Summary Introduction
To calculate: The IRR of the better project.
Introduction:
It is a method under capital budgeting which includes the calculation of net present value of the project in which a company is investing. The calculation is done by calculating the difference between the value of
It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision regarding the selection of a project for investment. This rate provides the basis for selection of projects with lower cost of capital and rejection of project with higher cost of capital.
