If the projects are independent, all should be purchased, because NPV > 0 for all of the projects. If the
projects are mutually exclusive, Project UV should be purchased, because NPVUV > NPVLM > NPVAB.

Note: Students who use the projects’ IRRs to determine which project should be purchased would
choose Project S, because its IRR is 19.01 percent (Calculator solution: CF0 = -16,000, CF1 = 14,000,
CF2 = 6,000, compute IRR = 19.01%); thus, IRRS > IRRT. But, Project S should not be purchased
because its NPV is lower than Project T’s NPV; that is NPVS < NPVT.
9-19 a. Because they are independent and both projects have positive NPVs, both projects are
b. When a project has a positive NPV, we know that it is acceptable using both the NPV technique
9-20 a. Because all of the capital budgeting techniques listed in the table are based on time value of
money (TVM) concepts, they all must agree with respect to the accept/reject decision. The
