You are on the staff of Camden Inc. The CFO believes project acceptance should be based on the NPV, but Steve Camden, the president, insists that no project can be accepted unless its IRR exceeds the project’s risk-adjusted WACC. Now you must make a recommendation on a project that has a cost of $15,000 and two cash flows: $110,000 at the end of Year 1 and –$100,000 at the end of Year 2. The president and the CFO both agree that the appropriate WACC for this project is 10%. At 10%, the NPV is $2,355.37, but you find two IRRs, one at 6.33% and one at 527%, and a MIRR of 11.32%. Which of the following statements best describes your optimal recommendation—that is, the analysis and recommendation that’s best for the company and least likely to get you in trouble with either the CFO or the president?

You should recommend that the project be rejected, because although its NPV is positive its MIRR is less than the WACC, and that indicates the firm’s value will decline if it is accepted.


You should recommend that the project be accepted, because although one IRR is less than the WACC, the other IRR is greater than the WACC and its NPV is positive.


You should recommend that the project be rejected, because (1) its NPV is positive and (2) it has two IRRs, one of which is less than the WACC, which indicates that the firm’s value will decline if the project is accepted.


You should recommend that the project be accepted, because (1) its NPV is positive and (2) although it has two IRRs, in this case it would be better to focus on the MIRR, which exceeds the WACC. You should explain this to the president and tell him that the firm’s value will increase if the project is accepted.
