Why is npv better than irr?
NPV measures the return a project generates against the costs borne to generate them, while also considering Time Value of Money. Whereas IRR measures returns alone and is hence seen as a myopic metric. NPV will be positive only when the IRR>WACC (i.e. the returns are more than the costs). The concept of IRR being greater than WACC is also called 'Positive EVA'. Needless to say, a project must be selected when NPV > 0! When choosing between projects, the spread between IRR & WACC will determine the financial feasibility ...the higher the better.

When Projects are mutually exclusive which project should be selected using npv and risk level?
Problems with project ranking: 1. Mutually exclusive projects of unequal size (the size disparity problem) - the NPVdecision may not agree with the IRR or PI. Solution: select the project with the larges NPV (not IRR). 2. The time disparity problem with mutually exclusive projects - NPV and PI assume cash flows are reinvested at the required rate of return for the project. IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. NPV decision may not agree with the IRR. Solution: select the project with the largest NPV. A good method to evaluate and rank project better is to use the Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) method. This is like calculating for PMT when doing TVM. It simply means, you will be getting that amount as an inflow each year or period. Therefore, you would want to choose the highest figure.
Why is the NPV approach often regarded to be superior to the IRR method?
Why is the NPV approach often regarded to be superior to the IRR method?
IRR VS NPV?
IRR: Internal rate return NPV: Net present value Both are measure of the viability of a project(s) You can have multiple IRR (because of discontinued cash flows) but you always have one NPV.

The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the?
The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the: A. real rate of return B. IRR C. cost of capital D. NPV
What are the disadvantages of IRR method?
In the IRR method, the intermediate cash inflows are assumed to be consumed and so are not reinvested. The unmodified IRR method, as compared with the NPV method, will not show the superiority of any two mutually exclusive investments with two different initial outlays. In such a case, an investment with lower IRR could have a higher NPV and therefore should be chosen by an investor. In some cases where there are streams of positive and negative cash flows in an investment, the IRR method may yield more than one IRR. This is not a disadvantage if the calculations are performed correctly.
How do you make capital budgeting?
by considering npv analysis , irr and pay back period
For the NPV criteria a project is acceptable if the NPV is while for the profitability index a project is acceptable if the profitability index is?
less than zero, greater than the requred return
What are TWO formula most directly associated with Budgets and cash flow forecasts?
irr and npv
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the projects IRR then the project has a NPV negative?
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the Project's IRR, then the project has a(n)
How does the reinvestment rate assumption affect the NPV versus IRR conflict?
Apparently the NPV and IRR are methods to obtain capital budgets. The reinvestment rate assumption affects both methods because it is what determines now much incoming cash flow is reinvested into project.
