题 6(L092 · 年金 PV 计算)

题 10(L096 · 连续复利)

$25,000 以连续复利年利率 7% 投资 5 年。终值计算公式为:

A. FV = 25,000 × (1 + 0.07)^5 B. FV = 25,000 × e^(0.07 × 5) C. FV = 25,000 × (1 + 0.07 / 12)^60 D. FV = 25,000 × ln(0.07 × 5)


三、答案与解析


题 1 答案:D

解析:

  • A ✅ 正确:FV = PV × (1 + r)^n,r 越大,FV 越大
  • B ✅ 正确:PV = FV / (1 + r)^n,n 越大,分母越大,PV 越小
  • C ✅ 正确:r > 0 时,(1 + r)^n > 1(n ≥ 1),FV > PV;若 n = 0 则 FV = PV
  • D ❌ 错误:折现率越高,PV = FV / (1 + r)^n 越小,未来收到的 1 元今天值更少的钱

常考辨析:分清「今天→未来」用乘法、「未来→今天」用除法。


题 2 答案:B($110)

计算过程:

  • 单利利息 = PV × r × n = 10,000 × 0.06 × 3 = $1,800
  • 复利终值 = 10,000 × (1.06)^3 = 10,000 × 1.191016 = $11,910.16
  • 复利利息 = 11,910.16 − 10,000 = $1,910.16
  • 差额 = 1,910.16 − 1,800 = $110.16 ≈ $110

复利额外收益 = 利滚利(利息再投资产生的利息)。PV 越大、r 越高、n 越长,差额越大。


题 3 答案:B($321,800)

计算过程:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n = 500,000 / (1.065)^7

(1.065)^7 = 1.065^3 × 1.065^4 ≈ 1.2079 × 1.2865 = 1.55399

PV = 500,000 / 1.55399 = $321,754 ≈ $321,800

7 年的折现,$500,000 被利率「吃掉」约 36%,只值今天的 $32 万。


题 4 答案:B($47,900)

计算过程:

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n = 18,000 × (1.085)^12

(1.085)^4 ≈ 1.38586 → (1.085)^12 = (1.38586)^3 ≈ 2.66153

FV = 18,000 × 2.66153 = $47,907.5 ≈ $47,900

8.5% 下 12 年翻到 2.66 倍,展示了复利的威力。


题 5 答案:C

解析:

  • A ❌:普通年金 = 期末,预付年金 = 期初(说反了)
  • B ❌:预付年金每笔现金流少折现一期 → PV_预付 > PV_普通
  • C ✅:预付年金每笔现金流多复利一期 → FV_预付 = FV_普通 × (1 + r)
  • D ❌:方向反了

口诀:预付年金「快一步」——更早收钱 → PV 更高,更早投资 → FV 更高。


题 6 答案:B($634,200)

计算过程:

普通年金 PV = PMT × PVIFA(5%, 25)

PVIFA = [1 − 1/(1.05)^25] / 0.05 1.05^25 ≈ 3.38635 PVIFA = (1 − 1/3.38635) / 0.05 = (1 − 0.29530) / 0.05 = 0.70470 / 0.05 = 14.0940

PV = 45,000 × 14.0940 = $634,230 ≈ $634,200

退休规划是 CFA 一级高频考点:PV_年金 = 退休那一刻需要的总资金。


题 7 答案:C($75.00)

计算过程:

永续年金 PV = PMT / r = 6.00 / 0.08 = $75.00

优先股是最经典的永续年金:固定股息 ÷ 要求回报率 = 内在价值。


题 8 答案:B($15,940)

计算过程:

逐笔折现并求和:

年份 现金流 折现因子(1.08^n) PV
1 $2,000 1.0800 $1,851.85
2 $4,000 1.1664 $3,429.36
3 $6,000 1.2597 $4,763.04
4 $8,000 1.3605 $5,880.24
合计 $15,924.49

最接近选项 B $15,940。

不均匀现金流没有简便公式,必须逐笔折现求和。考试时用计算器 CF 工作表快速求解。


题 9 答案:C(19.72%)

计算过程:

EAR = (1 + r/m)^m − 1 = (1 + 0.18/365)^365 − 1

(1 + 0.18/365)^365 = (1.00049315)^365 ≈ e^(0.18 − 0.18^2/(2×365) + ...) ≈ e^0.1798 ≈ 1.1972

EAR = 1.1972 − 1 = 0.1972 = 19.72%

日复利的 EAR(19.72%)显著高于名义利率 18%。复利频率越高 → EAR 越大,但收敛于 e^r − 1(连续复利上限 19.72%)。


题 10 答案:B

解析:

连续复利公式:FV = PV × e^(r × t)

  • A:普通年复利公式,非连续复利
  • B ✅:连续复利公式,e^(0.07×5) = e^0.35
  • C:月复利公式
  • D:ln 是对数函数,不是终值计算公式

连续复利 = 复利频率的极限(m → ∞)。公式是 FV = PV × e^(r×n),是 CFA 一级必记公式之一。

III. Answers and Explanations


Question 1 – Answer: D

Explanation:

  • A ✓ Correct: FV = PV × (1 + r)^n; as r increases, FV increases
  • B ✓ Correct: PV = FV / (1 + r)^n; as n increases, the denominator grows, so PV decreases
  • C ✓ Correct: When r > 0, (1 + r)^n > 1 (for n ≥ 1), so FV > PV; if n = 0 then FV = PV
  • D ✗ Incorrect: The higher the discount rate, the lower the PV (PV = FV / (1 + r)^n). A future dollar is worth less today when discount rates are higher.

Key distinction: Today → Future uses multiplication; Future → Today uses division.


Question 2 – Answer: B ($110)

Calculation:

  • Simple interest = PV × r × n = 10,000 × 0.06 × 3 = $1,800
  • Compound FV = 10,000 × (1.06)^3 = 10,000 × 1.191016 = $11,910.16
  • Compound interest = 11,910.16 − 10,000 = $1,910.16
  • Difference = 1,910.16 − 1,800 = $110.16 ≈ $110

The extra return from compounding = interest on interest. Larger PV, higher r, and longer n all increase the gap.


Question 3 – Answer: B ($321,800)

Calculation:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n = 500,000 / (1.065)^7

(1.065)^7 = 1.065^3 × 1.065^4 ≈ 1.2079 × 1.2865 = 1.55399

PV = 500,000 / 1.55399 = $321,754 ≈ $321,800

After 7 years of discounting at 6.5%, $500,000 is worth only about $322k today — nearly 36% lost to the time value of money.


Question 4 – Answer: B ($47,900)

Calculation:

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n = 18,000 × (1.085)^12

(1.085)^4 ≈ 1.38586 → (1.085)^12 = (1.38586)^3 ≈ 2.66153

FV = 18,000 × 2.66153 = $47,907.5 ≈ $47,900

At 8.5%, $18,000 grows to 2.66× over 12 years — the power of compounding in action.


Question 5 – Answer: C

Explanation:

  • A ✗: Ordinary annuity = end of period; Annuity due = beginning of period (reversed)
  • B ✗: Annuity due payments are discounted one fewer period → PV_due > PV_ordinary
  • C ✓: Each annuity due payment compounds one extra period → FV_due = FV_ordinary × (1 + r)
  • D ✗: Direction is reversed

Memory aid: Annuity due is always "one step ahead" — higher PV (money received sooner) and higher FV (money invested sooner).


Question 6 – Answer: B ($634,200)

Calculation:

Ordinary annuity PV = PMT × PVIFA(5%, 25)

PVIFA = [1 − 1/(1.05)^25] / 0.05 1.05^25 ≈ 3.38635 PVIFA = (1 − 1/3.38635) / 0.05 = (1 − 0.29530) / 0.05 = 0.70470 / 0.05 = 14.0940

PV = 45,000 × 14.0940 = $634,230 ≈ $634,200

Retirement planning is a high-frequency CFA Level I topic. The PV of this annuity = total capital needed at retirement.


Question 7 – Answer: C ($75.00)

Calculation:

Perpetuity PV = PMT / r = 6.00 / 0.08 = $75.00

Preferred stock is the classic perpetuity application: fixed dividend ÷ required return = intrinsic value.


Question 8 – Answer: B ($15,940)

Calculation:

Discount each cash flow and sum:

Year Cash Flow Discount Factor (1.08^n) PV
1 $2,000 1.0800 $1,851.85
2 $4,000 1.1664 $3,429.36
3 $6,000 1.2597 $4,763.04
4 $8,000 1.3605 $5,880.24
Total $15,924.49

Closest to option B $15,940.

Uneven cash flows have no shortcut formula — must discount each individually. On the exam, use the CF worksheet on your calculator.


Question 9 – Answer: C (19.72%)

Calculation:

EAR = (1 + r/m)^m − 1 = (1 + 0.18/365)^365 − 1

(1 + 0.18/365)^365 ≈ e^0.1798 ≈ 1.1972

EAR = 1.1972 − 1 = 0.1972 = 19.72%

Daily compounding EAR (19.72%) is significantly higher than the nominal 18%. Higher compounding frequency → higher EAR, converging to e^r − 1 under continuous compounding.


Question 10 – Answer: B

Explanation:

Continuous compounding formula: FV = PV × e^(r × t)

  • A: Standard annual compounding — not continuous
  • B ✓: Correct continuous compounding formula: e^(0.07 × 5) = e^0.35
  • C: Monthly compounding formula
  • D: ln is the natural logarithm, not a future value formula

Continuous compounding = the limit as compounding frequency approaches infinity. FV = PV × e^(r×n) is one of the must-memorize formulas for CFA Level I.
