Solution

The false statement is C. The profitability index cannot be easily adapted for determining the correct investment decisions when multiple resource constraints exist. This is because the profitability index does not take into account the interdependencies between projects, such as the fact that investing in one project may preclude investing in another. Therefore, it may not provide an accurate measure of the best investment decision when there are multiple resource constraints.
