QUESTION

The answer to which of the following questions would be most helpful in resolving the disagreement between Larisa and Karola?

A) What are the commissions and services offered by the specific brokers the two are considering?
B) Should the two confer with a colleague who has more experience in investments?
C) Will they invest the whole amount of their bonus in one investment or in several?
D) How quickly will each kind of broker execute trades?
E) Can they track the value of their investment on the Internet?

ANSWER

Answer: A
Explanation: A) In response to their competitors, many full-service brokers have reduced their charges, and many discount brokers provide financial advice. So Choice A is correct: The decision they make might not be all-or-none, but it should be made based on the costs and services provided by the specific brokers they are considering. None of the other choices are relevant to the distinction between full-service and discount brokerages but are based on general issues that would be the same whichever one they choose.
