Answer:

The answer is a Portfolio consisting of about three randomly selected stocks from a different sectors.

Explanation:

  Portfolio risk is a chance that the combination of assets or units, within the investments that an individual owns, fail to meet financial objectives. Portfolio risk will decline if more stocks that are negatively correlated with other stocks are added to the portfolio, and because of the effective diversification, the portfolio's risk is likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks's standard deviation.

Option c. A current liability is a correct answer. The amount of federal income taxes withheld from an employee's gross pay is recorded as a current liability

Option b) is incorrect as the taxes are not an expense paid by the company.

Option d) is incorrect as the payable operates as a normal liability account.

The IRR rule states that firms should accept any project offering an internal rate of return in excess of the cost of capitalA.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Internal rate of return abbreviated as  IRR, is a capital budgeting technique used to evaluate the profitability of a potential project or an investment. In calculating the IRR,  the net present value of the project's cash inflows is set at zero.  Getting the actual value of the IRR is through trial and error, or specially programmed software.

IRR shows the growth rate a project or an investment is expected to generate. The higher the value, the better. As a rule, only projects whose IRR is greater than the minimum required rate of return should be accepted. The required rate of return is the same as the cost of capital for the project.
