(b) It will always produce a recommendation consistent with present worth, future worth, and annual worth methods. (c) It can be used only to evaluate projects from the public sector (such as bridges and roadways). (d) None of the above.

Several proposed capital projects which are economically acceptable may have to be ranked due to constraints in financial resources. In ranking these projects, the least pertinent is this statement. A. A ranking procedure on the basis of quantitative criteria may be established by specifying a minimum desired rate of return, which rate is used in calculating the net present value of each project. B. In selecting the required rate of return, one may either calculate the organization’s cost of capital or use a rate generally acceptable in the industry. C. If the internal rate of return method is used in the capital rationing problem, the higher the rate, the better the project. D. If the net present value method is used, the profitability index is calculated to rank the projects. The lower the index, the better the project.
Which of the following statement is correct Select one: a. A project is accepted when profitability index will be greater than one b. All statements are correct c. A project is accepted when net present value is greater than zero d. A project is accepted when payback period is less than the other project
