Answer: C
Explanation:
This is because although the coupon rate is devoid of federal income tax any market discount is taxed as interest income earned.

B, Indirect incentive
Explanation:
An incentive is anything that motivates an individual to behave in a certain way. An incentive could range from money to many other things and it is the reason why an individual acts in a certain way.
For example, salary and bonuses are incentives for workers. This makes the worker work better and harder and more efficiently because he/she knows that there is something to encourage him for doing his/her work diligently.
Incentive can be direct or indirect as in the case of the above question.
In the case of the above question, a generous disability insurance can motivate workers to falsely claim to be disabled. This means that the financial implication of the insurance package for disability is most likely the only reason for workers to claim false disability.
Cheers.
Answer:
How much must Icon allow Emily to diversify this year?
The answer is $250,000
Explanation:
- After attaining the age of 55 years and participating already for ten years in the ESOP.
- Emily will be allowed to diversify the value equal to 25% of investments.
- 50% of the investment is allowed to be diversified if it is final year of participation but in the present case it is not the final year before the retirement of the Emily so she will not be allowed 50% diversification and only up to 25% is allowed on which the percentage of investment already diversified in previous years will also be reduced.
- Since here in the past no amount has been diversified by Emily so she will be allowed 25 % of investment to diversify in the current year which comes to $250,000 ($1,000,000* 25%). Thus the answer is $250,000.
