A J & J Treasury bond with a 5% coupon due July 1, 2019, is purchased in a cash transaction on February 24. What is the number of days of accrued interest? A) 54 B) 63 C) 55 D) 53

A bond begins accruing interest on the prior interest payment date (January 1) and accrues up to, but not including, the settlement date (February 24). Did you notice that this was a cash transaction? That means the settlement date is the same day as the trade (February 24). Normally, Treasury securities settle T+1. If this was a regular-way trade, the accrued interest would be 55 days because settlement would have been February 25. Be careful reading the question; it is easy to skip over critical information. Because accrued interest on government bonds is computed actual days, actual year, 31 days for January plus 23 days for February, it equals 54 days.

D. If more than 10% of a bond's proceeds go to private entities, the interest on the bond is a tax preference item for AMT purposes. Also, Industrial revenue bonds, sometimes called industrial development bonds, may be nonpublic (private lol) purpose bonds, and the proceeds are used to benefit private corporations. As such, the interest income from these bonds is a tax preference item in the alternative minimum tax calculation.

According to the Investment Company Act of 1940, a diversified mutual fund may hold, at most, what percentage of a corporation's voting securities? A) 5% B) 75% C) 50% D) 100%

To be considered a diversified investment company, 75% of the fund's assets must be diversified, such that the mutual fund owns no more than 10% of a target company's voting securities. Additionally, within that 75% of assets, no diversified investment company may invest more than 5% of its portfolio in a single company's securities. However, there are no restrictions on the other 25%. That can all be in one stock, making 30% of the fund's assets in one company. Those assets can theoretically buy all of the outstanding voting shares of a company and control 100%.

This is no different from anyone else purchasing before the ex-date. At exercise, the writer is obligated to purchase (hold).
