Unit 4 Discussion

Opportunity Cost

Think of a project in your work or personal life you have or would like to do: what are the capital and opportunity costs associated with it? For example, are there sunk costs? Are there any capital costs associated with the project?

In response to your peers, can you think of other market factors or externalities that may factor into the costs?

NPV

Summarize two of the capital budgeting methods using the textbooks as well as your own research.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of them?

When assessing the value of two projects, what other criteria should be included, if any?

In response to your peers: Do you agree with the criteria? Are there any capital expenditures in your life that you go beyond NPV to judge?
