End of the Chapter Questions and Problems



The following questions and problems are usually not collected or graded.  They are used as examples of what might appear on the quizzes or exams.  They are also used in class discussion.   Questions and problems with “*” are key to understanding primary learning objectives.  The Web Exercises and Spreadsheet exercises may be required as part of an assignment.  I usually modify the exercise for the collected assignment.


Chapters refer to the Reilly and Norton text entitled Investments, 7th edition, Thompson South-Western, 2006.   Solutions to the questions and problems are available for downloading at the course’s D2L site.
