Consider two investment projects, which both require an upfront investment of $9 million, and both of which pay a constant positive amount each year for the next 9
years. Under what conditions can you rank these projects by comparing their IRRS?
(Select the best choice below.)
O A. There are no conditions under which you can use the IRR to rank projects.
O B. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not decrease from year to year.
O C. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not increase from year to year.
O D. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects have the same risk.
A company that manufactures magnetic flow meters expects to undertake a project that will have the cash flows below. At an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of the project? Find the AW value using (a) tabulated factors, (b) calculator functions, and (c) a spreadsheet.
