Question
Consider three investment projects: A1, A2, and A3. Each project has the same service life, and the present worth of each component value (B, I, and C') is computed at 10% as follows:
(a) If all three projects are independent, which projects would be selected, based on BC(i)?
(b) If the three projects are mutually exclusive, which project would be the best alternative? Show the sequence of calculations that would be required in order to produce the correct results. Use the B/C ratio on incremental investment.
