Part 4
b. What should
Fabulous FabricatorsFabulous Fabricators
do? (Select the best choice below.)
A.
It should take the two projects with the highest profitability indexes: C and A.
B.
Since the NPV of A is the largest, it should choose A.
C.
Since it has the capacity to do both B and C and
NPV Subscript Upper B Baseline plus NPV Subscript Upper CNPVB+NPVC
is greater than
NPV Subscript Upper ANPVA,
it should do both B and C.
D.
Since the profitability index for C is the largest, it should choose C.
The profitability index for contract A is(Round to two decimal places.)The profitability index for contract B is(Round to two decimal places.)The profitability index for contract C is(Round to two decimal places.))
