Investors in small firms need to expect volatility and have a long-term time horizon. Gerald

Perritt recommends investing in between 20 and 30 different issues, and turnover should be

limited to no more than 30% annually in order to control transaction costs.


Special arrangements need to be made concerning the residence and contents of the high net

worth individual's primary residence for which situation?


A)When the owner is planning to live overseas for a year


B)When the owner is taking a month to travel through Europe


C)When the owner is on vacation for a week


D)When the owner is at their vacation home for two weeks - Answer✔✔-A




When the primary residence will be vacant for a short time, homeowners policies will continue

to provide coverage. However, when the owner will be out of the country for a year, the

property may be considered vacant and coverage may not apply. Specialty insurance carriers

who commonly deal with situations such as clients who live internationally for periods of time

can reduce the likelihood that a significant risk is overlooked. These companies often provide

risk managers who can properly advise clients concerning their choices.

A)Receiving passive business income


B)Receiving municipal bond interest


C)Capturing capital gain income


D)Maximizing the use of charitable contribution deductions. - Answer✔✔-B




Municipal bond interest is not subject to the Medicare contribution tax, nor does it increase the

AGI.




Charitable contributions increase itemized deductions, thereby reducing taxable income.

However, the threshold for the Medicare contribution tax is based on AGI, not taxable income.




Passive business income is specifically subject to the Medicare contribution tax, as is capital gain

income.

Top-hat plans and SERPs also are subject to some reporting and disclosure requirements under

ERISA.


Which statement is correct regarding federal transfer taxation?

apply if the transferee is more than 37.5 years younger than the transferor.
