Question
3. X transfers a publicly traded marketable
equity security to Y with a date-of transfer
price equal to $25. For each of the following
transfer provisions [considered
independently],
identify the affected
condition (#1, 2 or 3) for sale accounting and
whether the provision prevents sale
accounting for the transfer.
A) A legal letter included a "would" opinion
stating that the security would be beyond the
reach of the powers of a bankruptcy trustee
of X. Thus, the transferred asset is isolated
from X.
B) Y may sell the security to a third party. In
the event when X exercise a call option to
buy back the security, Y may purchase the
same security from the open market as a
replacement.
C) X writes a put to Y, having an exercise price
of $29 (Giving Y the right to sell at $29). The
asset price is unlikely to rise beyond $28.
