These options are: Option C: Sell the patent rights outright to the company mentioned in option B Your task Your boss, SSF's CFO Savanah Harley, has asked you to evaluate the three different options and draft a memo to the Board of Directors providing recommendations on the alternatives, along with supporting analysis. Savanah has outlined the following three areas you need to cover in your memo: 1. Analyse base case figures for the three options and using NPV as the investment decision rule; 2.
