If the IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of mutually exclusive (and also normal) Project Y, we can conclude that the firm should always select X rather than Y if X has NPV > 0.

You are on the staff of Camden Inc. The CFO believes project acceptance should be based on the NPV, but Steve Camden, the president, insists that no project should be accepted unless its IRR exceeds the project's risk-adjusted WACC. Now you must make a recommendation on a project that has a cost of $15,000 and two cash flows: $110,000 at the end of Year 1 and -$100,000 at the end of Year 2. The president and the CFO both agree that the appropriate WACC for this project is 10%. At 10%, the NPV is $2,355.37, but you find two IRRs, one at 6.33% and one at 527%, and a MIRR of 11.32%. Which of the following statements best describes your optimal recommendation, i.e., the analysis and recommendation that is best for the company and least likely to get you in trouble with either the CFO or the president?


A) You should recommend that the project be rejected because its NPV is negative and its IRR is less than the WACC.
B) You should recommend that the project be rejected because, although its NPV is positive, it has an IRR that is less than the WACC.
C) You should recommend that the project be accepted because (1) its NPV is positive and (2) although it has two IRRs, in this case it would be better to focus on the MIRR, which exceeds the WACC. You should explain this to the president and tell him that the firm's value will increase if the project is accepted.
D) You should recommend that the project be rejected. Although its NPV is positive it has two IRRs, one of which is less than the WACC, which indicates that the firm's value will decline if the project is accepted.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The MIRR and NPV decision criteria can never conflict.
B) The IRR method can never be subject to the multiple IRR problem, while the MIRR method can be.
C) One reason some people prefer the MIRR to the regular IRR is that the MIRR is based on a generally more reasonable reinvestment rate assumption.
D) The higher the WACC, the shorter the discounted payback period.
E) The MIRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the crossover rate.

F) A) and B)
G) C) and E)
