Answer: b. selling VIX calls
Explanation:
The client could make some money selling VIX calls. Call options give the holder the right to buy an underlying asset at a set price in future and they will do so if the market price of the underlying asset increases past the call price of the asset (exercise price).
If the client expects that market conditions will be stable then an increase in stock price is not expected. They can sell calls and make money from the premium they will charge for the calls knowing that they would not have to sell any stock to the holder as the value will not appreciate.

1 and a half months worth of depreciation
Explanation:
The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS. Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.
