There is no seperate forum for Financial Management, so i am asking here.
In capital budgeting, if different techniques show different projects to be opted, which occurs due to disparity, we resolve it and make all the techniques support the same project.
My question is what if the projects has two disparities, say it has initial investment disparity and life disparity, what should we do.
Which disparity to be solved??

go for comparing the the NPV of different projects as the ultimate goal of financial mgt is wealth maximisation....

Calculate Annualized NPV of different project. 

Annualized NPV= NPV / Annuity Factor. This will help you to compare better.

Practically IRR is most used. But again this depends on the Company, Industry Practice and other factors.

yes the same question was asked this time in ipcc exams

Dear Vinay,

In case of conflict between different methods, choose NPV approach since it is expressed in absolute terms..

 

In case of life disparity go for equated annual benefit / cost approach as suggested by Mr.Faiz.


Regards

one should go for npv tech

if two projects have different lifes then go for annualised npv
