1)
Scenario 1
Suppose that that you have 2 small projects (and no others), each with its own cash flow. You could compute the NPV of each project separately, then add the NPVs together.

Scenario 2
Now, suppose you combine the combine the cash flows from the two small projects together into one huge project, and. You could compute the NPV of the huge project.

The value additivity corollary says that the total NPV Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 are the same. It does ...

  • "GREAT JOB!!!"
  • "Hello, thank you for your answer for my probability question. However, I think you interpreted the second and third question differently than was meant, as the assumption still stands that a person still independently ranks the n options first. The probability I am after is the probability that this independently determined ranking then is equal to one of the p fixed rankings. Similarly for the third question, where the x people choose their ranking independently, and then I want the probability that for x people this is equal to one particular ranking. I was wondering if you could help me with this. "
