Suppose that a firm must choose between two mutually exclusive projects, both of which have negative NPVs. Explain how a firm can legitimately choose between two such projects.
What is the difference between a mutually exclusive project/investment and an independent project/investment? What is the best method or technique (NPV, IRR, Payback, Discounted Payback) to use in evaluating each type of project?
When two mutually exclusive projects are being compared, explain why the short-term project might be ranged higher under the NVP criterion if the cost of the capital is high, whereas the long-term project might be deemed better if the cost of capital is low. Would changes in the cost of capital ever cause a change in the IRR ranking of two such projects? Why or why not?
