Assume two good and exclusive investment projects, Project 1 and Project 2. Project 1 has lower IRR but is much bigger in scope (bigger initial investment, bigger cash flows and bigger NPV). It (the project offering lower IRR) is better for shareholders even though it has lower IRR because it provides bigger absolute return than Project 2. The reason is exactly the same as with ROI: maximising the rate of return percentage does not matter. What matters is the absolute amount of shareholders’ wealth added.
However, a caveat exists when this logic is applied to capital-constrained companies. The larger the company, the more the scope and opportunities for growth. And when the company is facing capital constraints, it is more likely that attractive alternatives (offering similar returns) to the project remain unselected. Furthermore, projects offering superior returns may arise in the future, which a capital-constrained company may prove unable to undertake. This suggests the need to arrive at an opportunity costbased (or best alternative) calculation for the assumed reinvestment rate for project cash flow, which will most likely be somewhere between the IRR and the discount rate.
It (the project offering lower IRR) is better for shareholders even though it has lower IRR because it provides bigger absolute return than Project 2. The reason is exactly the same as with ROI: maximising the rate of return percentage does not matter. What matters is the absolute amount of shareholders’ wealth added. In the corporate control, it is worth remembering that EVA and NPV go hand in hand as also ROI and IRR. The formers tell us the impacts to shareholders wealth and the latter tell us the rate of return.
