PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTO TO ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTIONS
Under what conditions might you find more thanone IRR for a project? How would you decidewhether or not to accept the project? If you werecomparing two mutually exclusive projects, onewith a single IRR of 12% and the other with two different IRRs of 10% and 15%, how should youchoose between the projects?

- Which of the following statements are correct in the context of Annual Worth Value Calculations? Note: This is a Multiple Answers question so please select all of the options you believe are correct. O If the period of need is greater or equal to the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the lives of all of the alternatives, then we simply need to compare the Annual Worth (AW) of each alternative over one life cycle to determine the best project. O If each project alternative is allowed to complete its full life, we can assume that the AW for the full life cycle will be exactly the same for each additional full life cycle. O You must use an incremental project justification approach when comparing two or more Mutually Exclusive Projects when using Annual Worth (AW) project values.
