Question 1:
1. What are the NPV, PI, and IRR for projects A and B? What has caused the ranking
conflicts? Should project A or B be chosen? Assume that these projects are
not considered under a capital constraint.

- The fact that in project A the last cash flow is a rather high one explains the difference
in the internal rates of return as we can see that in project B the cash flows remain the
same at each t. The higher a cash flow is in time, the lower the PV of that cash flow
will be, which explains the lower IRR in project A.
- Project A should be chosen as we are seeking for wealth creation, and project A
creates more wealth. The PI for project A is also higher which implies a good project.
Question 2:
2. What are the NPV, PI, and IRR for projects C and D? Should project C or
D be chosen? Assume that these projects are not considered under a capital
constraint.
