Question

If NPV is positive for a project, then IRR for this same project will be higher than the required rate of return of this project. (Note this project has a conventional cash flow pattern - outflow in year 0, followed by inflows in the future years of the project).

True or False

Answer 1

The above statement is True

Explanation:-

Let us assume that NPV is calcualted at Required rate of return

If the NPV is positive means The NPV is grether than 0.  

At IRR = required rate of return ,NPV is Zero.

IRR< Required rate of return , NPV is negative ,.

IRR > Required rate of return , NPV is Positive

here NPV is positive that means IRR > required rate of Return

IRR for this same project will be higher than the required rate of return of this project.
