    Greetings Sir,

    For the example of multi capital rationing, for Year 1, Project B, there is an inflow of $2000. Why do we include it as -2000b and not as +0b, given there is no out flow for this project in Year 1 please?

    Thank you for your time and help Sir

    The constraint at time 1 is the amount of money available for investment. Investment is needed in projects A and C. Given that B gives a cash inflow it means there is more money available for investment in A and C – i.e. the net investment required is that for A and C less the amount received from B.

    I do explain this in the lectures and there is no point in using the notes without watching the lectures – the notes are simply lecture notes and it is in the lectures that I explain and expand on the notes.

    Thank you for the explanation Sir.
    I did listen to the lecture. Covering lecture notes while listening to the lectures alongside, I must have missed this part though. Apologies for it Sir.
    Thank you for your help,

    Have a good day 🙂
