質問 # 66
Maalik opens an account for a new client, John. During the new account process, Maalik determines that he will need to confirm John's identity. Which of the following statements about Maalik's identification requirements is CORRECT?
- A. If Maalik determines that there is anything suspicious about John's transaction, he is required to report the matter to his dealer. The dealer must report the matter to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).
- B. If John wants to make a large cash deposit of $10,000 or more, Maalik is required to collect personal information about John and report it to his dealer. The dealer must report the information to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
- C. If John attempts to make a suspicious deposit, Maalik is required to report the attempt to his dealer. The dealer must keep records of attempted suspicious transactions that are not reported to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).
- D. If Maalik learns that John is the president of a state-owned company, Maalik is required to report John as a Politically Exposed Foreign Person (PEFP) to his dealer. If John is not a US person, the dealer must report the account to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
The statement that is correct about Maalik's identification requirements is option A. According to Section 7 of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), registered firms and individuals must report any suspicious transactions or attempted transactions to FINTRAC, which is Canada's financial intelligence unit that collects, analyzes, and discloses information related to money laundering and terrorist financing activities. A suspicious transaction or attempted transaction is one that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that it is related to a money laundering or terrorist financing offence. Therefore, if Maalik determines that there is anything suspicious about John's transaction, he must report the matter to his dealer, who must report it to FINTRAC within 30 days of making the determination. The other statements are not correct about Maalik's identification requirements. Option B is false because Maalik does not need to report John as a PEFP to his dealer; rather, he must take reasonable measures to determine whether John is a PEFP or a family member or close associate of a PEFP, and if so, he must obtain senior management approval before opening an account for John, take enhanced measures to verify John's identity, and conduct enhanced ongoing monitoring of John's account activity. Option C is false because Maalik does not need to collect personal information about John and report it to his dealer if John wants to make a large cash deposit; rather, he must verify John's identity using an original, valid, and current document or information from a reliable source, keep a record of John's name and address and the date and amount of the deposit, and report any large cash transactions of $10,000 or more in Canadian currency or its equivalent to FINTRAC within 15 days of receiving the cash. Option D is false because Maalik does not need to report the attempt to his dealer if John attempts to make a suspicious deposit; rather, he must report the attempt directly to FINTRAC within 30 days of detecting the suspicion, regardless of whether the transaction was completed or not.

質問 # 68
Dakota is a Dealing Representative with Harvest Wealth Inc., a mutual fund dealer. Dakota starts a marketing campaign to contact prospective new clients and increase sales with existing clients. Which of the following CORRECTLY describes activities that Dakota can engage in under her marketing campaign?
- A. Dakota can send promotional emails to clients who have opted in to receive commercial electronic messages (CEMs).
- B. Dakota can make telemarketing calls to clients who are listed on the National Do Not Call List
- C. Dakota can send promotional emails to clients who have opted into Harvest Wealth's Do Not Call List
- D. Dakota can make telemarketing calls to clients who have opted in to receive commercial electronic messages (CEMs).
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Dakota can send promotional emails to clients who have opted in to receive commercial electronic messages (CEMs). A CEM is any electronic message that encourages participation in a commercial activity, such as an email, a text message, or a social media message. Under Canada's anti-spam legislation (CASL), Dakota must obtain consent from the recipients before sending CEMs, either explicitly (e.g., by asking them to sign up for a newsletter) or implicitly (e.g., by having an existing business relationship with them). Dakota must also identify himself and his dealer, provide contact information, and include an unsubscribe mechanism in every CEM. The other statements are incorrect. Dakota cannot make telemarketing calls to clients who are listed on the National Do Not Call List (DNCL). The DNCL is a list of telephone numbers of consumers who do not want to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls. Under the Telecommunications Act, Dakota must register with the National DNCL operator, subscribe to the National DNCL, and avoid calling any number on the list, unless he has express consent from the consumer or an exemption applies. Dakota cannot send promotional emails to clients who have opted into Harvest Wealth's Do Not Call List. A Do Not Call List is a list of telephone numbers of consumers who do not want to receive telemarketing calls from a specific organization.
Under the Telecommunications Act, Dakota must maintain an internal Do Not Call List for his dealer and respect the requests of consumers who ask not to be called by his dealer. However, this does not mean that he can send promotional emails to those consumers, as that would violate CASL. Dakota cannot make telemarketing calls to clients who have opted in to receive commercial electronic messages (CEMs). Opting in to receive CEMs does not imply consent to receive telemarketing calls, as they are different forms of communication governed by different laws . Dakota must obtain separate consent from the clients before making telemarketing calls to them, either explicitly or implicitly.

