Let me leave the first comment! I enjoy making videos and feel very happy when you find them useful! Tell us more how you like us to help you and share with other visitors your experience in preparing the exam!

Good luck to everyone!

hey i luv ur videos just wanted to say that can u upload the videos for ethics cuzz i am having problem wth that and cld u suggest sb tips how do i memorize or how can we score gud at the ethics section

Suleman, now I work mostly on things related to calculations because I think this kind of video is the most effective for visitor to take something home. I will try to do an ethics and see the response. And what kind of format you have in mind?

k thanx. format wld be like questions with examples and how to analyze them since i heard the cfa people focus more on ethics section and sb tym ur grade depends on it and ppl take it lightly.

Hi

I like your style and approach in explaining concept in the videos. It makes things really simple to understand.

I am struggling a bit on the accounting treatment of leases as they are not well written in the books. Are you able to spare some time to do video with regards to the accounting treatment or the various leases? i.e. from both lessor’s and lessee’s POV.

Thanks.

Ok, Suleman and Collin, I will put your suggestions in the queue. Will do it in the coming two weeks’ videos. Good luck to your exam!

Thank you Editor, you guys are superb.

Suleman and Collin, the videos you requested are posted. Hope that helps!

I am still struggling a bit with swaps, options, futures. I really enjoy your video explanations, it made it much simpler, especially swaps and the options. What i would like is some practice questions on these topics and the solutions to follow so i can practice to see if i have really understood the topics. Is it possible to make them available soon as i have exams in December.

Hi steph, I just made an video for interest rate swap: http://minute-class.com/finance/interest-rate-swap-concepts-and-exercise-cfa-video/

And you can find currency swap in our previous video: http://minute-class.com/finance/currency-swap-concepts-and-example-cfa-video/

Will this type of question appear? LOS doesn’t seems to want us to calculate, not sure if I would want to spend the remaining week to learn new stuff. Thanks!

BPI issued a 5 year, 4% coupon, $100,000 par value bond with 2000 attached warrants. Each warrant had a $5 market value at issuance and is convertible to an exercise price of $17 into 1 BPI common share ($10 par value). At the time the warrants were exercised, the market value of a common share was $ 24. Which if the following statements is accurate with respect to the accounting for these bonds at the time of exercise?

A. Bond discount is debited $10,000 B. Common Stock is credited $10,000 C. Additional paid in capital is credited $48,000.

Ans: A

Hi Collin, it is still possible that they may ask similar question in the exam though the chance is low. But I would suggest you spending time on other topics with higher chances to appear. After all, this question won’t affect your score too much and you main goal, again, is to pass not to score 100%.

Back to this question, when a bond is issued with warrant, some values have to be attributed to the warrants. It is GIVEN in this question that each warrant worths $5, so $5*2000=$10k should be attributed to warrants and “bond discount” should be debited with $10k. The closest answer is A. But I think when it is exercised, it should be credited instead of debited. Not sure! Anyone has other suggestions?

I am struggling with test statistics. What is the difference between z statistics and t statistics? How is z statistics different from z score? How are z and t statistics calculated?

Hi Ira, t-statistics is used when the population standard deviation is uncertained. When the size is large, t-statistics approaches z statistics. It will be pretty lengthy to answer your other questions. Sorry we are currently busy in helping our paid customers. We will try to write articles on this when we have more time. Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks again for all these lessons. They have been very helpful!

Ira, a video about t and z statistics:

Hi Editor:

Thanks for the video.They are awesome.I do not have background in finace so these are very helpful.

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF CULD MAKE MORE VIDEOS ON Economics topic like Monopsony,Kinked Demand Curve Model, Demand AND Supply for Labor and Capital.

thank you.

Your videos are great!!!

stephDecember 17th, 2009 at 8:15 pm Thank you so much for this video, it really made this concept a whole lot easier. In essence, it is saying that for the interest rate swap, it’s usually the same amount being borrowed in the same currency, all you have to decide which rate to use for the fixed rate payer- well you aloways use the rate at the beginning of the contract and for libor you use the rate prior the period you want.Floating rate minus the fixed, if possitive, you owe the fixed payer and vise versa.

For the currency rate however, you exchange the currencies and also decide which rate to use for the fixed rate payer and libor rate, and you exchange the pincipals at the end.

What i want to find out though, whether we use the same formular for 6mnths payment instead of yearly payments.

Thanks

You have a gr8 initiative in there…I found it very helpful and quite simple way to learn..

Hi, it’s very interesting what u guys are doing, i personally think ur website will be of prime focus for success in the CFA exams. I have a problem paying the subscription. i have a visa card but can not pay via paypal because my country Cameroon is not listed.

Please help me get a solution on how else i can pay you because i want complete access to the videos u’ve posted ASAP

Just wanted to know, if you would be posting the Level 2 videos.

Hi Ramesh, we will post most of the L1 videos first before L2. Sorry for that! For L2 notes, you can refer to http://minute-class.com/finance/cfa-level-2/

Hi Louis, I am sorry for that. In that case, you may need to apply for a Paypal account and transfer money to your paypal account first. We are really sorry for the inconvenience!

well , i just hope there’s also a video about property plant and equipment, depletion,depreciation, impairment of assets and revaluation so that reading would be easy for me because i would be having some background of it when ill be able to watch videos discussing the topics that i have mentioned. thanks a lot

well, i like these videos but fixed income videos needed.

Hi Cate and Muhammad, we are in the process of publishing all CFA L1 topics. If you can let us know which topics you need now, we can do that first. Thanks!

This is really great site. Iam not a finance guy but i decided to take CFA Level 1 by 2010. Videos are really helpful, but i think from a beginer prespective its difficult to navigate. I think if we can organize based on chapters then it would be great.

i would like to have attention to following topics. 1.utility analysis under uncertainty 2.stochastic dominance 3.efficient frontier with short sales and without short sales. 4.black-litterman portfolio optimization. 4.quadratic utility function. 5.R-Square 6. t-states 7.f-states 8.interpretation of results in econometrics. 9.CLRM Assumptions and their violation in depth. 10.interpreting the results via E-Views applications.

thanks
