1. Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project. Be complete and thorough in your answer. 2.