質問 # 69
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) that track an index and index mutual funds have many similarities. However, what is a major difference between these two products?
- A. ETFs can be purchased continuously throughout the trading day while index funds can only be bought or sold at the end of the day.
- B. ETFs do not have management fees since they are exchange traded while index funds do incur such fees.
- C. While ETFs are prone to tracking errors, index funds are perfectly aligned with their underlying index.
- D. The market price of ETFs always matches the underlying basket of securities while there can be a discrepancy in pricing index funds.
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
ETFs can be purchased continuously throughout the trading day while index funds can only be bought or sold at the end of the day. This is because ETFs are traded on a stock exchange like stocks, while index funds are traded directly with the fund company like mutual funds. This difference gives ETFs more liquidity and flexibility than index funds, as investors can buy and sell ETFs at any time during market hours at the prevailing market price. Index funds, on the other hand, are priced only once a day at the end of the day based on the net asset value per unit (NAVPU) of the fund. Both ETFs and index funds are prone to tracking errors (A), which are the differences between the performance of the fund and the performance of the underlying index. Tracking errors can be caused by various factors, such as fees, expenses, dividends, rebalancing, and market conditions. The market price of ETFs does not always match the underlying basket of securities , as it is determined by supply and demand in the market. There can be a discrepancy between the market price and the NAVPU of an ETF, which is called the premium or discount. Index funds, on the other hand, are priced based on the NAVPU of the fund, which reflects the value of the underlying securities. Both ETFs and index funds have management fees (D), as they are both types of mutual funds that incur costs for managing and operating the fund. However, ETFs usually have lower management fees than index funds, as they are more passive and have lower turnover and distribution costs.

