Answer:
The correct answer is:
I trust you to be able to accomplish this task (C)
Explanation:
First of all, you have to know the meaning of the word competence, and competence is a collection of related relevant abilities, know-how and skills required to act effectively on a job or situation. Which is a clear message passed by the speaker in the statement "I trust you to be able to accomplish this task", because the speaker knows that his team member possesses the right skills to carry out a task successfully.
The statement in option D ( "I trust you to do the right thing." ) also tells a little about competence because one of the definitions of competence highlights being sane, and one needs to be sane to do the right thing, but it is only second choice when compared to the statement in option "C".
Next time when you are faced with this kind of question, identify the keyword ( which in this case is competence), and use that to answer the question.
Answer:
D) is not acceptable because such a guarantee would cause a conflict of interest pertaining to the IA's fiduciary duty to each client
Explanation:
The members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) must follow their Model Rule which prohibits investment adviser firms from guaranteeing investment results, in other words they cannot guarantee a minimum profit.
In this case the employee suggested that if their clients didn't earn a minimum 12% profit, then they would refund any fees collected. But the IA firm is not allowed to guarantee the 12% value increase or profit.
To solve this question, first we need to find out the price of a single donut.
12 donuts = $ 6.00
1 donuts = $6.00 / 12
1 donuts = $ 0.50
After that, we just need to multiply the price for a single donut with the required amount (9), which will be:
9 x $ 0.50 = $ 4.50 . . . . for 9 donuts
Answer:
Helmut's basis at year-end is $3,900.
Explanation:
Beginning Basis = $2,000
Add: January 1 Liabilities at the rate of 10% = $20,000 × 10% = $2,000
Add: Increase in liabilities by the rate of 10% = $5,000 × 10% = $500
Less: Loss incurred at the rate of 10% = ($6,000 × 10%) = $600
Basis at the end of the year = $2,000 + $2,000 + $500 - $600
Basis at the end of the year = $3,900.
