The answer is false.

Mutually exclusive projects are two or more projects from which only one can be chosen. For example the choice of a factory location or choice of just one of a number of machines. As such mutually exclusive projects exist where the acceptance of one project excludes the acceptance of anotheprojects.

Where projects are mutually exclusive, it is possible for the NPV and IRR methods to suggest different rankings as to which project should be given priority.

False or it is the exact opposite. A mutually exclusive project precludes the rest or the other projects available for choice & selection. It involves foregoing other projects in favour of a particular one. Thanx for the invitation

false. it does preclude. mutually exclusive is you can take either of two projects. simple exmaple is to buy a car with petrol/gasoline engine or diesel engine. They are mutually exclusive projects. you cannot have a car with both engines diesel and petrol. It has to be either of the two.

The Answer is False... The Mutually exclusive does prevent each one the process of making the other project. This is the meaning of the mutulally exclusive projrct. Most of the case the could result because of the lack of cash that only could run only one /some of them not all .