質問 # 72
Salvatore and Harriet recently got married. They are presently renting but are looking forward to buying a new home within 5 years. They both have separate savings established in their respective registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) of $100,000 each. They have come to Dustin, a Dealing Representative, to open an additional joint investment account to increase their savings to assist with their future plans of buying a new home.
What does Dustin need to ensure about his recommendation?
- A. That the risk profile for this new account is the same as what has been determined for other accounts.
- B. That the risk profile of the investment and each client's individual risk profile are a match.
- C. That the investment recommendation is based on the risk profile of the new joint account.
- D. That the recommended investment is different from what they currently own to avoid over-concentration.
正解:C
解説:
Explanation
Dustin needs to ensure that his recommendation is suitable for the new joint account, which may have a different risk profile than the individual accounts of Salvatore and Harriet. A joint account is an account that is owned by two or more people who share the rights and responsibilities of the account. A joint account may have different investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and financial situation than the individual accounts of the joint owners. Therefore, Dustin needs to conduct a know your client (KYC) process for the joint account and determine the appropriate risk profile for the account, based on the collective responses of Salvatore and Harriet. The risk profile of the joint account will guide Dustin in recommending suitable investment products and services that match the goals and needs of the joint owners
質問 # 73
Last year Peter's earned income from employment was $50,000.
Last year, after receiving a $2 per share in dividends from 500 shares in ABC Inc., a publicly-traded Canadian corporation, he sold his shares. The sale resulted in a capital gain of $15,000.
Based on the tax rates mentioned above, what is Peter's net federal tax liability for the year? (Round to 2 decimal places).
- A. $9,696.15
- B. $9,193.69
- C. $9,953.30
- D. $9,113.53
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
To calculate Peter's net federal tax liability for the year, we need to follow these steps:
* Step 1: Calculate Peter's taxable income. This is the amount of income that is subject to federal income tax. It is equal to his earned income from employment plus his net capital gain plus his grossed-up dividend income. A net capital gain is 50% of the capital gain realized from selling an asset. A grossed-up dividend income is the actual dividend received plus a percentage of the dividend that reflects the corporate tax paid by the issuer. According to the image, the dividend gross-up rate is
15.02%. Therefore, Peter's taxable income is:
50000+0.5*15000+(500*2)*(1+0.1502)=68251.00
* Step 2: Apply the federal tax rates to Peter's taxable income according to the tax brackets shown in the image. The federal tax rates are progressive, meaning that higher income is taxed at higher rates.
Therefore, Peter's federal tax before credits is:
0.15*(485350)+0.205*(6825148535)=11293.69
* Step 3: Subtract the federal tax credits from Peter's federal tax before credits. A tax credit is an amount that reduces the tax payable by a taxpayer. There are two types of federal tax credits: non-refundable and refundable. Non-refundable tax credits can only reduce the tax payable to zero, but not below zero.
* Refundable tax credits can reduce the tax payable below zero, resulting in a refund to the taxpayer. In this question, we assume that Peter only has two non-refundable tax credits: the basic personal amount and the dividend tax credit. The basic personal amount is a fixed amount that every taxpayer can claim to reduce their taxable income. According to this site, the basic personal amount for 2021 is $13,808.
The dividend tax credit is a percentage of the grossed-up dividend income that reflects the corporate tax paid by the issuer and avoids double taxation. According to this site, the federal dividend tax credit rate for eligible dividends in 2021 is 15.0198%. Therefore, Peter's federal tax credits are:
0.15*13808+0.150198*(500*2)*0.1502=2100
* Step 4: Subtract Peter's federal tax credits from his federal tax before credits to get his net federal tax liability. This is the amount of federal income tax that Peter has to pay or has overpaid for the year.
Therefore, Peter's net federal tax liability is:
11293.692100=9193.69
Hence, option B is correct. References: Canadian Investment Funds Course (CIFC) | IFSE Institute, Federal Income Tax Rates for Canada - TurboTax Canada Tips, Capital Gains Tax in Canada | Wealthsimple, Dividend Tax Credit | TurboTax Canada Tips, Basic Personal Amount (BPA)
質問 # 74
Which of the following statements about standard deviation is CORRECT?
- A. A standard deviation greater than one indicates a higher level of volatility than the market.
- B. Standard deviation is also referred to as beta.
- C. Measures the systematic risk of an investment relative to a benchmark index.
- D. Indicates how much an investment's performance fluctuates around its average historical return.
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
The correct answer is A. Indicates how much an investment's performance fluctuates around its average historical return.
Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the data points are from the mean value. It is calculated as the square root of the variance, which is the average of the squared differences from the mean. Standard deviation can be used to assess the volatility or risk of an investment by showing how much the returns deviate from the expected or average return. A higher standard deviation means that the investment has a wider range of possible outcomes, which implies more uncertainty and risk. A lower standard deviation means that the investment has a narrower range of possible outcomes, which implies more stability and consistency.
B). A standard deviation greater than one indicates a higher level of volatility than the market. This statement is incorrect because the standard deviation of an investment is not directly comparable to the standard deviation of the market, unless they have the same mean return. The standard deviation of an investment only measures the absolute variation of the returns, not the relative variation to the market. A better measure of the relative volatility of an investment to the market is beta, which is the ratio of the covariance of the investment and the market to the variance of the market.
C). Measures the systematic risk of an investment relative to a benchmark index. This statement is incorrect because the standard deviation of an investment does not distinguish between the systematic risk and the unsystematic risk. The systematic risk is the risk that affects the entire market or a large segment of the market, such as inflation, interest rates, or political events. The unsystematic risk is the risk that affects a specific investment or a small group of investments, such as management decisions, product quality, or lawsuits. The standard deviation of an investment captures both types of risk, whereas the beta of an investment only captures the systematic risk.
D). Standard deviation is also referred to as beta. This statement is incorrect because standard deviation and beta are different measures of risk. Standard deviation measures the absolute variation of the returns of an investment, whereas beta measures the relative variation of the returns of an investment to the market.
Standard deviation is a measure of total risk, whereas beta is a measure of systematic risk.
質問 # 75
One of your clients, Harry, has heard that he can defer paying tax on capital gains. He wants to know if what he has heard is correct and if so, how to defer paying taxes on capital gains.
What would you tell Harry?
- A. He should invest in mutual funds just before the dividend paying date to pick up the dividend.
- B. He should hold unprofitable investments as long as possible.
- C. He should hold profitable investments as long as possible.
- D. Harry should buy and sell investments actively.
正解:C
解説:
Explanation
The answer that you should tell Harry is that he should hold profitable investments as long as possible. A capital gain is the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of an asset when the selling price is higher than the purchase price. A capital gain is subject to tax only when it is realized, meaning that the asset is sold or disposed of. Therefore, one way to defer paying tax on capital gains is to hold profitable investments as long as possible and delay selling them until a future year. This allows the investor to postpone paying tax on the capital gain and benefit from the compounding effect of the investment returns. Therefore, option A is correct regarding how to defer paying taxes on capital gains. The other options are not correct or effective ways to defer paying taxes on capital gains. Option B is false because investing in mutual funds just before the dividend paying date does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it increases the taxable income of the investor by adding dividend income, which may be subject to a gross-up and a tax credit depending on the type of dividend. Option C is false because buying and selling investments actively does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it triggers more taxable events and increases the transaction costs of investing. Option D is false because holding unprofitable investments as long as possible does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it reduces the potential return of the portfolio and prevents the investor from using capital losses to offset capital gains from other sources.

