Answer:
D) is not acceptable because such a guarantee would cause a conflict of interest pertaining to the IA's fiduciary duty to each client
Explanation:
The members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) must follow their Model Rule which prohibits investment adviser firms from guaranteeing investment results, in other words they cannot guarantee a minimum profit. 
In this case the employee suggested that if their clients didn't earn a minimum 12% profit, then they would refund any fees collected. But the IA firm is not allowed to guarantee the 12% value increase or profit.

Answer:
c. 2.30 years
Explanation:
In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:
In year 0 = $1,150 (Initial investment)
In year 1 = $500
In year 2 = $500
In year 3 = $500
If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $1,000
Now we deduct the $1,000 from the $1,150 , so the amount would be $150 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it
And, the next year cash inflow is $500
So, the payback period equal to
= 2 years + ($150 ÷ $500)
= 2.30 years
In 2.30 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "E": Perceptual defense.
Explanation:
In psychology, perceptual defense refers to the suppression of a stimulus that represents a threat or an uncomfortable situation for an individual. Those inputs are distorted somehow by the individual to reject the unpleasant feeling so that the person does not feel that bad because of it. In such a way, the brain works as a defense mechanism able to distort information to mitigate the effects in the behavior produced by the stimulus.
