    A company is considering which of two mutually exclusive projects it should undertake
    A company is considering which of two mutually exclusive projects it should undertake. The Finance Director thinks that the project with higher NPV should be chosen whereas the managing Director thinks that the one with higher IRR should be undertaken especially as both projects have the same initial outlay and length of life. The company anticipates a cost of capital of 10% and the net after tax cash flows of the project is as follows
    (Cash flows Figs 000)
    Project X Project y
    Cash Outflow 200 200
    Year 1 35 218
    Year2 80 10
    Year 3 90 10
    Year 4 75 4
    Year 5 20 3
    Project X is discounted by 10% and Project Y is discounted by 20%.
    a. Calculate NPV & IRR of each project
    b. State with reasons which project you would recommend
    c. Explain the inconsistency in raking the projects

    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.
