Using capital rationing to make capital investment decisions
Mountain Manufacturing is considering the following capital investment proposals. Mountains requirement criteria include a maximum payback period of five years and a required rate of return of 12.5%. Determine if each investment is acceptable or should be rejected (ignore qualitative factors). Rank the acceptable investments in order from most desirable to least desirable.
