Provide an example to illustrate the decisionmaking process using the rule.
Consider a $2 million project with a cost of $1 million versus acquiring a $18,325,000 property at $15 million (NPV of $3,325,000). Assuming the necessary funds are available, the $18,325,000 property would be the preferred choice due to its higher NPV ($3,325,000) compared to the $1 million NPV of the $2 million project.
