Charlie Brown is thinking about starting Wing-It Airlines to fly a commuter route in and out of a major city. Four planes are on the market that will do the job, but each has different flight, load, and operating characteristics. Charlie is unsure of the demand for his service, and feels that it may depend to some extent on the type of plane chosen. Whether the business is feasible may depend on which airplane is used in conjunction with the demand estimate assumed. Are capital budgeting techniques appropriate for analysis of this problem? If so, is the issue a stand-alone or mutually exclusive decision?
