B. What are the implications of these calculations? In other words, based on each of the calculations, and being mindful of the need to balance portfolio risk with return, would you recommend that the company  pursue the investment?  Why or why not? Be sure to substantiate your claims. The respective project has a positive net present value (NPV) for the company. This implies that the project is feasible for the company, and thus it should be accepted by the organization. Additionally, in terms of decision-making using IRR, if we check the IRR for this company, its IRR is 17.4%, which is lower than the 20% cost of capital for the firm hence on IRR basis also we can say that this project is not viable for the company because IRR is lower than cost of capital therefore company should not invest in this project. C. What is the  difference  between NPV and IRR? Which one would you choose for evaluating a potential investment and why? Be sure to support your reasoning with evidence. NPV (Net Present Value) is the difference between present value of cash inflow and outflow over a period of time at a discount rate. It helps in determining whether a project or other investments will be profitable or not. IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the interest rate at which the present value of cash inflow and outflow equals zero. Any discount rate or WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) lower than this would result in positive NPV while higher than this would lead to negative NPV.I think it may vary depending on the circumstances around choosing an investment to establish its profitability. In case, however, where investing in such projects could cause damage to their business and if the company had a negative NPV with a positive IRR then it could work towards getting as close as possible to that Zero figure. However, if both the NPV
and IRR are positive, especially if the discount rate is less than the IRR, then it means that such a project can be accepted.
