Business Finance Tuition / Corporate Finance Tuition

I decided to teach Finance as it is closely related to Accounting. My approach is the same way I teach accounting. I tell students the origin of the concept and the subsequent application.

I seek to prove that its not the content but the thinking that matters.

As usual, its not what is said but what is done that makes the difference.

1. MCQ Question Bank

From 2017 onwards, for UOL students taking Financial Management (AC 3059), the computation component of the exam has increased to 80%.

Often the computation question is swamped with confusing details. Most beginners struggle to understand the question. Answering the question is a nightmare.

Step-by-step, Mr Chong builds up his student’s foundation by using the question bank.

Sample question

Currently, the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. On the basis of this information, which of the following statements is most correct?

a. If a stock has a negative beta, its required return must also be negative.
b. If stock's beta doubles, its required return must also double.
c. An index fund with beta = 1.0 has a required return of 11%
d. Statements a and c are correct.
e. Statements b and c are correct.

Sample answers

CAPM equation: ks = kRF + (kM - kRF)b.
kRF = 6%; RPM = 5%;

Statement a is false. Just because a stock has a negative beta does not mean its return is also negative.

For example, if its beta were -0.5, its return would be as follows:
K = kRF + RPM(b)
= 6% + 5%(-0.5)
= 6% + (-2.5%)
= 3.5%

Statement b is also false. If the beta doubles, the second term in the CAPM equation above will double; however, kRF will not double, so the overall return will not double.

Statement c is correct. If b = 1.0, then:
K = kRF + RPM(b)
= 6% + 5%(1.0)
= 11%

There are at least 50 MCQ with detailed answers for each topic listed below. These questions provide an insight to how exam questions can be crafted. An invaluable tool for beginners.

i. Financial Markets and Interest Rates
ii. Time Value of Money
iii. Risk and Rates of Returns
iv. Financial Statement Analysis
v. Valuation of Stock
vi. Cost of Capital
vii. Capital Budgeting
viii. Capital Structure
