if the internal rate of return on an investment is positive, then the investment's net present value must be postive. True or false and why?
This statement is False.
If the IRR is positivebut less than cost of capital, then the NPV
is negative.
If the IRR is positive but equals to cost of capital, then the NPV
of project is ZERO.
Only IF the IRR is positive and greater than cost of capital, then
NPV is positive.
IF | Then | Capitl Budgeting decision |
NPV<0 | IRR < cost of capital | Reject the project |
NPV = 0 | IRR = cost of capital | Reject the Project |
NPV>0 | IRR> cost of capital | Accept the project |
I hope this clear your doubt.
