An investor, age 36, has a net worth of $650,000, with an annual income of $65,000. Wanting to add to an existing portfolio, the investor is not concerned about generating more income, as that seems to be adequate already. However, the investor does note that keeping taxes to a minimum is an objective. Which of the following funds would be the most suitable, given the investor's objectives? A) Fund W: invests in utility companies; turnover ratio of 25% B) Fund Y: invests in companies that have capital appreciation potential; turnover ratio of 100% C) Fund X: invests in companies with long-term growth potential; turnover ratio of 25% D) Fund Z: invests in preferred shares; turnover ratio of 50%

C *This investor is not concerned about income. This would eliminate both the utility fund and the preferred share fund, which are associated with income due to the dividends one would expect. Of the remaining 2 funds, growth and appreciation oriented, the one with the lower turnover ratio would generate less tax liability. The portfolio turnover ratio reflects a funds holding period of securities being bought and sold by the fund manager. If a fund has a turnover ratio of 100%, the entire portfolio is likely to turnover in a year and capital gains distributions are likely to be short term and subject to the maximum tax rate, increasing the tax liability and therefore, not the best option. By contrast a 25% turnover ratio means the average holding period of the securities in the portfolio is 4 years. This would mean that any capital gains distributions are more likely to be long term and subject to a lower tax rate.

All of the following are risks of investing in publicly traded mortgage-backed securities except A) borrowers might default on their mortgage payments. B) rising interest rates might extend the date of repayment of principal. C) falling interest rates might accelerate early repayment of principal. D) the market for mortgage-backed securities is illiquid.

D *As publicly traded securities, liquidity risk is not a major concern to investors in mortgage-backed securities. When interest rates decline, there is generally an increase in mortgage refinancing and that results in investors receiving repayment of principal ahead of schedule. That is prepayment risk. Although it is nice to get the money back, there is reinvestment risk because these lower interest rates mean that reinvesting the principal into new securities will now be at a lower return than previously earned. The opposite happens when interest rates increase. Homeowners are unlikely to refinance, causing principal repayments to slow. Without the repayment, investors holding these securities are receiving below market returns. This is an example of extension risk. As is the case with any loan, there is always default risk. Recent history has shown that it is possible for a large number of foreclosures where the lender does not recoup the full principal.

D- The municipal bond's yield is higher than the corporate bond's yield. *The municipal bond's yield is higher than the corporate bond's yield.To compare the two bonds, use the tax-free equivalent yield formula: (taxable yield) × (100% − tax bracket) = (tax-free equivalent yield). In this case, 5% × (100% − 28%) = 5% × .72 = 3.6%. Because the municipal bond yields 4% tax free, the investor should buy it; after taxes have been paid, the corporate bond yields only 3.6%.

A market order is executed at once, and selling the stock is not appropriate when the investor has already sold it.

An investor purchases $1,000 of the XYZ Growth Fund on a Tuesday. The order is time-stamped at 2:45 pm ET. When will the investor's price per share be determined? A) The next business day based on the market close B) The market close on the second business day after the order is entered C) That day based on the market close D) The previous business day's market close

C *Mutual funds use forward pricing when investors buy or sell. That means the investor will buy or sell at the price based on the next computed net asset value (NAV). The NAV must be calculated at least once each business day at market close (4:00 pm ET). This order was entered before the close. Therefore, the next time the price is calculated is that day's market close.

A married couple with a two-year-old child wants a suitable investment to help meet the financial obligations for the child's college education. Which of the following choices are the most suitable alternatives? 1. A collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) tranche scheduled to mature in five years 2. A STRIP scheduled to mature in 15 years 3. Treasury receipts 4. A money market fund

2 & 3 *STRIPs and treasury receipts are forms of zero-coupon bonds. STRIPs are backed in full by the US government and treasury receipts by the financial institutions that issue them. Purchased at a discount and maturing at face value in the future, they are suitable investments for those wishing to save for anticipated expenses such as college tuition sometime in the future. A CMO maturing in five years doesn't align with the time horizon for this child's college education and carry other unsuitable risks. A money market fund would hardly meet the growth requirement needed to meet college tuition needs.

