    this project should be rejected since the IRR is negative (-2.07%) and it is obviously less than the required rate of return

    Explanation:

    using an excel spreadsheet an the IRR function, we can calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) to be - 2.07

    besides the fact that no one should accept a project with a negative IRR, the comparison test tells us to decide compare the project's IRR with the required rate of return:

    required rate of return (15.5%) > project's IRR (-2.07%)

    we do not even need to calculate NPV since a negative IRR will always result in a negative NPV
