Answer:
Multiple IRRs:
Said another way, Multiple IRRs occur when a project has more than one <em>internal rate of return.</em> The problem arises where a project has non-normal cash flow (non-conventional cash flow pattern).
Internal rate of return (IRR) is one of the most commonly used capital budgeting tools. Investors make decisions by comparing the IRR of the project under consideration with the <em>hurdle rate</em>. If the IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the project is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. When there are more than two IRRs, it is not exactly clear which IRR to compare with the hurdle rate.
Hurdle rate is the minimum required rate of return which businesses use as a benchmark to decide whether to invest in a project or not.
<em>So a typical situation which can generate negative cashflows which can in turn lead to multiple IRRs towards the end of the project is where the conditions of investment become adverse towards the end of the project.</em>
Imagine that toward the end of the lifecycle of a project, a forecasted increase external costs such as Interest Rate, influenced by government policies translates to an erosion of the bottom line generated by the business in that year.
Period 0 1 3 3 4 5
Unconventional cash flows ($)-19,000 16,000 16,000 6,000 6,000 -52,000
The series is non-conventional cash-flow pattern, which has two sign changes. This is the range in which the net present value of the non-conventional cash flow series is positive. The multiple IRR problem poses a series problem to analysts because the decision is not obvious.

Answer: The correct answer is "d. all of the above"
Explanation: In a perfectly-competitive industry a firm have no incentive to enter or exit the industry when:
- market price is equal to minimum long-run average cost.
- each firm earns a normal return.
This happens because in perfect competition companies reach a long-term equilibrium where extraordinary benefits are eliminated.

Explanation:
Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency. It is also referred to as a virtual currency or a crypto-currency. Bitcoins are held in a digital wallet and can be sent over the internet. Bitcoin transactions are authorized using a digital signature. The transactions are verified usually within minutes by a network of miners. Once verified, the transaction is permanently stored on a public ledger known as The BlockChain.
Three are the functions of money: <em>medium of exchange, store of value, </em>and <em>unit of account</em>. In order to boost its use, a few merchants have started to accept Bitcoin as a medium of exchange but it still is not considered a unit of account since most items in the real world are valued in monetary terms. Also, it is not considered a store of value because, unlike money, Bitcoin cannot be saved in bank accounts earning interest. Bitcoins must be sold (at profit) to provide the holder revenues.
While many processes remain the same between the two contract types, the primary difference is in the legal powers of the federal government. This authority gives the government unique flexibility in changing contracts to suit its needs.
