I will rate, thank you.

Part 1:

Consider projects Alpha and Beta:

Cash Flows ($)
Project C0 C1 C2 IRR (%)
Alpha 389,000 242,000 288,999 23
Beta 199,000 131,500 167,000 30

The opportunity cost of capital is 8%. Suppose you can undertake Alpha or Beta, but not both. Use the IRR rule to make the choice.

Which project did you choose?

Alpha
Beta
