An associative ring R with identity is called a left (right) FPF ring if given any finitely generated faithful left (right) R-module A and any left (right) R-module M then M is the epimorphic image of a direct sum of copies of A. Faith and Page have asked if the subring of elements fixed by a finite group of automorphisms of an FPF ring need also be FPF. Here we present examples showing the answer to be negative in general.
