Which of the following people would not qualify for a 403(b) retirement plan?

  1. A volunteer for a non-profit organization
  2. A school teacher
  3. St. Anthony''s Church
  4. A school janitor

Mr and Mrs Rodriguez have amassed a very comfortable income from their import business, which has been formed as a limited liability company (LLC). They seek advice from their financial advisor regarding a new investment that would simultaneously act as a tax shelter, which they hope will allow them to have more money to leave to their heirs.
Which two of the following should their advisor consider when making a suitable recommendation to the Rodriguez couple?

  1. Tax Situation
    II. Heirs
    III. Cash Flow
    IV. Executor of Estate
  2. General Partnership
  3. III and IV
  4. I and V
  5. II and IV
  6. I and III

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When determining a suitable investment, it is important to understand the client's current financial situation. A profile should be taken of the current income, cash flow, company balance sheet, current tax situation, net worth, amount of liquidity and the investment strategy currently in place. The Rodriguez couple has a specific goal in mind: to shelter their income from income tax. Of the choices listed, cash flow and current tax situation are the only possible correct answers. For this particular goal, the heirs or the executor of the estate are not relevant factors. The Rodriguez's business is a limited liability company (LLC) and not a general partnership, which is structured differently than an LLC



Mrs Struthers consults Felix, her financial advisor, about his best recommendation for preserving the money she has saved for retirement.
Which of the following represent suitable investments?

  1. T-Bills and Corporate Bonds
  2. Hedge Funds and Common Stock
  3. Zero Coupon Bonds and Common Stock
  4. Hedge Funds and T-Bills

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Treasury securities are guaranteed by the federal government and corporate bond holders receive priority over common stockholders in the event of a bankruptcy. These would be the two safest choices for preservation of capital. Hedge funds are high-risk, potentially high- yield investments that aim for growth

Randy McMahon, agent for Jansen Securities, calls his prospective client, Celia, and suggests she open an account so she can purchase a hot stock they''ve been discussing. Two days later, Celia calls Randy and agrees to open the account. This transaction is an example of:

  1. A sale
  2. Private placement
  3. An offer
  4. Cross-agency transaction

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

One of the factors that determines whether a state administrator has jurisdiction over a particular situation may depend on whether an offer or sale has been made. In this case, when Randy called Celia, he made an offer to sell her securities, which brought the activity under the administrator's jurisdiction.
