After having been divorced for several years, Mrs. Blended has remarried a man with three children of his
own. She has set up a revocable trust in which she deposited funds that she inherited when her mother
died, so that the monies will go uncontested to her two biological children in the event of her own death.
These two adult children are the only beneficiaries of the trust. Mrs. Blended has no plans to touch any of
the money in the trust unless circumstances demand it in the future. The trust is invested in a mutual fund
that paid $500 in dividend income and distributed $3,000 in long-term capital gain income to the trust this
year. Which of the following statements is true regarding the tax treatment of these distributions?
A. The distributions will not be taxed at this point; they will be taxed as part of the estate upon Mrs.
Blended's death.

beneficiaries make withdrawals from the trust.
C. Mrs. Blended must pay taxes on the $3,500 in distributions.
D. Assuming her two adult children are equal beneficiaries, each one is responsible for paying tax on 50%
of the income to the trust, or $1,750.

Ms. Ears is an investment adviser representative. During lunch today, she overheard two men talking
about a hostile takeover that their firm was preparing to undertake. Based on this information, Ms. Ears
does not hesitate to advise the client she meets with immediately after lunch-Mrs. Clueless-- to invest a
sum of money in the firm the men had named as the target firm. Ms. Ears remembers that the price of
target firms, on average, increases significantly with an announcement of this sort, but she does not
inform Mrs. Clueless of the reason underlying her recommendation. Has there been any violation of
insider trading laws in this scenario, as described?
A. Yes. In making a recommendation based on information that was not publicly available, Ms. Ears has
violated insider trading laws and is subject to both civil and criminal penalties.

from discussing such private information in a public setting, and Ms. Ears is prohibited from making a
recommendation based on that information.
C. No. Ms. Ears is not considered to be an insider of the company preparing the hostile takeover.
D. No. The scenario does not suggest that Ms. Ears herself made any investment in the target firm, and
Mrs. Clueless was not made aware of the basis for Ms. Ears' recommendation.
