When can a BD give another firm's employees' gratuities?

  1. When the value does not exceed $100

  2. When the value does not exceed $50

  3. Without any limitations

  4. Only during official corporate events

The correct answer is: When the value does not exceed $100

A BD can give other firm's employees' gratuities when the value does not exceed $100 because this amount is generally considered to be of nominal value and is unlikely to influence business decisions. Options B and D provide specific limitations on when gratuities can be given, making them incorrect. Option C, without any limitations, is also incorrect as there are guidelines in place to prevent the exchange of gifts or gratuities from influencing business decisions. Therefore, A is the correct answer as it provides a reasonable limit on the value of gratuities that a BD can give without it being considered potentially unethical.
