I thought it was a good idea for us 2009 candidates to start sharing questions and test each other’s ability to answer them. For those who just completed the L1 in Dec., you can answer them if you want to help out. If you are burned out from studying for the past 6 months, then you shouldn’t be in the L1 forum in the first place, unless you already know you failed the exam. You can share your own questions as well. I’m just starting to read FSA right now, so don’t expect me to answer any FSA questions. I’ll take a shot at any Ethics, Quant, & Econs questions though. Question 1: A bank pays a 5% interest rate, compounded continuously. If a person deposits $10,000 in this bank for 3 years, what will the bank account be worth at the end of that time? a) $11,523 b) $11,576 c) $11,618 Question 2: A preferred stock is bought today for $35.
