Assuming the projects are independent, which one or ones would you recommend?
-Select-Only Project B would be accepted because NPV(B) > NPV(A).Both projects would be accepted since both of their NPV's are positive.Only Project A would be accepted because IRR(A) > IRR(B).Both projects would be rejected since both of their NPV's are negative.Only Project A would be accepted because NPV(A) > NPV(B).Item 11
If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?
-Select-If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive IRR is chosen. Accept Project A.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive MIRR is chosen. Accept Project A.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the shortest Payback Period is chosen. Accept Project A.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive IRR is chosen. Accept Project B.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive NPV is chosen. Accept Project B.Item 12
Notice that the projects have the same cash flow timing pattern. Why is there a conflict between NPV and IRR?
-Select-The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the relatively high discount rate.The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the fact that the cash flows are in the form of an annuity.The conflict between NPV and IRR is due to the difference in the timing of the cash flows.There is no conflict between NPV and IRR.The conflict between NPV and IRR occurs due to the difference in the size of the projects.Item 13
