1、Wang Dazong, CFA, is a sole proprietor investment advisor. Dazong believes in putting his money at risk along with his clients and trades the same securities as his clients. In order to ensure fair treatment of all accounts, he rotates trade allocations so that each account has an equal likelihood of receiving a fill on their orders. This allocation procedure also applies to Dazong's own account. According to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, the allocation procedure used by Dazong:【单选题】 A.complies with the Standards.
B.requires revision to ensure client trades take precedence. C.should be disclosed and written approval received from clients. 正确答案:B
答案解析:\"Guidance for Standards I-VII,” CFA InstituteB is correct because Standard VI (B) requires client transactions to be given precedence over transactions made on behalf of the members or candidate's firm or personal transactions. Because the advisor trades alongside his clients and allocates trades on a rotating basis, there are times when the advisor’s trades will receive priority over his clients in violation of the Code and Standards. A member or candidate having the same investment positions or being co-invested with clients does not always create a conflict. Some clients in certain investment situations require members or candidates to have aligned interests. Personal investment positions or transactions of members or candidates or their firms should never, however, adversely affect client investments.
2、If a government increases its spending on domestically produced goods by an amount that is financed by the same increase in taxes, the aggregate demand will most likely:【单选题】 A.increase. B.decrease. C.remain unchanged. 正确答案:A
答案解析:“Monetary and Fiscal Policy,” Andrew Clare and Stephen ThomasDetermine whether a fiscal policy is expansionary or contractionary.A is correct. Aggregate demand rises when the government increases spending by the same amount as it raises taxes because the marginal propensity to spend out of disposable income is less than 1, and hence for every dollar less in disposable income, spending only falls by c (where c is the marginal propensity to consume in dollars). Aggregate spending will fall less than the tax rise by a factor c. This additional output will, in turn, lead to further increases in income and output through the multiplier effect. 3、The following information for the current year is available for a company that prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.The company’s operating profit (in $000s) is closest to:【单选题】 A.1,850.
