To explain: Whether the decisions under the NPV rule are consistent with those of the IRR rule.
Introduction:
The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate that will equate the present value of the cash inflows to the present value of the cash outflows.
The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows of a proposal.
