Your company has a two$-$step process for assessing projects. The first gate requires all projects to be

profitable and feasible, given your resources and expertise. The second step is a weighted scoring model,

based on a $10-$point scoring rubric. After evaluation of the financial benefit and feasibility, six projects

currently remain under consideration. Each project will be evaluated on the following criteria: ROI $(4$

points$),$ strategic fit $(3$ points$),$ resource availability $(1$ point$),$ innovation $(1$ point$),$ and ability to manage risk

$(2$ points$).$

$$ The first project has the following scores: ROI$=6,$ strategic fit$=7,$ resource availability$=4,$

innovation$=4$ and risk$=7.$

$$ The second project has the following scores: ROI$=4,$ strategic fit$=8,$ resource availability$=3,$

innovation$=3$ and risk$=9.$

$$ The third project has the following scores: ROI$=7,$ strategic fit$=8,$ resource availability$=3,$

innovation$=6$ and risk$=3.$

$$ The fourth project has the following scores: ROI$=9,$ strategic fit$=3,$ resource availability$=4,$

innovation$=8$ and risk$=2.$

$$ The fifth project has the following scores: ROI$=4$ strategic fit$=6,$ resource availability$=1,$ innovation$=7$

and risk$=5.$

$$ The sixth project has the following scores: ROI$=8,$ strategic fit$=7,$ resource availability$=3,$

innovation$=9$ and risk$=1.$
