E - 5,000,000 - 1
Statement of utilising capital available and MAX NPV (B rank no.3 but missing because B & D are mutually exclusive)
D produced earlier than B, hence we give up B
Max cap available 10,000,000 NPV
Used for project:
E 5,000,000 -
D 1,900,000 1,500,000
C 2,600,000 1,350,000
A (max) 500,000 200,000
Max NPV 10,000,000 3,050,000
