All of the following are accurate statements about Roth IRAs EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: A
Solution
A is correct. Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars and are NOT deductible, so the claim of a deduction in the year made is the false statement. Qualified distributions of earnings come out federal-income-tax-free, the original owner has no lifetime required minimum distributions, and contributions are funded with after-tax dollars.
Question 2
Medium
An adviser explains stock order mechanics to a client. All of the following statements are accurate EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. A buy stop order is placed above the current market price; it is used to enter a long position on upside momentum or to cap a loss on a short sale, and it activates when the stock trades at or above the stop. Placing it below the market is incorrect, making it the exception. The other statements correctly describe a buy limit (entered below the market, filled at the limit or a better price), a sell stop (activated at or below the stop), and a market order (filled promptly at the best available price).
Question 3
Hard
All of the following are accurate statements about Modern Portfolio Theory and the Capital Asset Pricing Model EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct because it is the false statement (the exception). Diversification reduces unsystematic (firm-specific) risk, but systematic (market) risk cannot be diversified away no matter how many securities are added. That is precisely why CAPM prices a security on its systematic risk, measured by beta, rather than its total risk. The other statements correctly describe MPT and CAPM: imperfectly correlated assets produce a diversification benefit that lowers portfolio standard deviation, and the efficient frontier identifies the maximum expected return available for each level of risk.
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who has passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance, all on his first attempt. He paid four-figure prep fees along the way.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 40 exams with more than 46,000 original practice questions.
