Yes, that's true. So, the correct answer is C) NPV will increase, IRR will reduce.

Okay, let's see. If the discount rate is underestimated, that means the company's cost of capital is higher than they thought. That's gotta hurt the NPV, but the IRR? Beats me, I'm just trying to survive this exam!

Hmm, let me think about this. If the discount rate goes up, the NPV has to go down, that's a no-brainer. But the IRR? I'm a bit stumped on that one.

I think correcting the underestimation of the discount rate will increase the NPV.
