Answer:

We have been provided with the two different project as follow

Project S  Project L
       (1,000)       (1,000)
       876.89               5
           250           240
             10           380
             15       825.85

 

It is given that, The company’s WACC is 8.5%.

And we nedd to find the IRR  better project, it will be calculated As follow

 

For Project S

IRR = (1,000) + 876.89 (1+r) +250 (1+r)2 +10 (1+r)3 +15 (1+r)4

Now solving this equation by trial and error method we get

IRR =11.90%

 

For Project L

IRR = (1,000) + 5 (1+r) +240 (1+r)2 +380 (1+r)3 +825.85 (1+r)4

Now solving this equation by trial and error method we get

IRR =11.70%

 

 IRR  WACC  Who is Better
 Poject S           11.90%  8.50%  Better
 Poject L  11.70%  8.50%
