Which of the following statements best describes the difference between the IRR method and the MIRR method? The IRR method uses only cash inflows to calculate the IRR. The MIRR method uses both cash inflows and cash outflows to calculate the MIRR. The IRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the IRR. The MIRR method assumes that cash flows…

Connor Corporation is considering two projects (see below). For your analysis, assume these projects are mutually exclusive with a required rate of return of 10%. Project 1 Project 2 Initial investment $(465,000) $(700,000) Cash inflow Year 1 $510,000 $850,000 Compute the following for each project: NPV (net present value) PI (profitability index) IRR (internal rate of return) Based on your analysis, answer the following questions : Which is the best choice? Why? Which project should be selected and why? If the projects had the same IRR amounts but different NPV totals, then how would you know which project to select? Explain. What would happen if both projects had negative NPV totals? Which project would you choose? What do negative NPVs indicate? Explain. Should we also use the payback method to assist us in project selection? Why or why not? Explain.
