Question: Four investment alternatives (A, B, C, and D) are under consideration. The present worth (PW) for each alternative is $187,500, $300,000, $225,000, and $262,500. The payback periods (PP) for the alternatives were 2, 3, 1, and 4 years. The risk levels (RL) associated with each alternative are quite different, with A being most risky, D being least risky, and B and C being equally risky. The weights for PW, PP, and RL have been assigned as 20, 55, and 25. The following ratings have been assigned to each alternative for each factor:
