Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, firms can have positive economic profits only in the short run. In the long run, though, the firms can enter and exit the market, so if some firms among the 1,000 are having profits, it will attract potential firms to join the market.  

This causes the market supply to increase. This increase in supply reduces prices and profits.  

Similarly, if some of the firms among 1,000 are having losses in the short run, then in the long run, the firms incurring losses exit the market. This reduces market supply and thus increases price and profits.  

This process continues until all the firms are having zero economic profits.

Jack's 529 Plan for Grandchild: $20,000 in growth mutual fund

To meet the customer's investment objective of tax advantaged income, the BEST recommendation is for the customer to:

A. immediately liquidate the entire Dyno-Mite position and invest the proceeds in high yield bonds

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

C. liquidate the IRA without penalty since Jack is past age 59 1/2, and use the proceeds to buy corporate income bonds

D. consider early retirement, since Jack is old enough to receive Social Security as a means of supplementing income

Answer:

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Explanation:

Given that, the customer has a "moderate" risk tolerance level and dividend income is at the moment taxed at the preferential rate of 15%, therefore, it is expected that investments in high yielding common and preferred stocks will meet the customer's objective of tax-advantaged income.

Hence, the right answer is Option B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks
