The company should not pursue either plan because the NPV is positive and the IRR is greater than the company's required rate of return for both plans. O C. The company should not pursue either plan because we NPV is negative and the IRR is less thn the company's required rate of return for both plans. D. If the company has sufficient resources and the plans are not mutually exclusive, it should pursue both plans because the NPV is positive and the IRR is greater than the company's required rate of return for both plans.
