Suppose a firm's CFO thinks that an externality is present in a project, but that it cannot be quantified with any precision?estimates of its effect would really just be guesses. In this case, the externality should be ignored?i.e., not considered at all?because if it were considered it would make the analysis appear more precise than it really is.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Rationale: If the externality is potentially important, it should not be ignored, because then a large error might be made. At the very least, it should be discussed, and possibly the analysis should be done using several scenarios of the possible effects of the externality.
