Answer:

<u>Option-(B): </u>

A designer handbag, is the example of commodity, as the value of hand bag does not reach to the level or standard of the natural resources that we have on this planet.

Just because there can be alternatives for availing a designer bad but the natural resources can not be replaced by any other thing in this universe. Which thus terms the strawberries, milk, and petroleum as a source that has no alternatives to be replaced with, while the designer hand bag is not something to be termed as irreplaceable by any person.

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
