Rationale: Real estate and intangible assets, including patents and goodwill, are nonallowable assets, so they will not be included in the calculation of net capital. These assets are considered nonallowable because they are not liquid assets. Net capital is a measure of liquid assets in excess of liabilities. Goodwill is the difference between what was actually paid for a company in an acquisition and the fair market value of the assets of the acquired company.

Rationale: Once the account transfer is validated, the carrying firm: • Will send a copy of the transfer instructions and a list of the client’s securities positions and money balances, and the values of the assets in the account. • Will freeze the account, cancelling all open orders and taking no new orders in the account. • Has three additional business days to complete the transfer. Completing the transaction includes figuring out if there are any securities that still haven’t been delivered or received and valuing the securities at the fair market value. The carrying firm should have determined whether to take exception to the transfer before validating the transfer.

Answer: The Best Answer is C

Rationale: Minor Rule violations are violations that FINRA views as minor, and therefore not subject to heavy sanctions. If the National Adjudicatory Council accepts the respondent’s letter, the respondent will be fined an amount not to exceed $2,500. Respondents can be either member firms or associated persons. Once the letter is accepted, the matter will be deemed final, and FINRA will report the violation to the SEC. Minor rules violations are not required to be disclosed on Form BD or Form U4, and they do not appear on brokercheck.
