Suppose a project has an initial investment of $100 million and has a 5 years life in which the CF generated per year is $25 m
The company assumes that the risk of the project requires a required rate of 13%. We need to calculate
the NPV and decide whether the project is worth investing in.

Suppose for the same project we need to find the IRR. We saw that NPV was negative for a 13% discount rate so the IRR wo
