Note
The following memorization cards are a compilation of various topics you will need to know for the CFP Exam. The cards cover the calculator, economics, and investment topics.
You will want to use this format to add topics you need to memorize for the exam.
Using the Formulas
Assume a client wants to know the Future Value of an investment of $500 in an investment with an interest rate of 6%, which they will sell in 4 years.
1. First what is the Multiplication Factor?
2. What is the Future Value?
FV = PV (1+i )n Using the (yx) Key
1.06 yx 4 =, you will see the factors is: 1.2625
If you multiply the $500 by the factor you get the following answer:
$500 x 1.2625 = $631.25
You can check it with your calculator: 500 +/- PV, 4 n, 6 i, FV = $632.2385
Using TVM Tables

First remember to use the correct table. There are different tables for different types of problems.
Here if you cross-reference the 6% and the 4 periods, you will see the factors is: 1.2625
If you multiply the $500 by the factor you get the following answer, $500 x 1.2625 = $631.25
You can check it with your calculator: 500 +/- PV, 4 n, 6 i, FV = $632.2385

Using Your Financial Calculator
Only think in terms of Number of Periods (Not years or quarters)
You only need to take a small number of different factors into consideration from each TVM Problem, and plug them into your calculator:
PV FV PMT
n (Remember, this is not necessarily the number of years)
i (Also, this is not necessarily the annual rate)
Begin
Cash Flow Keys Include (note that these keys are not used with the others and vice versa):
CFj Nj
NPV IRR
For both problems you will need the:
+/-, This key tells the calculator that money is going INTO the problem. The easy way to remember this is to: Always use the +/- key when you are taking money out of your pocket and putting it into the problem!
Serial Interest Rate: (1 + Growth Rate ÷ 1 + Inflation Rate) – 1 x 100 =
Things to REMBER!!! When Using Your Financial Calculator
Always Clear Your Calculator before and after doing each problem!
Pay attention to when cash flows are happening. Are they Annuity Due or Ordinary Annuity Problems? Then always set your calculator back to Ordinary Annuity when finished.
For Semi-Annual, Quarterly, Monthly and DAILY problems you must adjust both the Number of Periods and the Interest Rate!
All Bond problems (including Zero Coupon Bonds) are Semi-Annual based on $1,000 Par Value, unless told otherwise!
Remember to correctly use the +/- key

IRR is the average annual compound return. Some years could have earned more than 8.88% & some could have earned less.
IRR
Investments do not always have equal periodic payments. For example, an investor wants to know what average annual return can be expected for a real estate investment. The cash flows that are expected for each year that the property will be owned have been estimated. Negative cash flows, such as maintenance, insurance, & taxes, have been subtracted from positive cash flows, such as rent, for each of 5 years to get a net amount for each year. The purchase price of the property is $125,000 & the client expects that the property could be sold at the end of 5 years for $175,000. Net cash flows for each year are as follows:
End of Year 1 - 15,000
End of Year 2 - 7,000
End of Year 3 + 5,000
End of Year 4 + 12,000
End of Year 5 + 15,000
Note: The last cash flow occurs at the same time that the client predicts that the property could be sold for $175,000. Therefore, the total cash flow for the end of Year 5 is $175,000 + $15,000 = $190,000. If cash flows occur as expected, What would the IRR be for this investment?

Note 1: Anytime you calculate for N (term) using a HPI2C you may need to find the answer by trial and error. The HPI2C calculator rounds to the nearest integer when calculating N, and therefore, your answer is not always precise when calculating the term. You must then take what you have and find the exact answer by trial and error methods. The HP Will give you 5.533.
Note 2: It you are using an HPI2C and use correct N of 5.5468 the F’! will be $15,023.84, which, of course, looks incorrect. The error is in the way the HP works. )f you are using a HPIOB, HPI7BII, Sharp EL-733A, or TIBAII Plus you will get 5.5468 (the correct N). You can mathematically prove this answer by taking 1.12 raised to the 5.5468 power and then multiply by $8,000 to get $15,000.04.

b. $116,510
c. $113,040
d. $124,344
e. $39,229
The question specifies that the deposits are made at the beginning of each year; therefore, the student is required to calculate the future value of an annuity due. Answer A is the future value of deposits made at the end of the year. Answer C is incorrect because the calculation is based on the future value of the deposits made at the end of the year at 10% for 11.5 years, a reversal of the term and the interest rate. Answer D is similar to C except the calculation is based on an annuity due. Answer E is the present value of an annuity due instead of the future value of an annuity due. The keystrokes used with a financial calculator are:
PMTAD = ($6,100)
i = 11.5

