Investors in small firms need to expect volatility and have a long-term time

horizon. Gerald Perritt recommends investing in between 20 and 30 different

issues, and turnover should be limited to no more than 30% annually in order

to control transaction costs.




Special arrangements need to be made concerning the residence and

contents of the high net worth individual's primary residence for which

situation?

A)When the owner is planning to live overseas for a year

B)When the owner is taking a month to travel through Europe

C)When the owner is on vacation for a week

D)When the owner is at their vacation home for two weeks

✓ ~~> A




When the primary residence will be vacant for a short time, homeowners

policies will continue to provide coverage. However, when the owner will be

out of the country for a year, the property may be considered vacant and

coverage may not apply. Specialty insurance carriers who commonly deal

with situations such as clients who live internationally for periods of time can

reduce the likelihood that a significant risk is overlooked. These companies

often provide risk managers who can properly advise clients concerning their

choices.

Your client is currently subject to the Medicare contribution tax. Which

method may help reduce the impact of the Medicare contribution tax?

A)Receiving passive business income

B)Receiving municipal bond interest

C)Capturing capital gain income

D)Maximizing the use of charitable contribution deductions.

✓ ~~> B




Municipal bond interest is not subject to the Medicare contribution tax, nor

does it increase the AGI.




Charitable contributions increase itemized deductions, thereby reducing

taxable income. However, the threshold for the Medicare contribution tax is

based on AGI, not taxable income.




Passive business income is specifically subject to the Medicare contribution

tax, as is capital gain income.

B)The plan must comply with both the disclosure and reporting requirements

under ERISA.

C)The plan generally need not comply with either the disclosure or reporting

requirements of ERISA.

D)The plan must comply with the disclosure requirements, but not the

reporting requirements under ERISA.

✓ ~~> C

Unfunded excess benefit plans need not comply with ERISA disclosure or filing

requirements; however, excess benefit plans that are funded do need to

comply.

Top-hat plans and SERPs also are subject to some reporting and disclosure

requirements under ERISA.




Which statement is correct regarding federal transfer taxation?

A)Use of the estate tax marital deduction exempts the subject property from

further transfer taxation.

B)Direct payment of tuition expenses to an educational institution by a

decedent's estate for the benefit of a surviving child is exempt from transfer

taxation.
