International Transport Company is considering building a new facility in Johannesburg.If the company goes ahead with the project, it will spend R2 million immediately (at t = 0) and another R2 million at the end of Year 1(t = 1) .It will then receive net cash flows of R1 million at the end of Years 2-5, and it expects to sell the property for R2 million at the end of Year 6.The company's required rate of return is 12 percent, and it uses the modified IRR criterion for capital budgeting decisions.Which of the following statements is most correct?
A) The project should be rejected because the modified IRR is less than the regular IRR.
B) The project should be accepted because the modified IRR is greater than the required rate of return.
C) The regular IRR is less than the required rate of return.Under this condition, the modified IRR will also be less than the regular IRR.
D) If the regular IRR is less than the required rate of return, then the modified IRR will be greater than the regular IRR.
E) Given the data in the problem, the NPV is negative.This demonstrates that the modified IRR criterion is not always a valid decision method for projects such as this one.
