CIW 1D0-61A Exam - Topic 1 Question 52 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIW's 1D0-61A exam

Question #: 52
Topic #: 1

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?

ABecause the site uses 128-bit encryption, which is illegal for companies that are located overseas

BBecause the link contains abbreviations and is not completely readable, so Marcella is unsure of the server name

CBecause the link does not use SSL/TLS encryption and therefore the information Marcella enters would not be secure

DBecause the link uses SSL/TLS encryption, which Marcella knows is not compatible with the browser she is using

The link doesn't show HTTPS, so it's not secure.

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!

I'm leaning towards the Performance goals page. That seems like the most direct way for workers to document their performance relative to their goals.

SSL/TLS not compatible with her browser? Haha, nice try, but I'm not falling for that one. Option C is the way to go.
