Payoff math, hedges, spreads, and suitability.

  1. Question 1 / 10

    Customer profile

    Before recommending a security, which customer detail is most directly part of the basic investor profile?

    Answer choices for question 1
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: Investment objective

    Investment objective is a core customer-profile fact. The representative needs it before making a recommendation because it frames suitability.

  2. Question 2 / 10

    Debt securities

    A customer owns a 6% corporate bond. New bonds of similar quality are now issued at 8%. What generally happens to the customer's bond price?

    Answer choices for question 2
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: It falls below par

    Bond prices and market yields move inversely. If new comparable yields rise above the existing coupon, the older bond generally trades at a discount.

  3. Question 3 / 10

    Options

    An investor buys 1 XYZ 50 call at 4. What is the breakeven at expiration?

    Answer choices for question 3
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: 54

    A long call breaks even at strike price plus premium paid. Here that is 50 + 4 = 54.

  4. Question 4 / 10

    Municipal bonds

    Which source of repayment is most associated with a municipal revenue bond?

    Answer choices for question 4
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: Project or enterprise revenue

    Revenue bonds are backed by income from a project or enterprise. General obligation bonds are backed by the issuer's taxing power.

  5. Question 5 / 10

    Margin

    A long margin account has $20,000 market value and a $9,000 debit balance. What is the equity?

    Answer choices for question 5
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: $11,000

    Long-account equity equals long market value minus debit balance. $20,000 - $9,000 = $11,000.

  6. Question 6 / 10

    Equity securities

    Which security generally gives the holder residual ownership and voting rights?

    Answer choices for question 6
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: Common stock

    Common stock represents residual ownership in a corporation and typically carries voting rights.

  7. Question 7 / 10

    Communications

    A retail communication about an investment product should be presented in which way?

    Answer choices for question 7
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: Fair and balanced

    Retail communications must be fair and balanced. Benefits should not be presented without appropriate risks and limitations.

  8. Question 8 / 10

    Suitability

    A retired investor needs current income and low volatility. Which factor is most important before recommending a high-risk growth product?

    Answer choices for question 8
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: The customer's risk tolerance

    Risk tolerance, income need, time horizon, liquidity, and objectives drive suitability. A high-risk growth product may conflict with this profile.

  9. Question 9 / 10

    Customer accounts

    What is generally required before a representative may exercise discretion in a customer's account?

    Answer choices for question 9
    Show answer and explanation

    Discretionary authority requires written customer authorization and firm acceptance or approval before discretionary trading occurs.

    Investment companies

    Which feature is most associated with an open-end mutual fund?

    Answer choices for question 10
    Show answer and explanation
