The assignment discusses two mutually exclusive projects, Project A and Project B, and uses three investment appraisal techniques: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) to analyze them. The results show that both projects have positive NPVs, but Project A has a higher NPV, IRR, and ARR than Project B. Therefore, it is advisable for the management to invest in Project A. However, the assignment also highlights the limitations of these techniques, including inaccurate estimation of future cash flows, uncertainty about machine duration, contradictory results, and ignoring unexpected events.

Analyze two mutually exclusive projects using NPV, IRR, and ARR investment appraisal techniques to determine which project is more profitable.
