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?
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.
