when the cost of capital is less than a project's IRR, the NPV for the project is
Added by Janet S.
Step 1
- **Internal Rate of Return (IRR)**: The discount rate that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. - **Net Present Value (NPV)**: The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value Show more…

the npv method: assumption that cash flow are invested at the cost of capital is generally more reasonable than the IRR's assumption that cash flow are reinvested as to IRR. this is an important reason why the npv method is generally preferred over the IRR method
Farruh T.
Which of the following net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) statements is correct? a. If a project's IRR is equal to the discount rate, the project's NPV must be greater than zero b. A project's NPV will always be greater than zero if the project's IRR is greater than zero c. An investment should be accepted if the NPV is positive d. An investment with greater cash inflows than cash outflows, regardless of when the cash flows occur, will always have a positive NPV

Figure 20.8 illustrates the calculation of the net present value and the investment value of the project. Do both values indicate the same investment decision
