●There will be two (three) in-class exams and one cumulative final exam. Each test will count for 30% (20%)
of your final grade, and the cumulative final will count for 30% of your final grade. In addition, each student is
required to work on the assignment if necessary. It will count for the remaining 10% of your final grade.
Grades will be curved if necessary.

●Exam Format: The exams will be a mixture of short answer, quantitative and essay questions.

● You will need some kind of calculator for this class. You will not be allowed to use present value tables in
this class. Although not mandatory, I recommend using a financial calculator such as the HP 10-B, HP 12-C,
or HP-19B II (Texas Instruments, Sharp and Casio-FC 200 also make inexpensive calculators which are
equivalent.) You will be required to solve for yields and internal rates of return, and financial calculators
greatly simplify this task. Note that it is your responsibility to pay attention any change made during the class.
