Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Decreasing your stocks and increasing your bonds.
Explanation:
Target-date funds are pools of assets employees with a 401(k) retirement account can access. <em>Target-date funds consider stocks as riskier assets than bonds</em>, thus, more stocks than bonds are included in the fund of the employee at first. However, <em>as soon as the date when the employee is to retire approaches, the fund automatically lowers the number of stocks in the employee's account to include more bonds</em>, which are safer securities.
Answer:
The insurance expense on the annual income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 will be D. $337.50

The company paid the $1,350 premium on a three-year insurance policy.

From April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the company had bought the insurance for 9 months.
The insurance expense on the annual income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 = $450/12x9 = $337.5

Answer:
It appears on the surface that Simon must give the stock to Fred and let Fred sell it, because Fred is in the higher tax bracket (i.e., 22% compared to Simons 12%). But for gift property, the basis of loss to the donee is the lower of (1) the adjusted basis of the donor, or (2) the amount of fair market value (FMV) on the date of the gift. Thus as Fred cannot take benefit of the loss, Simon must sell the stock, deduct the realized loss, and sales proceeds should be given to Fred.
When Simon sells the stock and handover the sale proceeds to Fred, in that case the capital gain received from the stock's sale will be taxed on Simon as per his tax bracket. The transfer of sale proceeds to Fred will not have any impact on tax.