Answer A calculates the future value of a $6,100 deposit made at the end of each quarter for 40 quarters using i = 2.875 (11.5 + 4).
This is incorrect because the question specifies an annual deposit and not a quarterly deposit.
Answer E calculates the future value of an annuity due of a $6,100 deposit made at the beginning of each quarter for 40 quarters using i = 2.875 (11.5 + 4).
Finally, answer B calculates the future value of an annuity due of a $6,100 deposit made annually for 10 years at i = 11.5.
A client is to receive $650 per month for 5 years beginning one year from today at the beginning of the month. What is the present value of all payments (rounded to the nearest dollar) assuming an annual discount rate of 9%?
a. $33,070
b. $28,943
c. $30,339
d. $31,548
e. $28,728
B, There are two steps in solving this question.
Step 1: calculate the present value of an annuity of $650 per month for 60 months at a discount rate of 9%.
Financial Calculations: Begin, PMT = $650, i = .75 (9 + 12), n = 60 (5*12) and solve for PV1 = $31,548
This provides the present value of an annuity one-year from now.
Step 2: This amount is further discounted to the present, one year.
Financial Calculation: Begin, FV = $31,548, i = 9, n =1 and solve for PV = $28,943
Answer A is the present value of an annuity due of $7,800 (650 * 12) received for five years at a discount rate of 9%. Answer C is the present value of answer A discounted for one year at 9%.
Answer D is the first part of the correct calculation.
Finally, answer E is the present value of an ordinary annuity instead of an annuity due.
The rate which produces a Net Present Value of a series of discounted cash flows equal to zero is called the:
a. Return on investment (ROI)
b. Internal rate of return (IRR)
c. Average rate of return
d. Cost of capital
e. Inflation rate
B
The question presented is the definition of Internal Rate of Return.
If the net present value of a series of discounted cash flows is greater than zero, one could interpret that:
1. The discounted cash flows exceed the investment outlay.
2. The rate of return is higher than the cost of capital.
3. The return on investment is lower than the internal rate of return.
4. The internal rate of return was the discount rate used.
a. 1 only
b. 1 and 4
C. 1, 2, 3, and 4
d. 2 and 3
e. 2 only
A
A positive net present value of a series of discounted cash flows means that the discounted cash flows exceed the investment outlay.
Statements 2 and 3 cannot be correct because the question does not provide appropriate information.
Statement 4 is not correct because if the internal rate of return were the rate used, the net present value amount would be equal to zero.
If the net present value of a series of discounted cash flows is equal to zero, one could interpret that
1. The discounted cash flows equal the investment outlay.
2. The rate of return is lower than the cost of capital.
3. The return on investment is lower than the internal rate of return.
4. The internal rate of return was the discount rate used.
a. 1 only
b. 1 and 4
c. 1, 2, 3,and 4
d. 2 and 3
e. 2 only
B
Statements 1 and 4 are correct
A net present value of a series of discounted cash flows equal to zero means the discounted cash flows are equal to the investment outlay.
If the net present value of a series of discounted cash flows is less than zero, one could interpret that:
1. The discounted cash flows are lower than the investment outlay.
2. The rate of return is lower than the cost of capital.
3. The return on investment is higher than the internal rate of return.
4. The internal rate of return was the discount rate used.
a. 1 only
b. 1 and 4
c. 1, 2, 3, and 4
d. 2 and 3
e. 2 only
A
A negative net present value of a series of discounted cash flows means the investment outlay exceeds the discounted cash flows.
What is the monthly payment made at the end of each month required to accumulate a balance of $150,000 in 10 years at an assumed interest rate of 11% compounded monthly and a beginning savings balance of $2,500?
a. $684.97
b. $691.25
c. $656.81
d. $650.85
e. $712.14
C
There are two steps to solving this question.
The first step is to compute the future value of the beginning savings balance.
PV = $2,500, i = .92 (11 / 12), N = 120 (10 * 12) and solve for PV = $7,472.87.
This amount is subtracted from the required balance of $150,000 to arrive at the amount that needs to be funded of $142,527.13.
Solving for this amount is as follows:
P4 = $142,527.13, i = .92 (11 + 12), N = 120 (10 * 12) and solve for PMTOA = $656.81.
Answer D has the correct inputs except the answer is the calculation of an annuity due.
Answer A calculates the annuity due assuming no beginning savings balance.
Answer B calculates the payment required assuming no beginning savings balance.
Answer E calculates the annual payment required assuming a beginning balance and divides that number by 12.
Joe wants to buy a business in 10 years. He estimates he will need $150,000 at that time. He currently has a zero-coupon bond with a market value of $1,157.98 that he will use as part of the required amount. The zero-coupon bond has a face value of $2,500 and will mature in 10 years. The bond has a semiannual effective interest rate of 3.923%. In addition to the bond, he wants to save a monthly amount to reach his goal. What is Joe's required monthly payment made at the beginning of each month in order to accumulate the $150,000, including the zero-coupon bond, at an assumed interest rate of 11%?
a. $676.10
b. $673.56
c. $669.96
d. $679.73
e. $800.91
B
The amount to be funded is $147,500, the required amount of $150,000 less the face amount of the bond of $2,500.
PV = $147,500, i =.92 (11 + 12), N = 120 (10 * 12) and solve for PMTAD = $673.56.
Answer A is incorrect because the payment is calculated as if the present value of the bond is projected at 11%, the assumed rate of return.
It is unnecessary to project the present amount since the face value at the end is known.
Answer C is the same as A except the payment is solved as an annuity due.
Answer D calculates the future value correctly ($147,500) except as a regular payment and not an annuity due.
Answer E calculates the annuity due of $147,500 except at an interest rate of 8%, which is the implicit rate of the bond.

