Your firm has acquired a bag of 29 pills of the cognitive-enhancing, nootropic drug called NZT-48. This has opened up four new potential projects for your firm that would not be possible with only your regular unenhanced employees’ feeble meatbag brains. Each project is non-repeatable and of equal time. You have calculated the
| Project Codename | NPV | Pills Requested |
| Commodus | $42,800 | 14 |
| Caligula | $70,500 | 20 |
| Nero | $24,150 | 5 |
| Elagabalus | $72,200 | 19 |
Assume that you can do partial projects whereby you can allocate less pills than the number requested by the team. This would give you a pro-rata portion of that project’s NPV (i.e. the amount of pills you allocate as a proportion of the number requested).
The maximum total NPV your firm can achieve through allocating its 29 NZT-48 pills across these four projects is $$.
