    The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "e. If the 4-year payback results in accepting just the right set of projects under average economic conditions, then this payback will result in too few long-term projects when the economy is weak."

    Here are the following choices:

    a. It will accept too many short-term projects and reject too many long-term projects (as judged by the NPV).

    b. It will accept too many long-term projects and reject too many short-term projects (as judged by the NPV).

    c. The firm will accept too many projects in all economic states because a 4-year payback is too low.

    d. The firm will accept too few projects in all economic states because a 4-year payback is too high.

    e. If the 4-year payback results in accepting just the right set of projects under average economic conditions, then this payback will result in too few long-term projects when the economy is weak.
