? 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 its possible effects.
