Rank the projects on the basis of NPV, and allocate the funds in order of this ranking in a blank requires an entry or rers, it can be left blank or answered with a Ranking Project Allocation Substance abuse wing 1 Laboratory 3 Outpatient surgery wing What project or projects were selected Outpatient surgery wing only What is the total NPV alized by the medical center using this approach? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Asume that the size of the moon which the allocated makes the stance bewing and the outpatient umerywing projects were selected? Outpatient surgery wing only What is the total NPV realized by the medical center using this approach? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Assume that the size of the lot on which the hospital is located makes the substance abuse wing and the outpatient surgery wing mutually exclusive. With unlimited capital, which of those two projects would be chosen? The laboratory and the outpatient surgery wing with limited capital and the three projects being considered, which projects would be chosen? The outpatient surgery wing and the laboratory 3.
