Question 8.8.A company considers Project B and C, which are presented in the table below. Which of the following statements isTRUE? (Points : 1)

Because the profitability index is 1.04, the company should accept the opportunity. Because the profitability index is 1.04, the company should reject the opportunity. Because the profitability index is 0.987, the company should accept the opportunity. Because the profitability index is 0.987, the company should reject the opportunity.
