $0.69190 perCanadian dollar, the dollar interest rate is 6% per year, and the Canadian dollar interest rate is7% per year. You have $100,000 in a one-year account that allows you to choose betweeneither currency and it pays the corresponding interest rate. What is the “break-even” valueof the dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate one year from now?Answer:U.S. today One year from now$1 @6% $1.06Canadian today One year from now$1.44530(Cdn) @7% $1.54647“Break-even” point = $1.06/1.54647 (Cdn dollar)= $0.68543 per Canadian dollar6.Assume that you have just taken out a $300,000 30 year mortgage with monthly payments atan annual 8 percent rate.

Such financial applications include the discounted-cash-flow valuation modelfor stocks and in models used in making capital-budgeting decisions.2.List two assumptions of the CAPM model. How is an investor expected or assumed to behave in theworld of the CAPM model?Answer:(1) Investors have the same expectations or agree in their forecasts of expected rates of return,standard deviations, and correlations of the risky securities, and will therefore hold riskyassets in the same relative proportions.(2) Investors will generally behave optimally. In equilibrium, the prices of securities adjust sothat when investors are holding their optimal portfolios, the aggregate demand for eachsecurity is equal to its supply.3.Suppose there are four securities: Oz stock, Xanadu stock, Ragtime stock, and a risk-free asset.

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(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。

如:假如要投资一匹赛马要花费10万美元,但你仅有1万美 元进行投资,如果存在一种从肉体上将这匹赛马分成10份的 方法,那么你可以买一份。通过一项投资组合并向投资者分 配股份的方式,该赛马在比赛中获取的收入将在所以股东中 分配。

2.3.5 功能5 :提供信息


金融体系可以提供有助于在不同经济部门中协调分 散性决策的价格信息。 如:你和你姐姐继承了一个家族的企业,并且它将 在你们之间平均分配。你们并不希望出售它,因为 你们中的一位希望继续经营该企业。另一位应当获 得多少?显然,了解类似资产的市场价格横了另一 位获得多少是非常有用的。

学习曲线(the learning curve),也称为经验曲线,体现了 熟能生巧。学习曲线是分析采购成本、实施采购降价的 一个重要工具和手段。一个人随着经验的积累会越来越 熟练,学习曲线提供了使这个原理定量化的分析框架。
公司组织形式怎样为这种分离提供便利?

答:由于公司形式可以在不影响企业运作的 条件下,通过股份转让使所有者相对频繁的 变更成为可能,因此尤其适合所有者与管理 者的分离。


如:德国公民投资于位于俄罗斯的公司所发心的股 票;德国银行向俄罗斯企业提供贷款。
2.3.2 功能2:管理风险


金融体系提供了管理风险的途径,就像资金通过金 融体系转移,风险也可以通过金融体系进行转移。 如:你需要10万美元开办一家企业,但你没有钱,那 么你就是一个资金赤字单位。你需要说服一位投资 者(资金盈余单位)提供7万美元换取公司75%的 利润份额,同时你说服一家银行(金融中介)贷3 万元给你。于是,风险就从你那里转移到了投资者 和银行身上。
收购如何起到市场性管束的作用?
无论管理混乱的根源是管理者不称职还是管理者 对不同目标的追求,收购机制都可以将其矫正。 这个作用就像市场对经济的资源配置的作用是一 样的。

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解博迪的《金融学》第2版是一本广泛使用的金融学教材,其中的课后习题对于学生理解和掌握金融学概念和理论具有重要意义。

本文将选取一些具有代表性的课后习题,并提供详细的解答和分析。

答:金融学是一项针对人们怎样跨期配置稀缺资源的研究。

它涉及货币、投资、证券、银行、保险、基金等领域,主要研究如何在不确定的环境下对资源进行跨时期分配,以实现最大化的收益或满足特定的目标。

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。

它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。

假设某个投资者在2022年购买了一张面值为1000元,年利率为5%的债券,并在2023年以1100元的价格卖出。

请问该投资者的年化收益率是多少?(1100 - 1000) / 1000 × 100% = 10%其中,分子部分为投资者获得的收益,分母部分为投资者的初始投资金额。

答:现代金融学的三个主要理论包括资本资产定价模型(CAPM)、有效市场假说(EMH)和现代投资组合理论(MPT)。

资本资产定价模型(CAPM)是一种用来决定资产合理预期收益的模型,它认为资产的预期收益与该资产的系统性风险有关。

在投资决策中,投资者可以通过比较不同资产的预期收益与其系统性风险来确定最优投资组合。

有效市场假说(EMH)认为市场是有效的,即市场上的价格反映了所有可用信息。

根据这个理论,投资者无法通过分析信息来获取超额收益。

然而,在实践中,许多研究表明市场并非完全有效,投资者可以通过分析和利用信息来获得超额收益。

现代投资组合理论(MPT)是由Harry Markowitz于20世纪50年代提出的,它认为投资者应该通过多元化投资来降低风险。
