A company is evaluating three projects, A$,$ B$,$ and C$.$ This company uses four evaluation criteria:

Operational feasibility: Fulfilling the customer requirements. Its weight in the decision is $35\%,$

Technical feasibility: Having the technical expertise to design and build this solution; and how practical the solution is from a technical perspective. Its weight in the decision is $25\%$

Schedule feasibility: The alternative can be implemented within an acceptable time period. Its weight in the decision is $20\%$

Economic feasibility: represented by the Net Present Value. Its weight in the decision is $20\%$

The company uses a $0$ to $100$ scoring system. Scores for each project$/$criteria combination are shown in the table below. Economic feasibility is a hard constraint $($if a project's budget is above the limit$,$ the project is eliminated from consideration$).$ The budget of Project B goes above the limit$.$

a$.$ Using the "Checklist Model" $($unweighted factor scoring model$),$ what project do you recommend?

b$.$ Using a "Constrained Multi$-$weighted Scoring Model" what project do you recommend? Show all your work$/$calculations$.$

c$.$ The economic feasibility was calculated using the Net Present Value. The net cash flows $($in thousand$)$ of each project are presented below. Calculate the NPV of each project. Rank the projects using only the NPV as criterion. Use a $12\%$ discount rate.
