A measure with a three-year payback is rejected although the hurdle is four years. The likely reason is

  • A.the measure's internal rate of return was above the hurdle
  • B.the capital was rationed and better measures competed for it
  • C.the payback was computed at the wrong discount rate
  • D.the saving was expressed in energy rather than money

Answer: B

Correct answer: the capital was rationed and better measures competed for it

A measure inside the hurdle is worth doing in isolation, and it can still be refused if there is not enough capital for everything that qualifies. Under rationing the projects are ranked and the budget is spent from the top, so a perfectly acceptable measure may fall below the line.
