a. Will the NPV and IRR always provide the same accept / reject decision (is it possible for you to accept a project using NPV and reject it using IRR). Explain in detail (show why they will always agree or provide an example where they don’t) b. If you were comparing this project to another project and could only accept one of them, would it matter if you ranked the projects based upon their NPV or IRR? Explain in detail.
