#38 When evaluating the viability of a project, the test of economic efficiency requires that:
| a. | NPV is greater than or equal to 1 and BCR is greater than or equal to 0. |
Solution
b.NPV is greater than or equal to 0 and BCR is greater than or equal to 1.
for a project to be accepted using NPV , its NPV should be atleast zero or greater than zero.
for a project to be accepted using BCR, its BCR should be atleat one or greater than one.
NPV= present value of cash inflows - present value of cash outflows.
BCR (benefit cost ratio) = present value of cash inflows / present value of cash outflows.
