Option B: Create a surf resort and hotel open to the public, in which case he would have to invest $50 million today (EOY 0). The resort would then generate an annual free cash flow of $6.5 million in perpetuity starting EOY 1.

Assume Kelly's discount rate is 10% and that he can only invest in one of the two options. Kelly should: ________

a. Accept both options because they both have positive NPV
b. Choose Option A because it has a higher IRR

Answer:

d. Choose Option B because it has a higher NPV

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Option A:

Investment = $10 million

Present Value of cash flows = Cash flow ÷ Discounting rate

= $2 ÷  10%

= $20 million

Now

NPV = $20 - $10

= $10 million

We know that

IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero

So,  2 ÷  r - 10 = 0

r = 20%

For Option B:

Investment = $50 million

Present Value of cash flows = $6.5 ÷  10% = $65 million

NPV = $65 - $50 = $15 million

we know that

IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero

So, 6.5÷ r -50 = 0

r = 13%

Based on NPV, Option B should be selected as it contains higher NPV as compared to option A.

However, Based on IRR, Option A should be chosen as it contains higher IRR and a higher IRR represent a higher profit percentage
