error in mock exam afternoon session

afternoon, solution, capital, current, assets
this is soooooo irritating. Q51: calculate FCFE. Simple eh? EXCEPT for the fact that the solution shows the calculation for changes in working capital as Changes in current assets less changes in current liabilities. BUT for FCF, changes in nwc should expressly exclude changes in cash, short term notes, and the current portion of long term notes. (CFAI Volume 4 p391 last paragraph). so the mock exam solution is wrong, imho.

relax, CFA employes are human and they make mistakes

this has been discussed in 2 threads before....you are right....
for your own sake try the search...

CFA mocks are very poorly written...seems like someone puts it together in a couple of hours...

and the sample exams are even worse...it seems like they said let us have someone spend an hour of their time making up an exam and we see how many people will pay for it...

and further to that, why, in the very next question, do they insist on discounting FCFE by the "required rate of return on the stock" (which i read as WACC) when in fact, it should be discounted at the cost of equity?

The discounted by required return on stock which is cost of equity...

Your understanding of required return on the stock as WACC is very wrrong...

Think of it this way, when you are buying a stock, what are you buying? You are buying equity only.

So your required return on stock is cost of equity.

If you have been working very hard lately take a break. Cause you should not be making such a mistake...

Best of luck..

I don't have it in front of me, but if I remember correctly, and with similar problems, if they don't give you the breakdown of current assets & current liabs, then you're forced to do just the change in CA- change in CL, no?
