I thought Fisher's rate was linked to profitability indexes, but now I'm second-guessing myself.

I feel like this might be about present values, but I can't recall the exact definition.

I remember practicing a question about net present values and how they can be equal at a certain discount rate. Maybe that's what this is about?

I think Fisher's rate of intersection relates to IRRs, but I'm not completely sure if that's the right term.

The wording of this question is a bit tricky. I'm not 100% sure if it's asking about present values, NPVs, IRRs, or profitability indexes. I'll need to read it over a few times to make sure I understand what they're looking for.

Okay, let me see... Fisher's rate of intersection is the discount rate at which two projects have the same present value, right? I think I've got this, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Fisher's rate has to do with comparing projects, but I can't quite recall the exact definition. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems straightforward - I think the answer is to add a Cache-Control entry with value private to the metadata of the object I don't want cached anymore.

This question is tricky, but I think I can figure it out. The key is understanding how Simplified Disaster Recovery works with the deduplication storage folder.

Easy, it's C) IRRs. I remember learning about Fisher's rate of intersection being the discount rate where two projects have the same internal rate of return.
