Homework Answers
I would invest in projects 1 and 2 if the projects were independent since they generate a positive net present value. Yes, my answer would change if the projects were mutually exclusive. I would invest only in project 2 if they were mutually exclusive since it has the highest net present value
Hence, the answer is option a.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
