    Npv should be considered

    There is only a possible conflict when comparing two investments.

    We use NPV because the investment with the highest NPV is giving the biggest surplus.

    Comparing IRR’s will not always give the same result because it is simply comparing the interest rate that gives breakeven (i.e. an NPV of zero).

    It is as well just to be aware of this for Paper MA, but it is only in Paper FM that it actually becomes important.
