a. At an 8% cost of capital, which project has a higher NPV?

b. Where on the graph would there be a conflict between the NPV and IRR methods? In other words, under what conditions would the NPV method tell you that project B is better and the IRR method tell you that project A is better?

c. What does the slope of these NPV profile curves tell us ?

.
