Investing is a risky business, so investors must be ready to accept that future investment cash flows may be uncertain and unpredictable. This being case, what is the best way to evaluate the value of such an investment? A. Determine the future value of the individual anticipated cash flows at a minimum acceptable rate of return B. Convert the individual future cash flows in a perpetuity and determine the present value of the perpetuity C. Convert the individual future cash flows into an annuity and determine the present value of the annuity D. Determine the present value of the individual anticipated cash flows at a minimum acceptable rate of return

A. the discount rate used was too high B. the investment provides an actual rate of return greater than the discount rate C. the investment provides an actual rate of return equal to the discount rate D. the discount rate is too low
The amount of time needed to recoup one's initial investment is referred to as the payback period, and it is also the amount of time required for an investor to reach the point when they are no longer losing money. Investments with shorter payback periods are considered more desirable, whereas those with longer payback periods are seen as less desirable. Imagine that you are the Chief Financial Officer. Critically evaluate the use of cash payback method (advantages and disadvantgaes) in determining the investment decisions with sufficient cash flow to ensure business sustainability in a competitive environment.
Which of the following statements about the time value of money is true? a.) A dollar in hand today is worth less than a dollar to be received in the future. b. ) The value of a dollar invested at a positive interest rate decreases over time. c.) The further in the future you receive a dollar, the less it is worth today. d.)The higher the rate of interest, the more likely an investor will elect to consume at present and forgo invest his funds.
Explain what is meant by the internal rate of return of an investment and discuss its relationship to the NPV of an investment. Explain the problems posed for the use of the IRR when it is necessary (i) to choose between two investments and when (ii) investments are characterised by negative net cash flows at the end of their lives. Discuss and evaluate the use of the payback period as an investment criterion.

A) the more frequent, the less that needs to be invested now in order to achieve a given future cash flow B) the more frequent, the more that needs to be invested now in order to achieve a given future cash flow C) the more frequent, the greater the present value of a fixed future cash flow D) the more frequent, the lower the present value of a fixed future cash flow
Which of the following statements correctly describe how the present value of a future expected cash flow may vary with different factors? Group of answer choices A. More than one of the other options are correct. B. As the expected loss of purchasing power due to inflation increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of a future expected cash flow will decrease. C. As the period of time we have to wait until we receive a future expected cash flow decreases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will decrease. D. As the risk associated with a future expected cash flow increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will increase.
