Explanation / Answer

NPV of a project can be defined or calculated as the difference between the Present value of Future Cash inflows and Initial Investment made in the project.A project is chosen of the NPV is positive.
Since the NPV of the project is positive $1 which is positive hence it should be chosen as it represent the profitablility of the project taking all the considerations of the future aspects.
The amount one would anticipate receiving on an investment that has various known or expected rate of return While the IRR is based on actual cash flows to be earned in the future in order to equate the Initial investment.

Hence IRR is the rate when

Initial Investment=Present Value of future Cash inflows