Lifecycle Phases & Characteristics
The Financial Planning Process
Lifecycle Phases & Characteristics
As clients move through the various phases of life, their goals and objectives will change:
Asset Allocation Phase
Usually in the 25 to 50 age range
Young clients start out with more debt, less cash and net worth
Conservation/Protection Phase
Usually in the 35 to retirement age range
Clients have accumulated assets due to greater cash flow, now may become slightly more risk adverse.
Distribution/Gifting Phase
Begins when they realize they have the money to do what they want.
Clients have little or no debt, and relatively high net worth.
The Financial Planning Process
6 Steps of the Financial Planning Process (EG ADIM)

Gathering Data
Whatever the sequence of interviews might be, the financial planner collects Quantitative and Qualitative Data such as that outlined below, depending upon the client’s goals.
Quantitative Data (See Practice Standard 200-2 In Appendix B.)
General Family Profile including: names, addresses, and telephone numbers of financial advisors
Assets and Liabilities, as well as Cash Inflows and Outflows (Financial Statements)

Steps to the Budgeting Process
1. Gather the Previous Years Bank, Credit Card and Relevant Statements,
Prepare a spread sheet, or
Use a computer program such as Quicken or MS Money,
Create Categories of expenses (such as: dinning out, utilities, insurance)
2. Identify the Various Categories of Expenses, and The Totals As a Percentage of Gross (total) Income
3. Identify the Various Categories of Expenses As:
Fixed
Discretionary, and
Inflation Sensitive
4. Forecast Next Years Monthly Income
5. Determine Next Years Monthly Expenses
Remember to account for the non-monthly expenses
6. Project the Monthly Expenses (Budget) for the Next 12 Months
That is, reconcile steps 4 and 5
7. Compare Past Actual Monthly Expenses to the Projections
Adjust the following monthly expenses accordingly
8. Continue To Analyze the Budget Monthly, Examples of expenses which can be controlled:
Pick out the specific discretionary expenses you can control,
Utilities, Long Distance telephone calls and Dining Out
Other Budgeting Tips
Remember to include an expense item for:
The Emergency Fund should be between 3 to 6 months of expenses.
Scheduled Expenses
Investment Savings
Families with Highly Variable Incomes or Expenses should prepare 2 budgets:
1. A “Worst Case Budget” based on the lowest income and highest expenses
2. A “Average Case Budget” based on “reasonably expectations” of expenses
Liquidity vs. Marketability
Liquidity
The ability to sell an asset quickly at a competitive price, with no loss of principal and little price concession.
Marketability
The ability of an investor to find a ready market where the investor may sell their investment.
Emergency Fund (All Financial Plans Need A Base)
The Emergency Fund is that base:
Should be Liquid Savings and Money that can be accessed without delay, penalty, or incurring debt.
How Much
Individuals need to retain a sufficient amount of Liquid Assets at all times to handle emergencies so they will not have to borrow money or liquidate investments at a potentially inopportune time.
However, because investments with the greatest liquidity tend to have the lowest earnings, it is important that the amount that is held out for an Emergency Fund is not excessive.
A good rule of thumb is that the client should have the equivalent of 3 to 6 Months of Fixed and Variable Expenses in liquid accounts.
This would exclude the expense of Income-related Taxes and Contributions to savings and investments.
Appropriate Assets for an Emergency Fund are Cash and/or Cash Equivalents such as:
Checking Accounts (excluding funds to be utilized for normal expenses, which from a practical standpoint means that you should reserve an amount equal to one month's expenses, and can use any remaining checking amounts),
Savings Accounts
Money Market Accounts or Funds, which all can be converted to cash quickly.
