3

In simplifying cash flow for the purpose of estimating the rate of return, moving a uniform series of receipts to the present as a single value will yield an estimated interest rate that is lower than the actual one.

A)TRUE
B)FALSE
6

If the cumulative cash flow series changes sign three times, this means that there is one real and two imaginary interest rate values that satisfy the equivalence equation.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
7
