"A new client with no other investment assets has just come into an inheritance of $500,000 of ABCD stock, a blue chip company listed on the NYSE. As the adviser to this customer, your IMMEDIATE concern should be:"
Answer:
lack of diversification in the client's account
Explanation:
As a brokerage firm, your immediate concern in this situation should be the lack of diversification in the client's account. This is an incredibly large amount of money and the client has 100% of it invested in a single stock. Seeing since it is a blue-chip company, chances of it being delisted or its price falling sharply are very low but still possible. Still having all your money in a single asset is extremely risky, and every client should be diversified in many assets in order to reduce the portfolio's overall risk.

Many managers quickly cut prices when faced with slow sales or an economic downturn. History shows, however, that cutting prices is not always the best strategy. Why is this the case?
Answer:
cutting prices reduces gross margin that may be difficult to recover
Explanation:
This is the case because cutting prices reduces gross margin that may be difficult to recover. A company's gross margin is the sales revenue they retain after paying off all of the direct costs associated with producing the various goods it sells. This happens because customers get accustomed to the low prices and tend to hesitate and not buy the company's products when they are priced higher, thus making it very difficult to recover their previous gross margin.
