Keir's Financial Planning 2010

The need for this book has been long apparent from the face of anxiety that accompanies a financial calculator. Students who wear this face are typically learning to use the many functions of a financial calculator for the first time to prepare for professional exams. Unfortunately, students can display a surprising lack of proficiency just weeks before an exam. Perhaps they have procrastinated or maybe they took a calculator class at the beginning of their studies and have forgotten the basics by the time the exam rolled around. In either case, it has become a crippling defect in their exam preparation. Their focus is on the calculator, diverting attention from study, wasting precious time, and preventing them from connecting their knowledge with the techniques of the calculator. In the construction of this book, the aim has been to strike a balance between the academic concepts of time value of money and the technical aspects of a calculator manual, to produce a book and course that is user-friendly and relevant to students needs. We sought to use language students can understand so the lessons lead to practical applications students will face on exams and in their professional lives. In other words, we wanted to create the book we wish we had been handed when we purchased a calculator. The book can be used as a stand-alone calculator study guide or in conjunction with the curriculum of a Certificate Program or University Degree. It follows the same format as the two online calculator classes that Keir Educational Resources offers: The Basic Financial Calculator Class and the Formulas Class. Each of the four calculators that the book covers HP 10bII, HP 12c; TI BAII Plus, and HP 17bII+ has its own section, so there is no need for the student to flip back and forth to find the pertinent information. The keystrokes are typed in bold key fonts so there is no need to squint to see if there was a comma separator or not. The language is straight forward. When technical terms need to be explained, they are done simply and translated into words that the instructor or other students are likely to use. Each individual calculator section is broken into 4 chapters: 1 Intro: The Basics; 2 Time Value of Money; 3 CFP® Formulas and CH. 4 Investment Calculations. The introductory chapter covers the basics of the calculator. Some items are very elementary, such as turning the calculator on and off or changing the batteries. Others are simple but invaluable, for example, introducing the student to the most important keys and their functions or clearing the calculator. We also explain some of those seemingly inexplicable things that happen to your calculator (Where did that comma come from?) and how to correct it, and in the worst case scenario, how to reset the calculator. Chapter 2 teaches the basics of Time Value of Money and how to use the calculator to solve for each of the variables. We work straight across the keyboard. And the sections are marked very simply (Solving for N; Solving for PV). There is no question as to where the student has to go for the information. We work through each variable with problems that are based upon annualized returns and then more frequent compounding. We apply those lessons to some of the more complex TVM problems the student will encounter. Chapter 3 covers all of the formulas that are currently found on the CFP® Certification Examination. We explain not only what the symbols mean, but their use and the investment concepts they are used for. We demystify the formula sheet and make it accessible. Chapter 4 then uses the formulas and shows the necessary keystrokes associated with them in the context of investment planning. We also cover formulas commonly found on exams but not included on the formula sheet.

Practical Applications for Your Financial Calculator

Keir s Introduction to Financial Planning textbook is designed to introduce students to personal financial planning and to develop the concept of comprehensive financial planning where all of the elements of life that are impacted by financial choices come together. Each chapter provides an overview of an area of personal financial planning such as insurance planning, investments planning, or retirement planning. The end of each chapter includes multiple-choice questions to help students test their knowledge and comprehension of the information found in that chapter. If a student does not score a 75 percent or higher for a particular Chapter, the student probably has not mastered the material in accordance with examination standards. A grade of less than 75 percent would suggest the student should, as a minimum, review the detailed answers for every question missed and the related paragraphs in the Chapter. In the preparation of these multiple choice questions, Keir made no attempt to anticipate specific cases or questions that are likely to appear on the final examination for a college course. No one can outguess the class professor. What we have attempted to do is select questions that test a student s understanding of important concepts presented in the study materials.

