CHAPTER 25 Capital Investment Analysis
CP 25–1 (FIN MAN); CP 10–1 (MAN)
The plant manager wants a project to become accepted and places pressure on the
analyst to come up with the “right numbers.” Jerrod is right when he states that the net
present value analysis has many assumptions and room for interpretation. Many use

(hurdle) rate. In fact, some analysts state that they start with the hurdle rate and work
back into the numbers. Clearly, this is not what should be expected of Danielle.
