Answer:

The answer is option "D"

Explanation:

The suitability condition that broker-dealer firms have to adopt includes making investment recommendations on the basis of their applicability in terms of what the customer's profile is. To do this, the firm needs to have adequate and reasonable understanding of the customer, their needs, their risk profile, details of their other investments and their age among several other factors. Firms use these details and then perform their own research, or 'due diligence' to ensure that the recommendations made are appropriate in the customer's context. Options A and B pertain to this criteria and are therefore correct. Option C is also correct since, even if the investment recommendation is in line with the customer's profile, firms must still refrain from making trade recommendations that are excessive in size because they can, among other issues, raise the risk profile of the trade.

Now lets look at option D. Broker-dealers do rely on the customers providing customer specific information so that they can plan investment recommendations accordingly, however, this is not the only practice that is required. Firms need to conduct their own research and due diligence as well. Furthermore, customers may be unwilling to disclose certain information, for example, details of their other investments. In this case, firms need to be cautious and carefully analyse whether they have 'enough' customer specific information to be reasonably certain that the investment recommendation is appropriate. As long as enough information exists to form the reasonable basis, firms do not need to refrain from making recommendations.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

When a market experiences a positive externality,
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

b. The demand curve does not reflect the value to society of the good.

Explanation:

An externality is a financial term alluding to an expense or advantage caused or got by an outsider. Nonetheless, the outsider has no power over the making of that cost or advantage.

An externality can either be positive or negative which can be caused by either production or consumption of a good or service. The cost or the benefit  can affect an individual or a society as a whole. A typical example of a negative externality is pollution which can cause negative cost to a third party in terms of health expenses. An example of a positive externality on the other hand is when a well educated labor force increase their productivity.

The government and local authorities can control negative externality by imposing taxes and regulation of these products. The government can also overcome negative externality by imposing subsidies on the goods that improve positive externality.

The demand curve however does not reflect the value to society of the good. It only reflects the relationship between the price and the quantity of goods consumed.

When a decrease in credit card availability increases the cash people hold, the money-demand curve shifts to the right. As a res
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The FED must decrease the price of money (or interest rates), and to do that it will buy US securities. By purchasing securities, the FED will decrease the money supply, lower the interest rates and halt inflation. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.

It can also increase the banking system's required reserve ratio, but besides lowering the interest rates, it will also decrease the supply of credit cards even further, so one action could offset the other. That is why this policy might be inefficient in this specific case.
