Answer 1

Answer:

Which of the following issues can be offered to the public under the 1933 Act?

1. An exempt security.

2. A security registered under the Act.

Explanation:

The security's act of 1933 was formulated and passed into law in 1933 to protect investors after the stock market crash of 1929. The law had two major objectives; to enable transparency especially in the financial statements so that investors can make decisions after considering all aspects and also to provide regulations against misrepresentation to discourage cases of fraud in the securities markets.

The security's act of 1933 provided legislation on the sale of securities which was initially governed by the state laws. The law required the companies to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for full disclosure to potential investors. The information is provided to SEC and the potential investors in the form of a prospectus and a statement of registration.

The following issues are including in what can be offered to the public under this act, namely;

1. An exempt security.

2. A security registered under the Act.

However, the SEC does not approve a prospectus therefor issue number three is not true.
