Financial Analysis:(25 points)
a. Which NPV of those shown in Exhibit 5 should be used? Why?

a. Use a scoring model to evaluate and select projects (pp. 45-47, Kloppenborg):
i. List and define potential criteria
ii. List and define those criteria that are mandatory (i.e., screening) criteria
iii. Weight the remaining criteria using an AHP process
b. Which projects were screened from further consideration in part 2a, ii?
c. Rank order the remaining projects based on the group analysis.
3. Were the results different between the financial analysis (Question 1) and the weighted scoring model (Question 2) approach? If yes, why? (5 points)
