16. Below is an NPV profile graph with its axes title removed. Based on the information provided below, which of the following is most correct? 6 D O 120000 0 O 100000 o O 80000 3 60000 Dollars) . 40000 20 20000 0 . 1 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 -20000 (Percentages) a. using the IRR decision criteria, we should evaluate the project using a required return of 13.80% because it is the more conservative of the two IRRs. That way, if the project has a positive NPV while using this IRR we are very confident that it will be profitable. b. Using the NPV decision criteria, the project should not be undertaken because there is a potential loss from 5.79% to 13.80%. If there is a negative expected return from a project, it should not be undertaken. c. Using the IRR decision criteria, we cannot decide what the project's required return is because it has two IRR's: One at 5.79% and another at 13.80%. d. Using the Payback Rule we would not undertake the project because we do not have our pre-specified cutoff length for projects
