2 You are required to select the projects from the list of projects in your group considering the following
a. Objective is to maximize the total NPV/ Benefit Cost ratio (objective function selection instructions in the sheet 'inf
b. Total project budget available is X
c. Annual O&M budget is 0.1X
3 For the projects selected in Q3, calculate the probability of each of the project yielding negative NPV if the discount
mean discount rate equals value used in Q2
standard deviation see instructions in sheet info
discount rate follows a normal distribution
4 What is the probability that the total investment will yield a negative NPV for the projects you selected in Q3?
