About Lesson

– Decision only on Payback period because it does not consider time value of money.

– Decision making only on B/C ratio criteria does not hold good because it does not tell wealth generating capacity and size of the business.

– Used properly, the IRR will give the same result as the NPV for independent projects and for projects with normal cash flows.

–  Normal projects are projects with initial investment (negative cash flows) followed by a number of positive cash flows.
