Question 875:
During a financial planning session, a client expresses interest in creating a financial legacy. If they want to leave $1 million to their heirs and are currently 50 years old, which of the following strategies would best ensure this goal is met over the next 30 years?
B) Establishing an irrevocable life insurance trust
C) Avoiding all equity investments
D) Keeping all assets in cash equivalents
Answer: B
Explanation: Establishing an irrevocable life insurance trust allows the client to remove assets from their taxable estate, providing a tax-efficient way to ensure a financial legacy and potentially leveraging life insurance for a greater payout.
Question 876:
A client is reviewing their financial statements and notices that their cash flow from operations is consistently negative. If they have a net income of $20,000 but substantial non-cash expenses, what should the planner advise as the first step to Boost cash flow?
A) Increase revenue through sales growth
B) Reduce discretionary spending immediately
C) Convert non-cash expenses to cash
A) Investing solely in high-yield savings accounts
D) Seek additional financing to cover the shortfall
Answer: A
Explanation: Improving revenue through sales growth is essential, as it directly affects cash flow. While cutting expenses is important, increasing operational efficiency and revenue generation should be prioritized to create a sustainable
cash flow.
Question 877:
assuming they will not make additional contributions?
A) 6%
B) 5%
C) 4%
D) 7%
Answer: A
Explanation: To calculate the required rate of return, we can use the future value formula and retirement withdrawal needs. The future value needed can be determined by the annuity formula, leading to an estimated return around 6% to reach the desired income.
Question 878:
During a financial planning review, a client is considering the impact of outside economic factors on their investments. If a recession is predicted, which of the following investment strategies would typically be most advisable?
A financial planner is helping a client assess their retirement savings. If the client currently has $300,000 saved and wants to retire in 15 years with an annual income of $75,000, what rate of return must they achieve to meet their goal,
1. Increase investments in high-risk stocks
2. Shift portfolio to more defensive sectors
3. Liquidate all investments immediately
4. Invest heavily in commodities
Answer: B
Explanation: Shifting the portfolio to more defensive sectors, such as utilities and consumer staples, is advisable during a recession as these sectors tend to be less volatile and provide stability during economic downturns.
Question 879:

what adjustment should be considered as the client approaches retirement in 20 years?
A) Increase equity allocation to 80%
B) Gradually shift to a more balanced allocation
C) Move entirely into bonds
D) Maintain the current allocation
Answer: B
Explanation: As the client approaches retirement, it is prudent to gradually shift the portfolio to a more balanced allocation that includes fixed income to reduce risk and ensure capital preservation as they near the withdrawal phase.
Question 880:
A client wants to maximize their contributions to retirement accounts. If they are 45 years old and eligible for a 401(k) with a contribution limit of $22,500, what is the total potential contribution amount if the client also utilizes catch-up

B) $30,000 C) $27,000 D) $40,500
Answer: B
Explanation: For individuals aged 50 and above, the IRS allows additional catch- up contributions. For 2023, this allows for an additional $7,500 on top of the standard limit, making the total potential contribution for someone aged 50 or older $30,000.
Question 881:
A couple is planning for their child's college education, which they anticipate will cost $100,000 in 10 years. They want to determine how much they need to save annually if they expect to earn an annual return of 6%. What formula should they use to calculate the annual savings required?
F V
A) (1+r)n
F V �r
B) (1+r)n -1
C) F V � (1 + r)n
F V
D) n
Answer: B
Explanation: To determine the annual savings required to reach a future value (FV) of $100,000 in 10 years with an annual return of 6%, the couple should use
F V �r
the future value of an annuity formula: PMT = (1+r)n -1 .
Question 882:
A financial planner is analyzing the education funding strategy for a client with a 5-year-old child. The client currently has $20,000 set aside in a 529 plan. If they expect to contribute an additional $10,000 annually and the plan is projected to grow at an annual rate of 5%, what will the total amount in the account be when the child turns 18?
A) $195,896 B) $180,000 C) $160,000 D) $210,000
Explanation: The future value of the investment can be calculated using the
n
future value of a series formula: F V = P � (1 + r)n + PMT � (1+r) -1 . Here,
r
P = 20000, PMT = 10000, r = 0.05, and n = 13. The final amount will be
approximately $195,896.
Question 882:
A client is considering gifting $15,000 to their child. They want to understand the gift tax implications. If the annual exclusion limit is $17,000 for the year, which of the following statements is true regarding the gift tax liability?

B) No gift tax is owed since it is below the annual exclusion limit.
C) Only $2,000 is subject to gift tax.
D) The client must file a gift tax return regardless of the exclusion.
Answer: B
Explanation: Since the gift of $15,000 is below the annual exclusion limit of

Answer: A
Question 883:
During a financial planning meeting, a client expresses concern about the rising costs of education. They want to understand the impact of inflation on their education savings plan. If the expected annual inflation rate for education costs is projected to be 4% over the next 10 years, how much will a college education
that costs $50,000 today be in 10 years?
Answer: A
Explanation: To calculate the future cost of education, use the formula F V = P V � (1 + r)n. Here, P V = 50000, r = 0.04, and n = 10. This results in approximately $74,000.
Question 884:
A young professional is evaluating the best education savings vehicle for their newborn child. They are considering a 529 plan and a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA). Which of the following statements correctly differentiates these two options?

B) $440.00
C) $500.00 D) $600.00
Answer: A

P �r(1+r)n

n = 120. The monthly payment is approximately $350.98.

A) $210,000 B) $200,000 C) $180,000 D) $250,000

Explanation: By electing to gift-split, the couple can exclude up to $34,000 ($17,000 each) from gift tax. Since they are gifting a total of $25,000, it is fully excluded, and no gift tax is owed.
Question 890:

2. The trust may incur income tax on earnings, but distributions for education can help the beneficiaries lower their tax bracket.
3. All income generated by the trust must be distributed to avoid taxation.
4. Trusts can only be used if the total education costs exceed $100,000.
Answer: B
Explanation: While the trust can incur income tax on earnings, distributions for
education can potentially help the beneficiaries lower their tax burden, as they may fall into a lower tax bracket.
Question 891:

$5,000 annually in a savings account that earns 3% interest compounded annually, how much will they have accumulated after 15 years?

Answer: D

to an accumulation of approximately $73,000.
Question 892:
