have IRRS that exceed the cost of capital. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT? Assume that the projects have normal cash flows, with one outflow
followed by a set of inflows.
A. If the cost of capital is greater than the crossover rate, then the IRR
and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the
projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
B. If the cost of capital is less than the crossover rate, then the IRR and
the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects.
The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
C. For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, the initial investment cost
of one project must exceed the cost of the criteria.
