B)   Harrow must disclose to Dominion his ownership of shares in Wonder but not his relationship with the president of Miracle.

C)   Harrow must disclose to Dominion his relationship with the president of Miracle but not his ownership of shares in Wonder.

Correct answer is A)

Standard VI(A) requires that Harrow disclose to Dominion conflicts that reasonably could be expected to interfere with his independence and objectivity. Both Harrow's relationship with the president of Miracle and his ownership of a substantial dollar amount of Wonder's shares represent a potential conflict requiring prompt disclosure to Dominion.

Q10. When an analyst makes an investment recommendation, which of the following statements must be disclosed to clients?

A)   An employee of the firm holds a directorship with the recommended company.

B)   Both of these statements must be disclosed to clients.

C)   The firm is a market maker in the stock of the recommended company.

Correct answer is B)

Both of these items are explicitly listed in the discussion of Standard VI(A), Disclosure of Conflicts.
