@FeRMioN Why not A? If we have positive NPV then we can accept the project without considering IRR because both give us same results.
Because both are giving the same result - Accept

@mjmegha I thinkIn NPV calculation, the rate at which the cash flows are reinvested are assumed at WACC which may not be the correct evaluation. Therefore NPV and IRR gives better picture when calculating the feasibility of the project. Hence B
Why is reinvestment at WACC not a correct assumption?
WACC is the opportunity cost of the company, WACC is what the shareholders expect to earn to breakeven etc
@mjmegha A is enough

What would be the number of shares issued?if Equity= $60,000Face value= $10 and Equity shares are issued at a premium of 25%.
6000 or 4800?
I guess its 6000.
Do tell the answer.
@kushalagg Yup A is enough but answer is B. I am not getting why?
@leolazer yes both are giving the same result but in case we have positive NPV we do not consider IRR so we can accept any project just by considering NPV also. then why to consider both?
@kushalagg I am confused between 6000 and 4800. Ma'am has told us that it is 4800 but some people are saying that we issue number of shares on face value not at premium...
@TONYMBA how is the quality/clarity of notes?

haven't received yet...i will receive those notes around jan 15....other puys told that clarity is good with spiral binding
@TONYMBA Okay :)
@mjmegha A is the correct answer only. Though B may have been used here considering that both give a positive decision on whether to undertake the project.
However, CFA curriculum only says that IRR is an ambiguous marker to decide on projects as it may be misleading in certain scenarios.

@mjmegha 4800 should be the answer. Your ma'am is correct. Shares can be issued at premium. Premium being ignored is when issued capital is calculated in Reporting where onle face value is used.
@kushalagg In Schweser notes, answer is B. Is it possible that Schweser notes and Curriculum have different answers for the same question?
@kushalagg Sure or it should be?

Sure

Yea it may be possible. But schweser also states to consider NPV over IRR

Let me explain this with a unrelated example.
You can go from Mumbai to Pune
A) by Bus
B) by Bus and by Car
C) by Ship

What is your answer?

The question is not about the choice between NPV and IRR - rather it is about only NPV or both NPV and IRR

Equity / Networth = BV + Share Premium (on a very basic level)
Hence 60000 = 1.25 * BV
=> BV = 48000
=> N = 48000 / 10 = 4800
