a.A ratio of the benefits of a solution to be realized compared with the cost to obtain
them. It provides a relative value of a change and can be compared with other potential
investments. -Answer- ✔Josh was assigned to build a business case for the viable
alternatives for replacing a legacy insurance application with a web-based solution. He
narrowed his list down to two viable options and has summarized the expected costs

worth investing in.
c.It is an assumed rate used in present value calculations. It projects a rate the
organization could earn compared to what it could earn on other investments.
