The answer is B.
"A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought."
"A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."

Answer:
The answer is: the following three should be used.
- net present value (NPV)
- traditional payback period (PB)
- the modified internal rate of return (MIRR)
Explanation:
First of all, the NPV of the four projects must be positive. Only NPV positive projects should be financed. If the NPV is negative, the project should be tossed away. This is like a golden rule in investment.
Now comes the "if" part. What does the company value more, a short payback period or a higher rate of return.
If the company values more a shorter payback period (usually high tech companies do this due to obsolescence), then they should choose the project with the shortest payback period.
If the company isn't that concerned about payback periods, then it should choose to finance the project with the highest modified rate of return. This means that the most profitable project should be financed.
Given:
280,000 for the land
110,000 for the old bldg
33,500 to tear down old bldg
47,000 to fill and level the land
1,452,000 new bldg
87,800 for lighting and paving a parking area for the new bldg.
Entries: Debit Credit
Land 470,500
Cash 470,500
(280,000 + 110,000 + 33,500 + 47,000 = 470,500)
Building 1,452,000
Cash 1,452,000
Land Improvement 87,800
Cash 87,800
Expenses incurred in preparing the land for its purpose is classified under the land account. Land does not depreciate because its useful life is unidentified.
Land improvement account is used for expenses incurred to add functionality to the land and these output has useful life and is depreciated.
