Suppose you have three independent projects - A, B, and C. Assume that the hurdle rate is 12% for all three projects. Their NPVs and IRRs are shown in the table below. Project A GHS20,000 20% Project B GHS21,400 32% Project C GHS23,000 18% Required: Assuming the projects are mutually exclusive, choose the most economically feasible project.

Exercise - Individual - Conventional B/C A community is choosing a community wastewater treatment system from the 4 proposed systems with the information in the table. If MARR is set to 7% per year, which system should be selected? Practice - Individual Determine economic evaluation by B/C ratio and Modified B/C ratio for the highway expansion project with the following information: Initial costs of expansion = $1,500,000 Annual costs for operating/maintenance = $65,000 Annual savings and benefits to travelers = $225,000 Scrap value after useful life = $300,000 Useful life of investment 30 years Interest rate 8% What does it mean if you have different verdict between conventional and modified B/C? (i.e., you reject the project by conventional B/C but, accept the project by modified B/C) And if you were the one who make a decision Which B/C you should use? And Why?
