      Question

      A power company appraises a 25-year hydro project with

      IRR of 12% and a payback of 8 years. However, the risk-adjusted discount rate is 15%. Should the project be accepted?
      A Yes, since IRR > 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B No, since IRR < discount rate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Yes, due to long payback Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D No, because NPV is negative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The IRR must exceed the risk-adjusted discount rate for a project to be viable. Since IRR (12%) is less than 15%, the project would yield a negative NPV.
