According to the above evaluation through the capital investment appraisal techniques on the given project, it has been evaluated that the payback period of the company is 3.13 year and the net present value of the company is position i.e. $ 8673. And the internal rate of return calculation explains about the total return of 16% which explains that the proposal is quite better and company could accept it after evaluating the WACC of the company.

The above calculations brief that the NPV of first project is $ 11,28,309 and the Second project’s NPV is $ 4,33,779 which explains that project A is better. On the other hand, internal rate of return of project B is higher that means project B is better than project A. these conflicts have arisen due to various different methods. It depends on the company to choose the best project.
