The NPV method's assumption that cash inflows are reinvested at the cost of capital is generally more reasonable than the IRR's assumption that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR.This is an important reason why the NPV method is generally preferred over the IRR method.

Patterson Co.is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data.What is the project's NPV? Note that a project's expected NPV can be negative,in which case it will be rejected. WACC: 10.00\% Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows -\ 950 \ 500 \ 400 \ 300

For a project with one initial cash outflow followed by a series of positive cash inflows,the modified IRR (MIRR)method involves compounding the cash inflows out to the end of the project's life,summing those compounded cash flows to form a terminal value (TV),and then finding the discount rate that causes the PV of the TV to equal the project's cost.

The phenomenon called "multiple internal rates of return" arises when two or more mutually exclusive projects that have different lives are compared to one another.

Project S has a pattern of high cash flows in its early life,while Project L has a longer life,with large cash flows late in its life.Neither has negative cash flows after Year 0,and at the current cost of capital,the two projects have identical NPVs.Now suppose interest rates and money costs decline.Other things held constant,this change will cause L to become preferred to S.

The NPV and IRR methods,when used to evaluate two independent and equally risky projects,will lead to different accept/reject decisions and thus capital budgets if the projects' IRRs are greater than their cost of capital.
