Multiple Choice

Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below, are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. Hooper Inc. is considering which of these two projects to undertake. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much value will be forgoneσ Note that under certain conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will not cause any value to be lost because the project with the higher IRR will also have the higher NPV, so no value will be lost if the IRR method is used.