A 45-year-old investor takes a lump-sum distribution from a nonqualified variable annuity. How is the distribution taxed? 1. The entire amount is taxed as ordinary income. 2. The growth portion is taxed as ordinary income. 3. The growth portion is taxed as a capital gain. 4. The growth portion is subject to a 10% penalty.

2 & 4 *On withdrawals from a nonqualified annuity, taxes are paid only on the amount that exceeds cost basis (the amount paid into the annuity). In this case, the investor is taking a lump-sum distribution before reaching age 59-½ and must pay an additional 10% penalty on the taxable amount.

An investor and his father own 8% and 5%, respectively, of a corporation's outstanding shares, and the father wants to sell his holding. According to Rule 144, which of the following statements are true? 1. He must file Form 144 to sell the shares. 2. He does not have to file Form 144 to sell the shares. 3. He is considered an affiliated person. 4. He is not considered an affiliated person.

2 & 4 *Under Rule 144, an affiliate is a person in a control relationship with an issuer. Because neither of the investors own at least 10% of the stock, they are not control persons under Rule 144 and do not have to comply with the rule. There is a requirement to combine holdings by certain family members, such as a spouse or other immediate family residing in the same home. If the question indicated that the father and son share the same residence, then the filing requirements of the rule would apply because the 13% total would make them control persons.

An investor has researched XYZ Corporation and is convinced the company's stock will soon decline in value. If the investor wishes to act on that conviction, which investment strategy will allow the investor to take advantage of the anticipated decline in share value with the smallest cash investment? A) Purchase a put option B) Sell the company's stock short C) Purchase a call spread D) Purchase a call option

A *Buying a put is a basic option strategy utilized when one is bearish on a stock. If the stock declines as anticipated, the investor could exercise the put which allows the stock to be sold at the strike price and then repurchase it at its lower current market price for a profit. The premium paid to buy the put costs less than the margin required if one were to sell the stock short. Purchasing a call or a call spread are bullish options strategies

D) the investor would be liable for ordinary income taxes plus the 10% penalty on $350,000.

A *Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code permits the exchange of an annuity to another annuity, whether issued by the same or a competing company, with the tax-deferral on earnings continuing. These exchanges can also be made from an insurance policy to an annuity, but not from an annuity to an insurance policy.

One of your customers has $135,000 in her cash account. She also has a long margin account with a market value of $17,000, a debit balance of $10,800 and no SMA.

A) $6,200 B) $135,000 C) $15,000 D) $141,200

B *Custodial accounts for minors can only be opened as cash accounts. Clearly, the $135,000 in the cash account is no problem. Do not be concerned about the $15,000 annual gift limit because the question is not dealing with gift taxes. If the margin account had SMA, it could be withdrawn and the cash put into the child's account. Without SMA and with the account being restricted (below the 50% Regulation T requirement), it is only the money in the cash account that can be transferred.

An investor is long 10 XYZ calls with a strike price of 40 in his general account. XYZ stock is currently selling at 48.

B *It must be assumed from the information given that the account has only fully paid for call options plus an additional $3,000 cash (credit balance). The investor can withdraw the cash because the options are fully paid for. The question here is whether or not he can withdraw additional cash to borrow against the value of the options contracts. The answer is no; he cannot borrow against long option positions. Or in other words, options have no loan value.

A schoolteacher has a 403(b) tax-qualified deferred retirement plan into which she has deposited $100,000 over a 12-year period.

A) $0 B) $220,000 C) $100,000 D) $120,000

B *The retirement plan is qualified, which means that contributions were made with pretax dollars. The teacher must pay taxes on the total value of the account when withdrawn.

