Calculator solution: CF0 = -16,000, CF1 = 14,000, CF2 = 6,000, I = 16; compute NPV = 527.94
9-19 a. Because they are independent and both projects have positive NPVs, both projects are
acceptable.
b. When a project has a positive NPV, we know that it is acceptable using both the NPV technique
and the IRR technique. Thus, IRR > r for both projects, which means that we can conclude the
firm’s required rate of return, r, is less than 15.5 percent (the lower IRR).
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
projects Albert and Kenny evaluated are acceptable, and therefore should be purchased. As a
result, for both projects, the following must exist:
