Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The current cost method values direct investments at the cost of buying them today. The market value method is meant to measure the price at which the investments could be sold. These two methods can lead to different valuations because the cost of replacing a particular direct investment and the price it would command if sold on the market may be hard to measure.
