Project Alpha has an internal rate of return (IRR) of 15 percent. Project Beta has an IRR of 14 percent. Both projects have a required return of 12 percent. Which of the following statements is MOST correct? Question content area bottom Part 1 A. If the required return were less than 12 percent, Project Beta would have a higher IRR than Project Alpha. B. Project Alpha must have a higher NPV than Project Beta. C. Project Beta has a higher profitability index than Project Alpha. D. Both projects have a positive net present value (NPV).

Step 1
The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project equal to zero. If the IRR is greater than the required return, the project has a positive NPV. Show more…

Which of the following statements is true if the NPV of a project is $-$ 4,000 dollar (negative 4,000 dollar ) and the required rate of return is 5 percent? a. The project's IRR is less than 5 percent. b. The required rate of return is lower than the IRR. c. The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. d. The NPV would be positive if the IRR was equal to 5 percent.

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: The required return is 15 percent for both projects. Which one of the following statements related to these projects is correct? Answer a. Because both the IRR and the PI imply accepting Project B, that project should be accepted. b. The profitability rule implies accepting Project A. c. The IRR decision rule should be used as the basis for selecting the project in this situation. d. Only NPV implies accepting Project A. e. NPV, IRR, and PI all imply accepting Project A.

Suppose you have three independent projects - A, B, and C. Assume that the hurdle rate is 12% for all three projects. Their NPVs and IRRs are shown in the table below. Project A GHS20,000 20% Project B GHS21,400 32% Project C GHS23,000 18% Required: Assuming the projects are mutually exclusive, choose the most economically feasible project.
