An investment project for which the net present value is $300 would result in which of the following conclusions? A. The rate of return of the investment project is greater than the required rate of return. The investment project should only be accepted if net present value is zero; a positive net present value indicates an error in the estimates associated with B. the analysis of this investment. C. The net present value method is not suitable for evaluating this project; the internal rate of return method should be used. D. The net present value is too small; the project should be rejected.

Using IRR, a project is rejected if the IRR a. is equal to the required rate of return. b. is less than the required rate of return. c. is greater than the cost of capital. d. is greater than the required rate of return. e. produces an NPV equal to zero.
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)
I asked this question before, but for some reason, even though it was answred I cannot see it, it marks an error when I try to open it. So here it is again: Comparing Investment Criteria. Define each of the following investment rules and discuss any potential shortcomings of each. In your definition, state the criterion for accepting or rejecting independent projects under each rule. a. Payback period. b. Internal rate of return. c. Profitability index. d. Net present value. Thank you!
You should accept a project when the ?: net present value is negative. profitability index is positive. payback period exceeds the required period. AAR is greater than the required return. 7. Which one of the following statements is correct? The payback period is also referred to as the benefit-cost ratio. The internal rate of return can be reliably used for all independent projects. The profitability index is used when the investment funds are limited. The net present value should not be used to rank mutually exclusive projects. 8. You should accept a project when the ?: net present value is negative. profitability index is less than 1 but greater than 0. discounted payback period is less than the required period. AAR is less than the required return. 9. The crossover point ? : is used to determine which one of two internal rates of return for a project should be used when determining if a project should be accepted. 2. is the…
Two investment projects are under analysis and, due to budget constraints, only one of them can be selected. The investor should select the project: a. Based on absolute metric of value b. With higher internal rate of returnc. With lower discounted payback period
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the payback method? Takes account of differences in size among projects. If a project’s payback is positive, then the project should be accepted because it must have a zero NPV. Ignores cash flows beyond the payback period. Has an objective, market-determined benchmark for making decisions. Directly account for the time value of money.
Which of the following is correct? • the shorter a projects payback period, the less desirable the project is normally considered to be by this criterion • one drawback of the payback criterion is that this method does not take account of cash flows beyond the payback period. • if a projects payback is postitive, then the project should be accepted because it must have a positive NPV • the regular payback ignores cash flows beyond the payback period, but the discounted payback method overcomes this problem •one drawback of the discounted payback is that this method does not consider the time value of money, while the regular payback overcomes this drawback.
Which of the following is CORRECT? Select one: a. If the NPV of a project is negative, the IRR for the project must also be negative. b. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. c. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. d. If Project 1's IRR exceeds Project 2's IRR, then 1 must have a higher NPV than 2. e. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. You purchase a house for $250,000. After you make your down payment of $50,000, you are financing $200,000 for 30 years at an annual percentage rate of 5.4%. How much are your monthly payments? Select one: a. Less than $1,000 b. Between $1,000 and $1,050 c. Between $1,050 and $1,100 d. Between $1,100 and $1,150 e. Greater than $1,200
When the present value of the cash inflows exceeds the initial cost of a project, then the project should be : A. rejected because NPV is negative. B. accepted because NPV is greater than 1. C. accepted because the profitability index is negative. D. rejected because the internal rate of return is negative.
Which of the following statements is correct? a. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio. b. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects. c. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis. d. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money. e. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen.
Which of the following statement is correct Select one: a. A project is accepted when profitability index will be greater than one b. All statements are correct c. A project is accepted when net present value is greater than zero d. A project is accepted when payback period is less than the other project
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding project appraisal techniques? At IRR, the NPV of a project is equal to 0 If the IRR of a project is 8%, its NPV calculated using a discount rate greater than 8%, will be less than 0 If the NPV of a project is greater than 0, then its PI will exceed 1. If the PI of a project equals 0, then the project's initial cash outflow equals the PV of its cash inflows
