A project does not necessarily have a unique IRR.(Refer to the previous problem for more informationon IRR.) Show that a project with the following cashflows has two IRRs: year 1, 2$20; year 2, $82; year3, 2$60; year 4, $2. (Note: It can be shown that ifthe cash flow of a project changes sign only once, theproject is guaranteed to have a unique IRR.)

Which one of the following statements is correct concerning the payback rule? a. The payback period is computed using the present value of each of the cash flows. b. The rule says that you should accept a project if the payback period is greater than 1.0. c. The rule is biased in favour of long-term projects. d. The rule is flawed because it ignores all cash flows after some arbitrary point in time.
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. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. b. If a project has normal cash flows and its IRR exceeds its cost of capital, then the project's NPV must be positive. c. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at the cost of capital. d. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must have the lower NPV. e. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that cash flows are withdrawn from the business rather than being reinvested in the business.
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 NPV is generally found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the IRR to find its PV . b. The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be c. If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC . d. If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. e. The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCs

An independent capital investment project requires an initial cash outflow at time 0, followed by cash inflows for times 1 to 3. Without knowing any of the figures involved, how will this project be appraised under NPV and IRR? The project will be rejected under NPV, but will be acceptable under IRR The NPV decision will be the same as the IRR decision (i.e. accept or reject the project) The project will be acceptable under NPV, but rejected under IRR The NPV decision will be the opposite of the IRR decision (i.e accept or reject the project)

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. Select one: a. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. b. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. c. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. d. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. e. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
he IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $3,000,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $275,000 Year 2 –150,000 Year 3 475,000 Year 4 400,000 Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.’s WACC is 8%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 15.88% 14.21% 18.39% -20.35% If Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should this independent project.…
