Answer:
Comment for statement A - The firm must still compare the IRR with the opportunity cost of capital when using the IRR rule. Therefore, even with the IRR method, the appropriate discount rate must still be specified.
Comment for statement B - There should be a higher discount rate on risky cash flows than the rate used to discount less risky cash flows.
Making use of the payback rule is equivalent to using the NPV rule with a zero discount rate for cash flows before the payback period and an infinite discount rate for cash flows thereafter.
Explanation:
a)
“I like the IRR rule. I can use it to rank projects without having to specify a discount rate”
The firm must still compare the IRR with the opportunity cost of capital when using the IRR rule. Therefore, even with the IRR method, the appropriate discount rate must still be specified.
b.
“I like the payback rule. As long as the minimum payback period is short, the rule makes sure that the company takes no borderline projects. That reduces risk”
There should be a higher discount rate on risky cash flows than the rate used to discount less risky cash flows.
Making use of the payback rule is equivalent to using the NPV rule with a zero discount rate for cash flows before the payback period and an infinite discount rate for cash flows thereafter.
Wait a sec. Is the multiple choice

Data encryption
Firewall
Because if its that, I think it might be the first one because, I think firewall blocks websites and encryption protects the actual computer. Antivirus can notify her if something it up with the emails right away.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.
For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:
= 8 - 4 = 4%
If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:
= 8 - 2 = 6%
Real rate would be higher than anticipated.
