An investment consortium is evaluating two mutually exclusive real estate investment opportunities: a multi-unit apartment complex, and a local shopping center. This investment group requires a 9% after-tax return on equity capital. For the apartment complex, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) analysis result in an NPV of USD7.5 million and an IRR of 11%. For the shopping center, the NPV is USD6.8 million and the IRR is 14%. If the investors require an after-tax return of 9% on either investment, which of the two investments should be undertaken? A)
| The apartment complex because it has the highest NPV. |
| B)
| The shopping center should be selected because it has the highest IRR. |
| C)
| Both investments should be undertaken because they both have positive NPVs and their IRRs exceed the required return on equity. |
|
Since the projects are mutually exclusive, only one may be selected. When ranking conflicts exist between the IRR and NPV approaches, the project with the highest NPV should be selected. |
