Final answer:

To insert an if function that checks for equality, programming languages typically use '==' for comparison, whereas applications like Excel use a single '=' within their formulas. Choose 'b. IF(issue price == current value)' for programming, and 'a. IF(issue price = current value)' for Excel-like applications.

Step-by-step explanation:

To insert an if function that determines if the issue price is equal to the current value, you would typically use a programming language that supports conditional statements. The correct syntax usually involves a single equals sign for assignment and a double equals sign for the comparison of equality. However, each programming language can have its nuances regarding syntax. For example:

  • In many programming languages, b. IF(issue price == current value) is the correct syntax for an equality comparison inside an if statement.
  • For spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, the syntax would be a. IF(issue price = current value) for an equality comparison. Excel uses a single equals sign for both assignment and comparing values within its formulas.

It is important to note that the options c. IF(issue price = = current value) and d. IF(issue price !== current value) are not standard syntax in most programming languages. The option c contains a space between the equal signs which is invalid, and d expresses a strict inequality (not equal to) rather than an equality check.

In summary, for most programming uses, choose option b, and for Excel-like applications, choose option a.
