  • A. Most widely used
  • B. Ideal to rank the mutually exclusive investments
  • C. Easily communicated and understood

IRR should not be used as an ideal ranking method for mutually exclusive investments because it can conflict with NPV and may produce misleading rankings. It is widely used, understandable, and can be calculated without first specifying a discount rate.
