Answer to Question 1

A firm must form expectations of future expected profits (per unit of capital). This implies that they must also form expectations of future output which are correlated with future profit. They must also form expectations of future interest rates to calculate present values. And finally, they must know the current price of the project and the rate of depreciation. Once they do all of this, they calculate the discounted present value of the project and compare that with its price.
