Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option B) If the alternative proposals involve different amounts of investment, it is useful to prepare a relative ranking of the proposals by using a present value index.

Explanation:

Present Value Index is a used to measure the feasibility and efficiency of investment options.  It is the ratio of the Net Present Value of a project to the initial option required for it.

When several alternative investment proposals of the same amount are being considered, the one with the largest net present value is the most desirable.

However, If the alternative proposals involve different amounts of investment, it is useful to prepare a relative ranking of the proposals by using a present value Index.
