Is this the same as to maximise NPV when I define the function?

(Contributions do not involve discounting!).I cannot imagine that Paper AFM would ask about maximising contribution.Have you watched my free lectures on multi-period capital rationing?AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
