Math Problem Statement
For IRR estimation, we need to adjust the discount rate until the NPV is zero. Here’s how you can approximate:
Project A: Since the NPV is quite high at 10%, the IRR is likely significantly higher than 10%. Project B: The NPV is positive but much smaller, so the IRR is closer to 10%. To refine these, you can test different discount rates (say, 15%, 20%, etc.) to find where the NPV crosses zero.