質問 # 77
Every February, Reginald, a Dealing Representative, feels pressured by his Manager to generate new registered retirement savings plans (RRSP) and contributions to assist the branch in meeting broader business targets. Reginald is nearing the end of February, and he has a meeting with a new client, Orel. Orel wants to open a tax-free savings account (TFSA) to develop emergency savings because he does not want to worry about his withdrawals being taxed. Reginald suggests that if Orel were to contribute to an RRSP first, then the resulting tax savings could be used to fund a new emergency account.
In relation to account suitability, what can be said about Reginald's advice?
- A. By convincing Orel to contribute an RRSP, instead of a TFSA, Reginald has put his client's interest first.
- B. Reginald is putting the client's interest first by informing Orel why he should change his purpose for investing.
- C. Based on Orel's stated need, recommending an RRSP contribution is unsuitable.
- D. Recommending an investment solution that addresses two needs is putting Reginald's client's interest first

質問 # 78
Which of the following statements describes a feature of the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)?
- A. A qualifying home must be purchased by December 31 of the year of withdrawal.
- B. Once you are required to repay the amounts back to your RRSP. any missed or incomplete payments are subject to tax.
- C. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, each of you can withdraw up to JE50.000 from your registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs).
- D. To qualify- as a first-time home buyer you or your spouse must never have previously owned a home
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) is a program that allows eligible first-time home buyers to withdraw up to
$35,000 from their registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) to buy or build a qualifying home without paying any tax on the withdrawal. The withdrawn amount must be repaid to the RRSP over a period of up to
15 years, starting from the second year after the withdrawal. If the required repayment for a year is not made, it is added to the taxpayer's income and subject to tax. Therefore, option B describes a feature of the HBP. The other options are not correct descriptions of the HBP. Option A is false because to qualify as a first-time home buyer, you or your spouse must not have owned and lived in another home as your principal place of residence during the four-year period before the date of withdrawal. Option C is false because a qualifying home must be purchased or built before October 1 of the year following the year of withdrawal. Option D is false because if you have a spouse or common-law partner, each of you can withdraw up to $35,000 from your RRSPs, not
$50,000. References: [Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)], [Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) - Canada.ca], [Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) | GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca]

Which of the following statements is true when comparing fund of funds to traditional mutual funds?
- A. Fund of funds have higher fees than traditional mutual funds since there are two sets of management fees.
- B. Fund of funds have more fee structure options available and lower fees than traditional mutual funds.
- C. Fund of funds have more asset class options available and lower fees than traditional mutual funds.
- D. Since fund of funds invest primarily outside Canada, they will have higher fees than traditional mutual funds.
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
A fund of funds is a mutual fund that invests in other mutual funds. This means that there are two levels of management fees: one for the fund of funds itself and one for the underlying funds. Therefore, fund of funds have higher fees than traditional mutual funds that invest directly in securities. References: Canadian Investment Funds Course (CIFC) | IFSE Institute, Unit 6, Lesson 2
質問 # 80
Your client, Kimberly has investments in both registered and non-registered plans. Which of the following investment strategies is best suited for Kimberly from a tax perspective?
- A. Include interest paying investments in the registered plan and dividend paying investments in the non-registered plan.
- B. Include domestic pay assets in the registered plan and foreign pay assets in the non-registered plan.
- C. Include dividend paying investments in the registered plan and interest paying investments in the non-registered plan.
- D. Include investments paying capital gains in the registered plan and foreign pay investments in the non-registered plan.
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
According to the Canadian Investment Funds Course, different types of investment income are taxed differently in Canada. Interest income is fully taxed at the marginal rate, while dividend income is favourably taxed with a dividend tax credit. Capital gains are taxed on 50% of the gain at the marginal rate, and foreign income is subject to withholding tax. Therefore, a tax-efficient strategy is to include interest paying investments, such as bonds or GICs, in the registered plan, where they can grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Dividend paying investments, such as Canadian stocks or ETFs, should be included in the non-registered plan, where they can benefit from the lower tax rate and the dividend tax credit. Foreign income should also be avoided in the non-registered plan, unless it is held in a U.S. dollar account or a foreign currency hedged ETF, to reduce the impact of withholding tax and currency fluctuations.

