In the previous requirement, NPV is the factor that determines the rankings. Apart from that, some other factors such as IRR and Payback time may also create a different project ranking. IRR IRR, the internal rate of return, is the discount rate at which the present value of expected cash inflows from a project equals the present value of expected cash outflows of the project. Namely, NPV equals zero at this discount rate. By virtue of the NPVs in question one, I used the trial-and-error approach

What is the NPV of this opportunity if the cost of capital is 2% per year?
