Chapter 8 | Question 8: Please answer the questions below (see image and empty boxes in the images)! Thank you! Yes, I know it's a lot, but if you can answer it all correctly I will DEFINITELY give a good review. Please see both parts. Each empty box is meant for a response/answer to be inputted.

Orchid Biotech Company is evaluating several different development projects for experimental drugs. Although the cash flows are difficult to forecast, the company has come up with the following estimates of the initial capital requirements and

NPVs

for the projects:

LOADING...

. Given a wide variety of staffing needs, the company has also estimated the number of research scientists required for each development project (all cost values are given in millions of dollars).

a. Suppose that Orchid has a total capital budget of

$60

million. How should it prioritize these projects?

b. Suppose that Orchid currently has

12

research scientists and does not anticipate being able to hire more in the near future. How should Orchid prioritize these projects?
