Suppose a Firm's CFO Thinks That an Externality Is Present

question 52

True/False

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.
