C. I have two recommendation here, which is explained below in a) & b)
a) If a company having Cash Capital of $ 40 million and wan't to invest in most profitable projects, I would recommend to Invest in the Both Project,
Because, Both the project having Positive NPV as well Positive Profitability Index. Normally Positive NPV & Profitability index is greater than 1 is a good sign about Project.
b) If a company want to invest in only one alternative out of above 2, so i would recommend alternative 2 to go for investment, because NPV is more trusted source than the profitability index in the case of Multiple alternatives.
