Securities that are registered through qualification may only be sold: - 🧠

ANSWER ✔✔Once the registration is declared effective by the

Administrator

Securities that are registered through qualification may be sold once the

registration is declared effective by the Administrator. Note that in choice

(c), the use of the term approved is inappropriate. Securities that are

deemed effective for sale by an Administrator may not be described as

having been approved by the Administrator.

The difference between a corporation's current assets and its current

liabilities is the: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Working capital

,The amount by which a corporation's current assets exceed its current

liabilities is referred to as working capital.

Assuming an expected rate of return, a specific holding period, and a sum

to be invested, an IAR is able to determine an investment's: - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔Future value


The future value of an investment is based on the present value of the

amount invested, using a discount rate each year, and doing so over a

given period of time. The assumption is that the annual return is reinvested

at the same rate, or is compounded over the given time period, thereby

resulting in a future value that exceeds the present value.

Which of the following types of risk is MOST associated with the purchase

of a five-year T-bond? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Interest-rate


Interest-rate risk, which is also referred to as money-rate risk, is essentially

the risk that if interest rates rise, the prices of the debt securities will fall. If

an investor needs to liquidate her debt investment prior to maturity, rising

interest rates reduce the value she would receive if she sold the security in

the secondary market. Market risk is primarily associated with common

stock. Since the secondary market for Treasuries is very active, liquidity

,risk is not a factor. Although legislative risk (changes in the law) could

create diminished value for the instruments, it is not likely to occur.

A person has established an IA as a sole proprietorship and works as an

IAR out of his home office. To help promote and manage the IA, he has set

up a website which contains personal information about his clients. A few

weeks after setting up the website, the IAR discovers that the website has

been hacked and his customers' account information has been stolen.

What is the primary regulatory concern? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The IA did not

prepare proper cybersecurity policies, procedures, and measures before

launching the website.

Both the SEC and state Administrators require IAs to establish

cybersecurity policies in order to protect their clients. Since the website was

hacked, the regulator's primary concern is the extent of the IA's

cybersecurity measures. The regulations don't require websites to be

password protected, despite the fact that many IAs may find them

necessary to protect client information. Also, there's no requirement for an

IA to be federally covered before creating a website. Although websites are
