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

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.