A Certificate of Deposit may be appropriate if it matures in the near term (<90 Days)
CDs with maturity dates of more than 90 days are not appropriate for emergency use because of the typical Early Withdrawal Penalties
Emergency Fund (Flexability)
Rules of Thumb are not for everyone:
Clients with Extremely Stable Sources of Income may need less than 3 months of funds.
A client may have several sources of income (from rental real estate), both spouses may have extremely stable employers (government jobs)
For these clients smaller Emergency Funds may be required.
Clients with Very Unstable Sources of Income, may require more than 6 months of funds.
Some clients may have very unpredictable incomes (real estate sales people)
For these clients Larger Emergency Funds may be required.
Some financial planners also recommend that clients set up "Opportunity Funds," which are:
Liquid or Semi-liquid Accounts available for large purchases of a non-emergency nature that the client may wish to make, such as jewelry, furniture, or travel.
Such funds would prevent the client from having to borrow to attain these items.
Some planners use Opportunity Funds for investing purposes, ensuring that clients have liquid funds available to take advantage of investment opportunities that may arise.
Financial Statements
Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet)
See examples in your books
1. Assets and Liabilities should be presented at Fair Market Value (FMV)
2. Statement needs to be Appropriately Dated
3. Net Worth should be indicated
4. Footnotes should be utilized to describe details of both Assets and Liabilities
5. Property should be identified with owner (e.g., JTWROS, or H for husband, W for wife, etc.)
6. Categories of Assets - Depends on Type and Use of Asset
Cash and Cash Equivalents
INVESTED ASSETS (INVESTMENT portfolio)
Use Assets (Residence, Furniture, and Autos)
Assets should be Listed In Order of Liquidity (the ability to convert to cash quickly)
7. Liabilities should be categorized according to Maturity Date
Current Liabilities - due within 1 - year
Long-Term Liabilities - generally Mortgages and Notes (beyond a yaer)
8. Net Worth = Assets - Liabilities
Financial Statements
Statement of Recurring Cash Flows (For Past Year and Pro Forma For Next Year)
See examples in your books
1. Indicate period covered
2. INFLOWS:
Gross Salaries Dividend Income Refunds Due (Tax) Alimony Received
Interest Income Rental Income Other Incoming Cash Flows
3. OUTFLOWS:
Savings and Investment - by item
Fixed outflows – (Non-Discretionary)
House Payments
Auto Payments
Taxes
Fixed Outflows – (Discretionary)
Club Dues
Utilities (a portion may be a variable outflow)
Variable Outflows – (Non-Discretionary)
Food
Variable Outflows – (Discretionary)
Vacations
Entertainment
4. Net Discretionary Cash Flow = Inflows - Outflows
5. Footnotes should be used to explain details of Income and Expenses
Ratio Analysis
Ratio Analysis will give the planner a good idea or starting point in analyzing the client's financial situation.
Liquidity Ratio = Liquid Assets ÷ Monthly Expenses
Most planners suggest 3 to 6 months’ coverage of Fixed and Variable Outflows.
Housing Payment Ratio
All Monthly Non-Executory Housing Costs* + Monthly Gross Income < 28%
*Includes Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and any Condominium Fee
if a renter, then the ratio is: Rent + Insurance ÷ Monthly Gross Income < 28%
Total Payments Ratio
All Monthly Payments and Housing Costs (i.e. Housing Payment Ratio) ÷ Gross Monthly Income < 36%
The 28% and 36% are common mortgage lender standards and are healthy targets for most clients.
Solvency Ratio = Total Assets ÷ Total Debt > 1.1
Savings Ratio = Savings Per Year + Gross Income
The Savings Ratio should be 8% - 25% Depending on Age
For example, a savings ratio of 8% or more for a younger individual may be appropriate, while a person in their late 50’s 25% may be more appropriate.
Debt
