Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: The manager knows the exact amounts of interest that the CDs will pay over each time period, so he is operating under a condition of certainty. Risk would require the manager to need to estimate the interest that the funds would generate. Uncertainty would be a condition in which the manager could not even make good estimates for each fund. Jeopardy is not a recognized decision-making condition.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: The manager can use the investment records over previous years to assign probabilities to each fund. That means he is operating under a condition of risk. Certainty would require that he would know precisely how funds would perform, while uncertainty would mean he would have no way to predict performance. Probability is not a recognized decision-making condition.
