D sounds familiar, but I thought depreciation was specifically about the loss in value of equipment, which makes me lean towards B again.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like A doesn't really fit because it's not just for heavy equipment.

I'm stuck between B and D on this one. I'll have to review my notes to see the difference between depreciation and amortization.

Okay, I've got this. I just need to find the present value factor based on the discount rate and time period, then multiply that by the total future payments. Shouldn't be too bad.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the phrasing of the question. What exactly do they mean by "minimum number of test cases"? Is that the absolute minimum, or just a reasonable minimum?

I'm a bit unsure, but I feel like strengthening information security in a company is also a user responsibility. So, maybe option D?
