23. Which of the following statements is (are) true? (NPV = net present value, IRR = internal rate of return; in both (I) and (II), the cost of capital > 0) a. If the NPVs are same for two different projects (using the same cost of capital and same initial investment), they must also have same IRR. b. If an investment ends up with an IRR < 0, then the NPV must also be less than 0.

A machine costs $10,000,has no scrap value at the end of 10 year estimated lifetime.Maintenance is $500 per year.How much can be spent on increasing the machine's productivity by 50%,if the salvage value remain same? If this is done,the annual maintenance cost would increase to $800 per year and the machine's lifetime would decrease to 8 years.The cost of capital is j1 = 10%.
