Division 2's investment seems risky with that cost of capital.

I think Division 2 has a decent ROI, but I’m not confident if it’s above 15%. I feel like I need to double-check the calculations for all divisions.

I’m a bit confused about how to determine which divisions would proceed. I remember something about only accepting investments with ROI above the cost of capital.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we had a similar question in practice where we had to evaluate multiple divisions. I feel like Division 1 might also be a contender.

I remember we discussed how to calculate ROI and compare it to the cost of capital. I think Division 3 might be the only one that meets the criteria.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll calculate the ROI for each division and see which ones exceed the 15% cost of capital. Those are the ones that should proceed with their investments to maximize the divisional managers' bonuses.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different investment opportunities and how they relate to the divisional managers' performance. I'll need to carefully review the information and make sure I understand the key factors before attempting to answer.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to consider not just the ROI, but also how the divisional managers' incentives might influence their decisions. I'll have to think carefully about the bigger picture here.

Okay, I've got this. The correct answer is clearly C - APP authentication. That's a common mobile app-based authentication method. I'm confident I can get this one right.
