At first, the Company produced static custom web sites for SMEs in the Ottawa area.
Since 2000, the Company has used specialized database technologies to create web sites that are easily self-maintained by clients.
In late 2001, the Company introduced a new, semi-automated solution that allows the Company to generate a fully functional web site including e-business and other web applications for clients, and allow the client, OAC, to pay for it with a monthly payment plan.
This new technology, which truly takes advantage of the automation potential of the Internet, will lead the Company to exceptional revenue growth in both Canada and the US and higher margins, as well.

What is the impact of the decision on the project and the shareholders value?
Standards are developed based on the industry.
2. Find the one that has the highest net undiscounted cash flows, call it the "defender" and the other the "challenger."
5. If the IRR of the incremental cash flows is greater than the (hurdle rate) WACC, keep defender and discard challenger, if IRR of incremental cash flows is less than WACC, keep challenger and discard defender.
If you want to maximize shareholder, and you were bound by constraints, you would choose that set of projects with 2 characteristics: they are within the budget constraint and have the largest aggregate NPV value.
