Normalization Question

Good evening to all,

Quick question. Let's say I have the following schema:

R(A,B,C,D)

with FDs:
A->B
B->C
C->D
D->A
AB->C

Question 1:
Would the candidate keys be CK{A,B,C,D,AB}

Question 2:
Would the normal form be BCNF since every determinant is a CK?

Thanks everyone!

TJ
