Mr. Clops is tempted to take B, which has the higher IRR.
Show him how to adapt the IRR rule to choose the best project
Multiple Choice
WIn this case project B has a higher IRR than project A. However, project B is half the size of project A. Mr. Clops can compute the incremental IRR (IIRR). Mr. Clops should take project A when the discount rate is less thant the IIRR= 7%
WIn this case project B has a higher IRR than project A. However, project B is half the size of project A. Mr. Clops can compute the incremental IRR (IIRR). Mr. Clops should take project A when the discount rate is less thant the IIRR= 25.4%
