  4. Status Quo

What response would a loss-averse investor be most likely to choose in selecting a preferred investment return scenario?

  1. An assured loss of $750
  2. A 75% chance of losing $1,000, and a 25% chance of losing nothing
  3. A 25% chance of gaining $2,000, and a 75% chance of losing nothing
  4. A 5% chance of gaining $1,500, and a 95% chance of losing $800

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Loss-averse investors prioritize minimizing potential losses over maximizing gains. The option with a 25% chance of gaining $2,000 and a 75% chance of losing nothing has the lowest loss potential, making it the preferred choice. The feedback from the document states:

"The loss-averse investor will choose a lower potential of loss over a more rational choice. In this example, a 25% chance of gaining $2,000 and a 75% chance of losing nothing has the lowest possible loss potential, and will typically be the statement selected by the loss-averse investor."

What bias would influence an investor's decision to continue to hold an unprofitable investment despite little likelihood of an improvement in the investment's value?

  1. Representativeness
  2. Loss aversion
  3. Status quo
  4. Cognitive dissonance

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Loss aversion bias causes investors to hold onto unprofitable investments due to a stronger desire to avoid losses than to seek gains. The feedback from the document states:

"Loss aversion bias states that people generally feel a stronger impulse to avoid losses than to acquire gains. Loss aversion can prevent people from unloading unprofitable investments, even when they see little to no prospect of a turnaround."

Joanne's earned income last year was $45,000 and her pension adjustment was $2,500. She has $2,000 in carry-forward registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) room for the current taxation year.
What is Joanne's maximum tax-deductible RRSP contribution amount for the current year?

  1. $12,600
  2. $5,600
  3. $7,600
  4. $8,100

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The maximum tax-deductible RRSP contribution is calculated as 18% of the previous year's earned income, minus the pension adjustment, plus any carry-forward contribution room. In this case:

(18% × $45,000) = $8,100

$8,100 - $2,500 (pension adjustment) + $2,000 (carry-forward) = $7,600.

The feedback from the document confirms:

"Joanne's tax-deductible RRSP contribution room would be calculated as (18% × $45,000) - $2,500 + $2,000 = $7,600."

Rebecca, an investor in a 40% marginal tax bracket, receives $1,200 in Canadian dividends eligible for the dividend tax credit.
What is the dividend tax credit that applies to this income?

  1. $248.73
  2. $662.40
  3. $1,200
  4. $480

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The dividend tax credit for Canadian dividends is calculated based on the grossed-up dividend amount. For eligible dividends, the gross-up is 38%. The taxable amount for $1,200 in dividends is $1,200 × 1.38 = $1,656. The dividend tax credit is 15.02% of the grossed-up amount: $1,656 × 15.02% = $248.73. The feedback from the document confirms:

"The taxable amount of the dividend is the income received plus a 38% gross-up amount. In this example, $1,200 + ($1,200 × 38%) = $1,656. The dividend tax credit is 15.02% of the grossed-up amount, in this example, $1,656 × 15.02% = $248.73."

  1. Capital gains
  2. Capital losses
  3. Canadian dividend income
  4. Foreign dividend income

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Foreign dividend income is taxed at the investor's marginal tax rate without the benefit of a dividend tax credit, unlike Canadian dividend income, which qualifies for a tax credit. The feedback from the document states:

"Foreign dividend income is not eligible for any dividend tax credit, and is taxed at an investor's marginal tax rate."
