IRR Mutually Exclusive Projects
A small entrepreneur is considering investing in two project, A and B to meet the same
business need.
Project A requires an initial investment of $10,000, and has a service life of 5 years. At the
end of the five years, project A will return the initial investment plus 10% of the investment
compounded annually (positive cash flow).
Project B also requires an initial investment of $10,000, and has a service life 5 years. From
year 1 to year 5 project B will return 9% of the initial investment (positive cash flow). In
addition in year 5, project B will also return the initial investment of $10,000 (positive cash
flow).
Which project is a better option? Assume that the entrepreneur’s MARR is 8%, and both
these projects meet the individual IRR criteria.
Solution Instructions:
