Martin Rose Associates Have Included the Cost of Theft of Their

Martin Rose Associates have included the cost of theft of their intangible assets in calculating the NPV of several biometric security scanning systems for the company's research facilities. A new generation of biometrics is likely to be unveiled within 12 to 18 months that could double the benefits that the current biometric system would deliver. The company should

A) Install the security system that achieves the highest NPV immediately
B) Wait until the technology is launched and costs are established before generating a NPV analysis on biometrics and selecting a system
C) Add the anticipated benefits from the new systems to the initial expenditures in the current NPV analysis
D) Install the security system that achieves the highest NPV immediately and reserve the cost of upgrades in a contingency fund
E) Re-open the investigation into improving security for the research facilities to determine if the benefits from the future of biometrics can be achieved in another way now
