Marcella is looking for a very unique product online. She has found one on the XYZ Company's Web site, which is designed well and appears to be legitimate. As she navigates through the checkout process, she reaches the checkout page with this URL, which asks her to enter her credit card information:
http://XYZ.com/gp/checkout.html/ref=chk_out_TLS12B_lb?ie=UTF8&docId=10007931
Why should Marcella cancel her online transaction instead of proceeding?

I think the readability of the URL is important too, but I can't recall if that's enough reason to cancel the transaction.

I feel like I might be mixing up the encryption details. Wasn't there something about how to tell if a site is secure based on the URL?

This question reminds me of a practice one we did about identifying secure websites. I think option C makes the most sense since it mentions SSL/TLS encryption.

I remember we talked about SSL/TLS encryption in class, but I'm not sure if the URL indicates whether it's secure or not.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I need to focus on which transaction does NOT require an information return for interest paid.

I've got this! The key is to calculate the net cash outflow, which is the purchase price of the new machine plus the installation cost, minus the market value of the old machine. Then I need to adjust for the book value of the old machine and the increase in net working capital. Easy peasy!

128-bit encryption being illegal for overseas companies? That sounds like a made-up answer. Marcella, go with option C!