質問 # 81
Solomon is a Dealing Representative who is excited about a new equity fund his dealer recently approved. He thinks investors will be attracted to the fund's historical performance. He has a prospective new client, Madira, who is 25 years old. Madira has invested in mutual funds before, but not with Solomon's dealer. She has made an appointment to open a new RRSP with Solomon's firm.
What does Solomon need to do to make this a suitable recommendation?
- A. Match the past rates of return of the mutual fund with what is the anticipated rate of return.
- B. Identify how the proposed investment is in alignment with the investor's profile and holdings.
- C. Show from past fund performance, that mutual fund costs are not important if there are high returns.
- D. Rely on the risk rating of the mutual fund when offering an investment solution.
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
To make a suitable recommendation, Solomon needs to identify how the proposed investment is in alignment with the investor's profile and holdings. A suitable recommendation is one that meets the investor's needs, goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and personal circumstances. It also considers the investor's existing portfolio and how the new investment would affect its diversification, performance, and risk. Therefore, option C is correct regarding what Solomon needs to do to make a suitable recommendation. The other options are not correct or sufficient to make a suitable recommendation. Option A is false because mutual fund costs are important regardless of the past fund performance, as they reduce the net returns and compound over time.
Option B is false because relying on the risk rating of the mutual fund is not enough to offer an investment solution, as it does not reflect the investor's return expectations, liquidity needs, tax situation, or personal preferences. Option D is false because matching the past rates of return of the mutual fund with what is the anticipated rate of return is not a reliable way to make a recommendation, as past performance does not guarantee future results and may not be consistent with the investor's risk tolerance or time horizon.

質問 # 82
During the calendar year, Firmansyah received a $1,800 eligible dividend from a large Canadian bank and a
$US dollar (USD) dividend of $882.02 from a foreign-based corporation. The USD/CAD exchange rates is
1.3605.
Firmansyah's federal marginal tax bracket is 29%. The enhanced dividend gross-up rate is 38% and the federal dividend tax credit rate for eligible dividends is 15%.
What federal tax liability will be result from his investment income?
- A. $695.76
- B. $870.00
- C. $522.00
- D. $348.00
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
To calculate the federal tax liability from the investment income, we need to consider the following steps:
Convert the foreign dividend to Canadian dollars using the exchange rate. In this case, $882.02 USD x
1.3605 = $1,200.00 CAD.
Gross up the eligible dividend by the enhanced dividend gross-up rate of 38%. In this case, $1,800 x
1.38 = $2,484.
Add the grossed-up eligible dividend and the foreign dividend to get the total taxable income from dividends. In this case, $2,484 + $1,200 = $3,684.
Multiply the total taxable income from dividends by the federal marginal tax rate of 29% to get the gross federal tax payable. In this case, $3,684 x 0.29 = $1,068.36.
Multiply the grossed-up eligible dividend by the federal dividend tax credit rate of 15% to get the federal dividend tax credit. In this case, $2,484 x 0.15 = $372.60.
Subtract the federal dividend tax credit from the gross federal tax payable to get the net federal tax liability. In this case, $1,068.36 - $372.60 = $695.76.
Therefore, Firmansyah's federal tax liability from his investment income is $695.76.

質問 # 83
Jasmine purchases a 1-year, $10,000 face value strip bond for $9,600. At maturity, when Jasmine receives
$10,000, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
- A. Jasmine realizes interest income of $400.
- B. Jasmine realizes a taxable dividend of $400.
- C. Jasmine realizes a taxable capital gain of $400.
- D. Jasmine realizes a capital dividend of S400.
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Jasmine realizes interest income of $400 because she bought a strip bond, which is a bond that has its principal and coupon payments separated and sold individually. Jasmine bought the principal-stripped bond, also known as a zero-coupon bond, which pays no interest until maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the face value at maturity is considered interest income and is taxable in the year it is received.
