The Commodore Co. is trying to decide between the following two mutually exclusive projects:

Cash Flows
Year Project I Project II
0 -$18,000 -$18,000
1 $8,500 $9,000
2 $9,000 $8,400
3 $9,500 $9,400

The only requirement the company has is that any project that is accepted must produce a minimum rate of return of 11%. What should the company do and why?

Multiple Choice

  • Both projects should be accepted because they have IRRs of 22.87% and 28.45%, which exceed the 11% requirement.

  • Both projects should be accepted because they both have positive NPVs.

  • Project II should be accepted because it has an IRR of 28.45%, which is greater than Project I's IRR.

  • Both projects should be accepted because their payback periods are only about 2 years.
