    Project L is the better project as it has higher NPV and its IRR is 12.70%

    Explanation:

    - NPV of Project S as followed:

    -1,000 + 895.03 / (1+10.5%) + 250 / (1+10.5%) ^2 + 10 / (1+10.5%) ^3 + 5 / (1+10.5%) ^4 = $25.5

    - NPV of Project L as followed:

    -1,000 + 5 / (1+10.5%) + 260 / (1+10.5%) ^2 + 420 / (1+10.5%) ^3 + 802.5 / (1+10.5%) ^4 = $67.

    => Project L is the better Project as it has higher NPV.

    The IRR is the discount rate that puts the net present value of project's cash flows to 0 (zero).

    - IRR of Project L as followed:

    -1,000 + 5 / (1+IRR) + 260 / (1+IRR) ^2 + 420 / (1+IRR) ^3 + 802.5 / (1+IRR) ^4 = 0 IRR = 12.70%
