If the weighted average cost of capital $($WACC$)$ for each project is $10\%,$ do the NPV and IRR methods agree or conflict?

The methods agree.

The methods conflict.

When there is a conflict, a key to resolving this it is the assumed reinvestment rate. The NPV calculation implicitly, assumes that intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the $,$ and the IRR calculation assumes that the rate at which cash flows can be reinvested is the

As a result, when evaluating mutually exclusive projects, the is usually the better decision criterion.

If mutually exclusive projects with normal cash flows are being analyzed, the net present value $($NPV$)$ and internal rate of return $($IRR$)$ methods always agree.

Projects $Y$ and $Z$ are mutually exclusive projects. Their cash flows and NPV profiles are shown as follows.