Your firm has just assigned you a new client. Wanting to do the best job you can, you review the current investment holdings of the client. Included are the following mutual fund accounts: $50,000 in Class B shares of the STU Growth Fund $25,000 in Class A shares of the STU International fund $15,000 in Class A shares of the TUV Utility Fund STU and TUV offer rights of accumulation and breakpoints at $25,000, $50,000, and $100,000. If the client wishes to invest $20,000 into the Class A shares of the TUV Technology Fund, the sales charge would be based on A) the $100,000 breakpoint. B) the $25,000 breakpoint. C) the $50,000 breakpoint. D) the next computed net asset value.

B *There are several important points in this question. Rights of accumulation provide that a new purchase is added to the value of existing accounts to determine the breakpoint reached. However, only Class A shares count because the Class B shares never paid a front-end load. Of course, only shares in the same fund family are used - we cannot combine STU shares with TUV shares. As far as the math, we have $25,000 in one STU fund and are adding another $20,000. That brings the investor's account in STU funds to $45,000, which is enough to meet the $25,000 breakpoint, but not the breakpoint at $50,000. Finally, the sales charge is computed as a percentage of the public offering price (POP), not the NAV.SO UNDER 50,000 WHICH MEANS IT QUALIFIES FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE BREAKPOINT 25000`

Which of the following accounts are billed a single fee annually for a group of services? A) Cash account B) Wrap account C) Option account D) Margin account

Such individual or individuals are associated persons of the firm with respect to functions undertaken on behalf of the firm.

A customer is choosing a payout option for a variable annuity. Maximizing monthly income for the rest of his life is the customer's key objective. This annuitant has no living relatives, so beneficiaries are not a concern. Which of the following options available would best meet the needs of this annuitant? A) A life with a 5-year period certain payout option B) Take random withdrawals from the contract C) A straight life payout option D) A life with a 20-year period certain payout option

C *The largest monthly check an annuitant can receive for the rest of his life is generated by a straight life (life income or life only) payout option. Though there is no beneficiary designation during the annuitization, this is not an issue for this annuitant. Life with period certain will produce a smaller check for life because the insurance company will guarantee payments to a beneficiary for a certain period of time designated in the contract should the annuitant die within that period. But again, the need to designate beneficiaries is not an issue for this annuitant. Random withdrawals do not guarantee how long the money will last because large withdrawals can deplete the funds before the annuitant dies.

A customer sells 100 shares of ABC at $15 and uses the proceeds to purchase 200 shares of MNO for $7.50. In order to avoid a violation of FINRA's 5% markup policy, the member firm should not charge a commission of more than A) $150. B) $15. C) $75. D) $125.

C *This is an example of a proceeds transaction. In order to stay within compliance of FINRA's 5% markup policy, the member firm should treat this as a single transaction. The most the member firm should charge would be 5% of $1,500 (the principal value of one side of the trade), or $75.

Which of the following mutual funds should an investment adviser representative recommend to a corporate client whose objective is current income with moderate risk? A) High-yield bond fund B) Money market fund C) Aggressive growth fund D) Preferred stock fund

D *Preferred stock generates current income in the form of dividends. Aggressive growth funds strive for capital appreciation rather than current income. Money market funds have low yields, not the high yields that an income investor wants. While high-yield bonds provide current income, they entail a high, rather than a moderate, degree of risk.

An investor purchases 100 shares of a bond ETF at a price of $50 per share on September 5, 2019. On November 1, 2019, and February 1, 2020, the fund distributes a $0.50 per share dividend. On May 11, 2020, the investor sells all the shares at $57 per share. What are the 2020 tax consequences of the sale? A) Short-term capital gain of $700, interest income of $50 B) Short-term capital gain of $700, dividend income of $50 C) Short-term capital gain of $600 D) Short-term capital gain of $700

D *Taxation of an ETF is similar to that of a mutual fund. The question asks about the tax consequences of the sale, so we ignore the dividend distributions. Buying at $50 per share in September and selling at $57 per share the next May is a $700 capital gain over a period of less than one year. It is not part of the question, but the dividends would be taxed as interest because they are coming from bonds.

B) Calls are purchased by those who believe prices of debt securities are rising. C) Their strike prices reflect dollar amounts. D) They are European-style exercise.
