So this question appeared both on Becker and Wiley with the same exact answer choices

The theory underlying the cost of capital is primarily concerned with the cost of:

A. Long-term funds and old funds.

B. Short-term funds and new funds.

C. Long-term funds and new funds.

D. Any combination of old or new, short-term or long-term funds.

however Becker says the Correct Answer is D while Wiley says it is C. Which software should I believe?

Here’s a picture to show my dilemma.

REG = 58 (02-20-13), 75 (05-01-13)
AUD = 67 (05-29-13), 79 (08-29-13)
BEC = 83 (07-31-13)
FAR = 72 (10-29-13), 69 (02-27-14), 73 (04-16-14), 81(08-13-14)

Study Materials = Becker 2013 + Wiley Online Test Bank

BEC 68,{78}

Yeah there are quite a few discrepancies between the two.

I would say go with Becker and also not to worry about it too much because I highly doubt something like that will pop up on the exam (but, don't take my word for it).

BEC (July 2013)
FAR (OCT 2013)
REG (NOV 2013)
AUD (JAN 2014)

The CPA Exam is an opponent that not even the Fellowship of the Ring would want to come across.

I have a long...long...journey ahead of me.

What other discrepancies have you come across ZSRizvi?

@Jeff

I found some a while back and just went with the Becker answers so they're not fresh in mind. But when I come across them again (as I'm in the review stage), I'll definitely let you know. The funds question posted here was the most recent one I came across.
