Disadvantages:
With the IRR method, the disadvantage is that, at times, it can give you conflicting answers when compared to NPV for mutually exclusive project.

Widely used approach for evaluating an investment project. Under the net present value method, the present value (PV) of all cash inflows from the project is compared against the initial investment (I). The net-present-valuewhich is the difference between the present value and the initial investment (i.e., NPV = PV - I ), determines whether the project is an acceptable investment. To compute the present value of cash inflows, a rate called the cost-of-capitalis used for discounting. Under the method, if the net present value is positive (NPV > 0 or PV > I ), the project should be accepted.

because the maximazation is a Behavior that attempts to maximize such performance measures as revenue, profits, contribution margin, or expected net present value
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.

by using the basic net present value
You use the NPV function. Start by specifying the rate and follow it with a list of future values that you want to help determine your result. So you could have something like this:=NPV(5%,10,20)
the net present value as determined by normal discount rate is 10%
No, when the rate of return decreases, the net present value typically decreases as well. This is because a lower rate of return means that future cash flows are worth less in present value terms, leading to a lower net present value.

Net Present Value (NPV) means the difference between the present value of the future cash flows from an investment and the amount of investment.Present value of the expected cash flows is computed by discounting them at the required rate of return. For example, an investment of $1,000 today at 10 percent will yield $1,100 at the end of the year; therefore, the present value of $1,100 at the desired rate of return (10 percent) is $1,000. The amount of investment ($1,000 in this example) is deducted from this figure to arrive at net present value which here is zero ($1,000-$1,000).A zero net present value means the project repays original investment plus the required rate of return. A positive net present value means a better return, and a negative net present value means a worse return.
The most common use of the acronym NPV is to refer to net present value. Net present value is the sum of the present values of individual cash flows of the same entity.
