This Finance Test is designed to help you assess your knowledge on important finance concepts, terminology definitions, and frequently used calculations. We strongly encourage any students who are planning or are beginning their FMVA certification program to take this test to determine whether you will need to take the prerequisite finance courses including Reading Financial Statements, Introduction to Corporate Finance, and Math for Corporate Finance. This is also a useful resource for employers to examine the technical knowledge of the candidates during a finance interview.
If you pass this test with 80% or above (16 questions or more), it is likely that you have a strong background in finance and are good to go ahead with our core courses!

Finance Test Questions
1. The concept of present value relates to the idea that*
The discount rate is always higher when you invest now than in the future
The discount rate is always higher when you invest in the future than now
The money you have now is worth less today than an identical amount you would receive in the future
The money you have now is worth more today than an identical amount you would receive in the future
2. The formula for calculating future value (FV) is*
FV = PV/(1+r)^n
FV = PV/(1+r)*n
FV = PV x (1+r)^n
FV = PV x (1+r)*n
Answer:
the coefficient of elasticity is 1.25. therefore demand is elastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
5% / 4% = 1.25
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded
Answer:
Hence, the firm's total variable cost of producing three units of output is $48 unit.
Thus, the correct option is d. $48 unit.
Explanation:
The computation of total variable cost is shown below:
= marginal cost of the First unit of output + marginal cost of the second unit of output + marginal cost of the third unit of output
= $20 + $16 + $12
= $48
The variable cost include all type of cost which is change when the production level changes. In the given question, the output level changes with the unit which reflects the variable cost. So, the cost would be added in the computation part.
Hence, the firm's total variable cost of producing three units of output is $48 unit.
Thus, the correct option is d. $48 unit.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $2.27 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 3,041 $4,032
February 3,456 $4,608
March 4,147 $6,912
April 5,184 $9,101
May 3,686 $5,760
June 5,322 $9,216
To calculate the unitary variable cost, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (9,216 - 4,032) / (5,322 - 3,041)
Variable cost per unit= $2.27 per machine hour
To conduct monetary policy, it's open market operations. Buying and selling of federal government bonds to influence the money supply in the rate of interest. These operations are responsibility of Federal Open Market Committee. Ask google for more friend, hope I helped!
