Answer:
a. continue with the project provided that the additional solar electricity is worth more than $10 million.
Explanation:
It is provided that after cost overruns of the project is $10 million, which can never be recovered, thus, it is a kind of sunk cost.
Sunk cost is the cost which is made previously, and now in no manner will affect the decision, as cannot be recovered.
Therefore, such cost is ignored.
Further provided additional cost will be $12 million, therefore, now the society shall make a rational choice whether to continue the project providing solar electricity of $10 million, as in case of amount of solar energy is $32 million or $22 million, then the choice is obvious to accept,
Rational choice will be for solar electricity worth $10 million.
Therefore, correct statement is
a. continue with the project provided that the additional solar electricity is worth more than $10 million.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Labor (Variable input) hired = 151 units
After hiring this much units of labor, a firm incurred:
Marginal cost of hiring (MFC) = $0.30 and marginal product of labor (MRP) = $0.33
The firm continuing hiring new labor until the point at which marginal cost of hiring labor is equal to the marginal product of labor.
In this case, MFC is less than the MRP, so firm should increase the use of labor till the MFC becomes equal to the MRP.

Explanation:
Jones incurs $1.2 million in cost and estimates that during year 3 an additional $1.1 million will be necessary to complete the project
additional costs for year 3 over the estimated costs represent an additional loss}
Answer:
a) If manager weighs factors equally, the composite factor rating scores will be A = 5.6, B = 6.3, and C = 6.3 approximately. B and C are equal and better than A in terms of highest average score.
b) When double weights are assigned to business services and construction costs, the composite factor rating scores will be A = 5.9, B = 6.1, and C = 6.0 approximately. B is the best in terms of highest average score.
Explanation:
Composite Factor Rating scores are obtained by obtaining the mean or average of the scores under each location in order to give data points that can be used for making decisions.
The assignment of weights will differentiate the factors and change the decision outcome.
An excel copy is attached showing the derivations for a and b.
