Calculate NPV for both projects using the same function in excel.
b) Crossover rate is the rate at which NPV of both projects are equal. From the table above, we can see that it is around 8%.
It can be calculated by computing IRR of the difference in the cash flows of both projects.
Crossover rate = 8.68%
A | B | A - B |
-200 | -200 | 0 |
20 | 140 | 120 |
120 | 100 | -20 |
160 | 40 | -120 |
c) Whenever the discount rate is less than the crossover rate, IRR and NPV gives different outcome.
In this case, IRR (A) = 18% < IRR (B) = 24%
If discount rate is 4%, NPV (A) = $72 > NPV (B) = $63
Hence, IRR suggests to pick Project B while NPV suggests to pick project A.
