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

Ira orally agrees to buy a unique collection of sports memorabilia for $1,000 from Jane and sends her $250 as a down payment. Wh

OLEGan [10]

Ira should seek specific performance.

A particular remedy called specific performance is utilized by courts when no other option, such monetary compensation, will fully satisfy the other party. The court will choose that option instead if it will put the injured party in the same situation as if the contract had been fully completed.
A court may order a party to carry out a specific conduct, such as completing the contract's performance, as a form of equitable relief under the law of contracts.
If damages are a suitable alternative, it is normally not accessible but is typically available in the sale of land law. Contracts for personal services nearly seldom allow for specific performance.

Thus this is the answer.
