In line with our motto, "From Learning to Earning", the final exam will be very practical and will focus on using the knowledge you have acquired in the Financial Management course in your personal life.

The exam will also follow the requirements of the syllabus (i.e. "long questions with partial credit scoring")

We went through the final exam, in class, twice. Here is the question:

"Provide 3 examples, in your personal life, where using the concepts and methods learned in FNCE623 are critical for success.

Detail the logic used, the methodology used and provide convincing numerical examples, as it was done in class.

Explain how exactly the same logic can be used in personal and corporate finance.

Explain, and comment on, how do you arrive to the discount rate in your decisions."

Hints: in class we went through a "life cycle" and determined that there are, at least, the following critical decision points where financial literacy is mission critical: a.selection of your school, b.job market entry, c.purchase of principal residency, d. kids leaving home, e. retirement, and f.estate planning.

We focused on a.selection of your school, c.purchase of principal residency, and e.retirement.

It is advisable to detail the above three decisions, critical in your life."
