Which of the following have the potential to increase the net present value of a proposed investment? i. ability to immediately shut down a project should the project become unprofitable ii. ability to wait until the economy improves before making the investment iii. option to place the investment on hold until a more favorable discount rate becomes available iv. option to increase production beyond that initially projected

The following have the potential to increase the net present value of a proposed investment:

I. Ability to immediately shut down a project should the project become unprofitable.

II. Ability to wait until the economy improves before making the investment.

III. Option to place the investment on hold until a more favorable discount rate becomes available.

IV. Option to increase production beyond that initially projected.

Net present value (NPV) in rudimentary terms can be defined as the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows proposed over a duration.

NPV is used in capital and investment planning to examine the gain of a projected investment.

Thus the above given factors are thoroughly responsible or have the potential to increase the NPV of a proposed investment.
