The net asset value per unit (NAVPU) of a mutual fund is calculated by dividing the net asset value (NAV) of the fund by the number of outstanding units. The NAV is the difference between the total assets and total liabilities of the fund. Current assets and current liabilities are not relevant for the NAVPU calculation. Therefore, Great Lengths Equity Fund’s NAVPU is ($135 million - $10 million) / 11 million = $11.36.

Lydia can make an in-kind contribution of her mutual fund units to her RRSP, as long as the fund is eligible for RRSPs. The value of her contribution will be based on the fair market value of the units at the time of the transfer, which is $10,600. However, she will also trigger a deemed disposition of the units and realize a capital gain of $6,100 ($10,600 - $4,500), which is taxable in the year of the transfer.

The statement that is correct about Jehona’s permitted activities is option B. According to Section 13.3 of National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (NI 31-103), registered individuals must not engage in discretionary trading, meaning that they must not execute a transaction for a client’s account without the specific authorization of the client before the transaction. Therefore, if Jehona wants to execute trades for Sokol’s account, Sokol must provide his specific authorization before the trades are entered. The other statements are not correct about Jehona’s permitted activities. Option A is false because a Limited Authorization Form does not allow Jehona to process trades in the account without Sokol’s pre-approval; rather, it allows Jehona to accept instructions from a third party authorized by Sokol, such as a spouse or a lawyer. Option C is false because Sokol cannot give Jehona discretionary trading authority, as it is prohibited by NI 31-103 for mutual fund dealers and their representatives. Option D is false because appointing Jehona as his Power of Attorney does not allow Jehona to execute trades without Sokol’s pre-approval; rather, it allows Jehona to act on behalf of Sokol in legal and financial matters, subject to certain conditions and limitations.
