Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.


A) A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the cost of capital to find the present value (PV) , then discounting the TV to find the IRR.
B) If a project's IRR is smaller than the cost of capital, then its NPV will be positive.
C) A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.
D) If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive.
E) A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the cost of capital to find the terminal value (TV) , then discounting the TV at the cost of capital.

F) A) and B)
G) All of the above

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The IRR method can never be subject to the multiple IRR problem, while the MIRR method can be.
B) One reason some people prefer the MIRR to the regular IRR is that the MIRR is based on a generally more reasonable reinvestment rate assumption.
C) The higher the cost of capital, the shorter the discounted payback period.
D) The MIRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the crossover rate.
E) The MIRR and NPV decision criteria can never conflict.

The IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of normal Project Y, and both IRRs are greater than zero.Also, the NPV of X is greater than the NPV of Y at the cost of capital.If the two projects are mutually exclusive, Project X should definitely be selected, and the investment made, provided we have confidence in the data.Put another way, it is impossible to draw NPV profiles that would suggest not accepting Project X.

B) False

Projects S and L are both normal projects with an initial cost of $10,000, followed by a series of positive cash inflows.Project S's undiscounted net cash flows total $20,000, while L's total undiscounted flows are $30,000.At a cost of capital of 10%, the two projects have identical NPVs.Which project's NPV is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital?


A) Project L.
B) Both projects are equally sensitive to changes in the cost of capital since their NPVs are equal at all costs of capital.
C) Neither project is sensitive to changes in the discount rate, since both have NPV profiles that are horizontal.
D) The solution cannot be determined because the problem gives us no information that can be used to determine the projects' relative IRRs.
E) Project S.

Because "present value" refers to the value of cash flows that occur at different points in time, a series of present values of cash flows should not be summed to determine the value of a capital budgeting project.

Conflicts between two mutually exclusive projects occasionally occur, where the NPV method ranks one project higher but the IRR method ranks the other one first.In theory, such conflicts should be resolved in favor of the project with the higher positive NPV.

When considering two mutually exclusive projects, the firm should always select the project whose internal rate of return is the highest, provided the projects have the same initial cost.This statement is true regardless of whether the projects can be repeated or not.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that all projects being considered have normal cash flows and are equally risky.


A) If a project's IRR is equal to its cost of capital, then under all reasonable conditions, the project's IRR must be negative.
B) If a project's IRR is equal to its cost of capital, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero.
C) There is no necessary relationship between a project's IRR, its cost of capital, and its NPV.
D) When evaluating mutually exclusive projects, those projects with relatively long lives will tend to have relatively high NPVs when the cost of capital is relatively high.
E) If a project's IRR is equal to its cost of capital, then, under all reasonable conditions, the project's NPV must be negative.
