The above capital budgeting evaluation over the investment proposal of the company explains that this investment opportunity must be accepted by the company as the entire investment amount would be got back by the company in 3.28 years and the project would offer positive return to the company. On the other hand, the internal rate of return of the company is 16% which is way higher than the cost of capital.

According to the above evaluation, in case of NPV, project A is better and in case of IRR, project B is better. These differences have occurred due to different methods and techniques. In case of profit, the project A is better but in case of cost, company should go for project B. The decision depends on the company (Marginson, 2009).
