Ali is a Planning engineer considered the following three mutually exclusive investment projects (A, B, and C) at PTUK. He summarized the relevant data provided for these projects as; for project A, the initial investment is -200 , annual return is 22 and the salvage value is 200. For project B, the initial investment is -4000, salvage value is 2600 and the annual return is 620. For project C, the initial investment is -5450, annual retum is 740 and salvage value is 4300. The useful life for these projects is similar which is 5 years, and MARR=10% .
Which alternatives are feasible based on their ROR.
