Explanation / Answer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IRR Project M

Internal rate of return is the rate at which if we discount all the future cash flows, the resulting NPV will be zero, it is minimum rate of return that management seeks from the project, IRR of the asset/project must be greater than the required rate of return, otherwise it will not be feasible for the management to accept the project. Best way to calculate IRR is using Excel.

NPV Project M

NPV is the difference between present value of all cash inflow and initial cost of asset or project.

All the future cash flows are discounted using discounting rate or required rate and the sum of all the discounted cash flows will be subtracted with initial cost.

NPV = PV of future cash inflow - initial cost

Pls refer below table for NPV calculation,
