FNCE 30007 DERIVATIVE SECURITIES INFORMATION ON THE FINAL EXAMINATION Note: This document provides the only information that will be made available to students about the final examination. The examination consists of three sections. o The first section has five multiple choice questions. o The second section has five truefalse questions. o The third section consists of 10 questions. Each question in this section might have multiple parts. o Each multiple choice and truefalse question is worth 1.5 marks. o The questions in the third section are worth between 5 and 18 marks. o The total number of marks is 100. All material in the subject after the first four lectures is directly examinable. This includes all lectures, tutorials, required readings, etc. Please note that although the material in the first four lectures is not directly examinable, this doesn’t mean that you can completely ignore the first four lectures for example, we used the BlackScholesMerton model in Lecture 5. The examination paper provides five pages for rough work. The examination paper also provides space for your answers. I try to provide more space than students will require. Hence, do not feel under any pressure to fill up the space. A short but tightly focused answer usually earns more marks than a verbose, rambling answer, and requires less time to write. Final examination consultation hours can be viewed on the LMS in the final exam folder after they become available. This is a threehour examination plus a 15minute reading time. You are not permitted to write during the reading time. This is a closed book examination. The examination is worth 75% of your final grade. Bring an authorised calculator with you to the examination. A calculator that can store and retrieve text is not an authorised calculator. Bring your student card with you to the examination. A formula sheet and standard normal table will be provided at the end of the examination paper. Copies of the formula sheet and standard normal table are available on the LMS. Good luck!!!
