Answer:

Option C. The highest NPV is always the best option.

Explanation:

The reason is that IRR assumes that the reinvestment rate is also at IRR which is not a realistic assumption. The Net Present Value resolves this as it assumes that the reinvestment rate is cost of capital and hence is more better than IRR to appraise the project.

The decision rule in the Net present value method is that the project which has higher positive Net present value is regarded as best project among two mutually exclusive projects.

A young professional wishes to have $730000 in her retirement account. She invests $900 monthly in the account which earns 11.5%

Vikki [24]

Based on the amount that she invests monthly, the interest rate, and the targeted retirement amount, the number of payments would be 42 payments.

<h3>How many payments should the young professional make?</h3>

The number of payments will be the same as the number of months/ periods because that is the frequency of payment.

The number of payments can therefore be found by the NPER formula on a Spreadsheet:

Rate = 11.5%

Pmt = -900

PV = Empty

FV = 730,000

Number of payments is:

= 41.76

= 42 payments.
