サンプル問題 1: The concept of the Sharpe ratio is to measure the:
A: Amount of performance attributable to a benchmark
B: Return above a risk-free rate
C: Effect the annual charge has on fund performance
D: Ability of the fund manager in different scenarios
正解:B
Explanation: Sharpe Ratio Defined The Sharpe ratio measuresrisk-adjusted return, specifically the excess return over the risk-free rate per unit of volatility. Formula: Sharpe Ratio=Portfolio Return - Risk-Free RateStandard Deviation of Portfolio Returns ext{Sharpe Ratio} = rac{ ext{Portfolio Return - Risk-Free Rate}}{ ext{Standard Deviation of Portfolio Returns}}Sharpe Ratio=Standard Deviation of Portfolio ReturnsPortfolio Return - Risk-Free Rate? Why the Answer is B The ratio quantifies the return generated for each unit of risk taken, relative to the risk-free rate. Why Other Options are Incorrect A. Benchmark performance: The Sharpe ratio does not measure performance relative to a benchmark. C. Annual charge effect: Unrelated to fund expenses. D. Manager ability: Focuses on risk-adjusted returns, not managerial skill. ICWIM Study Guide, Chapter on Risk-Adjusted Metrics: Explains the Sharpe ratio. Portfolio Management Literature: Highlights its use in assessing performance. Reference: Thus, the correct answer isB. Return above a risk-free rate
サンプル問題 2: Once a company reaches the point known as the minimum efficient scale, the "theory of the firm" suggests that the company should:
A: Halt its output expansion
B: Accelerate its output expansion
C: Increase its unit price
D: Decrease its unit price
正解:D
Explanation: Minimum Efficient Scale: This is the point where a company achieves the lowest average cost per unit due to economies of scale. Once this level is reached, the firm can afford to lower prices to remain competitive and expand market share. Elimination of Other Options: A: Halting expansion would waste the cost advantages achieved. B: Accelerating output expansion could lead to diseconomies of scale. C: Increasing unit prices is counterintuitive at this stage. Reference: ICWIM Module 3: Coverage of cost structures and the theory of the firm.
サンプル問題 3: A business may need key person protection because:
A: The business relies on the input of an individual
B: It is a very small business
C: It is to cover a very significant customer
D: Its profits are very seasonal
正解:A
Explanation: Key Person Protection: This insurance protects a business against financial loss if a critical employee (e.g., founder, CEO) becomes incapacitated or dies. It is designed to mitigate reliance on essential individuals whose absence would disrupt operations. Elimination of Other Options: B: Size of the business is not the determining factor. C: Significant customers are protected under other insurance (e.g., credit insurance). D: Seasonal profits do not relate to key person risk. Reference: ICWIM Module 5: Focus on business risk management and insurance needs.
