Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%.If it possible for conflicts to exist between the NPV and the IRR when independent projects are being evaluated? Explain your answer.
A firm will choose betwen two mutually exclusive projects. Project A costs $15,000 and pays out $25,000 in one year. Project B costs $30,000 and pays out $43,000 in one year. Project A's IRR equals 67% and its NPV = $8,585. Project B's IRR = 43% and its NPV = $10,566. Which project should the firm pick?

Hello.i have the solution you send me but i am trying to understand where did you get the calculations for in the worknotes tabel. I still cant calculate the IRR.i really dont understand how to do it. Can you help me please by using the numbers in the tabel so i can understand what is that you are adding or taking away please? I know how to calculate the NPV but not the IRR
