Answer(s): C
Standard V states: "Members shall make reasonable efforts to achieve public dissemination of material nonpublic information disclosed in breach of a duty."
Which of the following is not a violation of Standard II (C)?
Answer(s): D
Using excerpts from articles or reports prepared by others, either verbatim, or with only a slight change, without acknowledgment; citing specific quotations, attributable to "leading analysts," without specific reference; using charts or graphs without stating their sources; and copying proprietary computerized spreadsheets or algorithms without seeking the authorization of their creators - all of these practices are violations of Standard II (C). Only globally recognized sources of factual material such as that provided by Standard & Poor's, or Moody's Investors Service, can be used without acknowledgment, since such information is already in the public realm.
Christine Crumbwell and Dorothy Drummond are two portfolio managers with Neptune Funds. Cristine is managing the personal trust fund of Paul Roker, who created the fund as an income support for his wife and a legacy for his two sons after his wife's death. Dorothy is in charge of a fund created by Katey Koric. Katey had started this fund as a long-term investment but recently decided to shift the asset mix toward municipal and high-income bonds. Her friend pointed out a great investment opportunity in the newly issued, high-yield-high- income Orange County bonds and Katey instructed Dorothy to sell off a large chunk of the stock holdings in the fund and reinvest in the Orange County bonds. Dorothy spoke to Christine about this and they both agreed that the bonds were an excellent buy. Dorothy carried out Katey's instructions and Christine decided that Paul's portfolio would be better off if she sold some of the small cap stocks and bought the bonds and followed Dorothy's suit.
Christine, as a manager of a personal trust, has to balance the interests of the income beneficiaries and the remaindermen who need capital appreciation. By tilting the asset mix toward high-income bonds, Christine has violated her fiduciary duties toward Paul Roker's sons by effectively transferring some of their wealth to their mother. On the other hand, Dorothy has violated no such duty since she in charge of an advisory account. The account belongs to Katey alone and she is free to instruct Dorothy to change investments as she pleases.Finally, the Orange County bonds have already been issued and there is no misuse of any inside information so Katey cannot be accused of insider trading.

new to this site but i feel it is good
the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
