$50000
$10000

$40000
$30000
3

$40000
If Denver's cost of capital is 15 percent, which project should be chosen? A. Project X, since it has the higher IRR. B. Neither project. C. Project Y, since it has the higher IRR.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】
NPV for Project X=-100000+50000/(1.15)1+40000/(1.15)2+30000/(1.15)3+10000/(1.15)4=-833
NPV for Project Y=-100000+10000/(1.15)1+30000/(1.15)2+40000/(1.15)3+60000/(1.15)4=-8014
Reject both projects because neither has a positive NPV.