Introduction to Financial Planning 2016

Keir designed this textbook using our well proven methodology of structuring each book to follow the 78 topic list provided by the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM Board of Standards. We have used this methodology for over 10 years to help thousands of students pass the CFP® Certification Examination. The 78 topic list is the current basis for the CFP® Certification Examination. This textbook covers Estate Planning (Topics 53 73). Since we designed this textbook to follow the CFP Board s topic list, a Certificate program s students and instructors will find this unique format to be the most effective and concise way to learn just the topics specifically tested on the CFP® Certification Examination. This textbook includes over 700 multiple choice questions and case questions to help reinforce each topic. The multiple choice questions included in this textbook cover the four cognitive levels of questions used on the CFP® Certification Examination which are: (1) Knowledge/Comprehension, (2) Application, (3) Analysis/Synthesis, and (4) Evaluation. Although there is more emphasis in the CFP® Certification Examination on higher level cognitive questions, a student needs to master lower level knowledge and comprehensive questions in order to master the application, analysis, and evaluation questions. The CFP® Certification Examination includes comprehensive cases and mini-cases. To provide the experience of working on cases, we have included case fact patterns with multiple choice questions in the Appendix at the end of this textbook. Each of the topics contains a table identifying cases and questions covering material in that particular topic. Students should read the case in the Appendix and attempt to answer the case questions identified for that topic. The cases range from short fact patterns to full blown 5 to 10 page fact patterns. The short fact patterns are similar to mini-cases and allow students to start to build on their ability to answer case questions. The full blown case fact patterns provide the student with the same level of difficulty as the comprehensive cases on the CFP® Certification Examination. Although most of the multiple choice questions in this textbook were written by Keir Educational Resources, some of the questions have appeared on past CFP® Certification Examinations and are reprinted here with permission.

Estate Planning Textbook 2013

We designed this book as a reference guide for professionals serving clients on a wide variety of individual financial issues. Although we elected to follow the comprehensive 78 topics tested on the CFP® Certification Examination, insurance and securities professionals have also found this reference guide to be extremely helpful in serving their clients. 
 This book will help you stay up-to-date because it includes the 2014 key facts and figures you need to serve your clients. The topics covered in this guide include the following areas: 
 Financial Planning Insurance Planning Investment Planning Income Tax Planning Retirement Planning Estate Planning Interpersonal Communication Professional Conduct and Fiduciary Responsibility 
 While there is some overlap and repetition of material among the topics, this repetition is a result of the interrelated issues of comprehensive financial planning. We hope the concise but complete treatment of each topic will help save you valuable time in serving your clients. 
 We did not design this book to help individuals study for the CFP® Certification Examination. If you are studying for the exam, you should purchase the Keir Comprehensive Review Package for the CFP® Certification Examination. Those comprehensive books cover the topics with more emphasis on issues commonly tested and also provide students with exam study tips, examples, practice questions, and prior exam questions. 
 Keir Educational Resources wishes to express our appreciation to the many people who helped to write, research, update, enhance, and produce this book. We also want to thank all of the individuals, universities, and companies who have offered suggestions over the years for improvements.

Keir is pleased to offer textbooks designed specifically for each of the courses included in CFP Board Registered Programs.

 Keir designed this textbook using our well proven methodology of structuring each book to follow the 78 topic list provided by the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM Board of Standards. We have used this methodology for over 10 years to help thousands of students pass the CFP® Certification Examination. The 78 topic list is the current basis for the CFP® Certification Examination and, along with the Student-Centered Learning Objectives released by CFP Board in 2012, is the basis for student learning in Registered Programs. This textbook covers Financial Planning (Topics 1 12), Interpersonal Communication (Topics 74 75), and Professional Conduct and Fiduciary Responsibility (Topics 76 78). Since we designed this textbook to follow the CFP Board s topic list and Learning Objectives, we are confident that students and instructors will find this unique format to be the most effective way to learn the skills required of a successful financial planner. While written with CFP Board Registered Programs in mind, this General Principles textbook is comprehensive and flexible enough to be used in non-CFP Board programs as well. 
 This textbook includes over 500 multiple choice questions and case questions to help reinforce each topic and to introduce students to the types of questions they may experience when taking the CFP® Certification Examination.
