Dupont Chemicals is considering Projects S and L whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates the NPV. if the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how much, if any, the value will be forgone, ie, what's the chosen NPV versus the maximum possible NPV? Note that (1) "true value" is measured by NPV, and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs. NPV will have no effect on the value gained or lost. WACC 7.50%

ND Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates other methods. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the Profitability index? Discuss your results of these methods and make a recommendation on the projects to the CEO about which one to go for and why?
Sexton Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much value will be forgone? Note that under certain conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will not cause any value to be lost because the one with the higher IRR will also have the higher NPV, so no value will be lost if the IRR method is used.
