Q

series EE savings bonds

A

The formula is a ratio utilizing the given information in the question fact pattern. She redeemed $5,000 worth of bonds, and used $3,000 of that for education so that’s the beginning of the formula 3,000 / 5,000. When EE government bonds are used for education, the interest is free of income taxes. Take the ratio calculated (3,000/5,000 = .60) times the $2,500 of gain, and that is the amount that is excluded from income.

Donna may exclude $1,500 of interest income from her gross income [($3,000 / $5,000) × $2,500 = $1,500]. Therefore, Donna must include $1,000 in her gross income ($2,500 - $1,500).

Q

403b

A

A 403(b) plan may be adopted by an employer that is a tax-exempt organization or that is a public school system. Organizations that are wholly owned by a state or local government are usually not eligible employers, but a state hospital organized as a separate 501(c)(3) organization will be eligible. Also eligible is an agency of a state that is part of a public school system and an educational organization, such as a college or private school.

63
Q

own occupation

A

Own occupation is the most generous type of coverage because the definition is the most stringent. If the insured does not fit the very narrowly defined specifics of his or her occupation, then the insured can collect benefits and continue to work in another area if need be. Therefore, collecting disability and a salary. For example, a surgeon injures their hand, cannot perform surgery, but can teach at a local college in their medical program.

Any occupation is the most restrictive type of coverage because the insured will receive no benefits if he or she can hold any job. Sarah’s disability policy only pays 50% of her monthly gross salary. Since the premium payments are split between Sarah and the employer, benefits would not be 100% income-tax-free.

64
Q

After age 65, distributions that are not for qualified medical expenses are subject to income tax, but are not subject to the 20% penalty. Distributions for qualified medical expenses are not subject to income tax or penalty.

SML=CAPM=Beta

67
Q

If a MFJ taxpayer’s combined income exceeds $44,000, up to 85% of Social Security benefits may be subject to taxation.

68
Q

Qtip

A

A QTIP election for the trust will help to reduce federal estate taxes for Jill’s estate. The QTIP election preserves the marital deduction for the trust and will defer estate taxes to Samuel’s estate. A QTIP election for only a portion of the trust will help to reduce overall estate taxes on Samuel’s and Jill’s estates because, then, Jill’s estate can make use of the applicable unified credit.

Income is not a criteria for a qualifying child, support is, and as long as the mother is supporting Addison with a place to live and paying for more than half of her expenses, she meets the test.

71
Q

100/300/25 insurance split

A

The $300,000 limit is the maximum the insurer will pay for all bodily injuries in an accident, regardless of how many are injured.

The $25,000 limit is the maximum the insurer will pay for property damage
The defense costs are covered in addition to the policy’s limits. $300,000 + $25,000 + $18,000 = $343,000

72
Q

skewness and kurtosis.

A

Investors generally are risk averse and will prefer positive skewness to negative skewness.

Investors generally prefer low kurtosis to high kurtosis. High kurtosis means that there is increased probability of both upside and downside returns. While the two are balanced out, investors react more to the increased downside potential and prefer to avoid such increased downside risk.

73
Q

Immunization

A

Immunization occurs when the portfolio’s duration, not its term to maturity, coincides with the investor’s need for the funds from the portfolio.
