calculate and interpret the results using each of the following methods to evaluate a single capital project: net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period, discounted payback period, average accounting rate of return (AAR), and profitability index (PI);

explain the NPV profile, compare and contrast the NPV and IRR methods when evaluating independent and mutually exclusive projects, and describe the problems that can arise when using an IRR

The reinvestment rate assumption using the IRR method is the internal rate of return on a particular capital project. The reinvestment rate assumption for the NPV method is the cost of capital for the firm, which is a more appropriate reinvestment rate assumption.
