Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Uncertainty involves possible future events to which no probability values can be assigned, while risk involves such events to which probabilities can be attached to their outcome. Thus, risk adjustments can be made to expected cash flow values and/or opportunity cost rates of discount. With uncertainty, no such adjustments can be made.
