    Invest in the new project that generate a 15% rate of return

    Explanation:

    Our firm can decide to either:

    Alternative A: invest the $200,000 in bonds or other stock that generates the market interest rate of 10% = $20,000 earnings per year. Alternative B: invest the $200,000 in the new project and receive a 15% rate of return = $30,000 earnings per year.

    If the company decides to invest the $200,000 in the new project its earnings will increase by $30,000 per year, which is $10,000 more than other investments that can generate market interest rate.
