Answer:
The investment advisory firm which employs the investment adviser representative (IAR).
Explanation:
FINRA's rules specifically state that before any transaction, the IAR must have a signed power of attorney. The IAR cannot start trading or operating with the client's money until he/she has received a signed written power of attorney from the client. Only after the signed power of attorney has been given tot eh IAR, can he/she act on discretionary basis.
If the IAR is not a registered broker-dealer, then NASAA rules state that oral agreements are valid for up to 10 business days, but the IAR must have a written authorization after that time expires. I.e. the IAR could buy the stocks, but he/she was not authorized to sell them. So any loss is responsibility of the firm that employs the IAR.

Answer:
Project L is the better project as it has higher NPV and its IRR is 12.70%
Explanation:
- NPV of Project S as followed:
-1,000 + 895.03/(1+10.5%) + 250/(1+10.5%)^2 + 10/(1+10.5%)^3 + 5/(1+10.5%)^4 = $25.5
- NPV of Project L as followed:
-1,000 + 5/(1+10.5%) + 260/(1+10.5%)^2 + 420/(1+10.5%)^3 + 802.5/(1+10.5%)^4 = $67.
<u>=> Project L is the better Project as it has higher NPV.</u>
The IRR is the discount rate that puts the net present value of project's cash flows to 0 (zero).
- IRR of Project L as followed:
-1,000 + 5/(1+IRR) + 260/(1+IRR)^2 + 420/(1+IRR)^3 + 802.5/(1+IRR)^4 = 0 <=> IRR = 12.70%
