| americade | Both types of externalities are incremental and should be used to adjust cash flows. That's the last one is FALSE. |
| ascruggs92 | Negative externalities are non-incremental because they occur regardless of whether the project happens or not. However, they still need to be included in the capital budgeting decision, that's why it is false |
