,LO 1.2.2
Bill and Sophia have recently retired and want to travel to Europe and then
volunteer for local mission work. They would also like to meet with Humphrey, their
financial planner, to discuss charitable contributions they would like to make to
these local missions. Humphrey should determine Bill and Sophia's life cycle phase to
be
A)
the asset accumulation phase.
B)
the distribution phase.
C)
the conservation phase.
D)
the protection phase. - ANSWER: The correct answer is the distribution phase. The
distribution/gifting phase begins subtly when a couple realizes that they can afford
to spend on things they never believed possible. The asset accumulation and
conservation/protection phases make this phase possible. For many people, there is
a period when they are being influenced by all three phases simultaneously, though
not necessarily to the same degree.
LO 1.1.2
Whitney is designing her new email template which will reflect her recent
certification as a CFP® professional. Under her name, she has identified herself as a
CFP™. In a tagline at the bottom of the template, she advertises herself as a "CFP®
expert." According to CFP Board's guidelines regarding how the CFP®" marks may be
used, which of the following is CORRECT?
Whitney has appropriately identified herself as a CFP™.
Advertising herself as a CFP® expert is prohibited by CFP Board.
A)
Both I and II
B)
I only
C)
II only
D)
Neither I nor II - ANSWER: The correct answer is II only. Statement I is incorrect.
Although, Whitney can identify herself as a CFP®, it must be done behind her name,
not under it. If Whitney wants to identify herself under her name, she should do so
as a ™. Statement II is correct. "CFP®" must always be used with one of CFP Board's
approved nouns ("certificant", "professional", "practitioner", "certification", "mark",
or "exam") unless directly following the name of the individual certified by CFP
Board. Here, it can be used alone.
LO 1.2.1
, Maxine, age 57, would like to retire in 10 years. Currently, her debt is decreasing as
her cash flow and net worth are steadily increasing. Based on Maxine's current
financial life cycle phase, which of the following goals is she likely to have?
A)
Short-term goals, such as saving for a down payment on a home
B)
Short-term goals, such as protection and maintenance of current lifestyle
C)
Long-term goals, such as estate planning and preservation of capital
D)
Long-term goals, such as investing for retirement - ANSWER: The correct answer is
long-term goals, such as investing for retirement. Maxine is in the
conservation/protection phase of the financial life cycle. As such, her goals are likely
longer-term goals, such as investing to provide for future retirement income. In the
accumulation phase of the financial life cycle, clients have only limited discretionary
income and, as a result, they are likely to focus on short-term, cost-of-living goals.
Finally, in the distribution/gifting phase, estate planning and capital preservation are
usually most important.
