B. requirements generally, but not always, create a cash inflow at the beginning of a project. C. expenditures commonly occur at the end of a project.

Why are interest charges not deducted when a projects cash flows are calculated for use in a capital budgeting analysis?
Changes in the net working capital: A. can affect the cash flows of a project every year of the project's life. B. only affect the initial cash flows of a project. C. are included in project analysis only if they represent cash outflows. D. are generally excluded from project analysis due to their irrelevance to the total project. E. affect the initial and the final cash flows of a project but not the cash flows of the middle years. Can you help me explain the answer?
Incremental cash flows: a. refer to only cash flows which occur at the end of a project b. are cash flows which change if you proceed with the project c. refer to only cash flows which occur at the start of a project d. are never included in capital budgeting analysis e. refer to the existing cash flows of the business
In the payback method, depreciation is added back to net operating income when computing the annual net cash flow. True or False The internal rate of return is computed by finding the discount rate that equates the present value of a project's cash outflows with the present value of its cash inflows. True or False The internal rate of return method assumes that the cash flows generated by the project are immediately reinvested elsewhere at a rate of return that equals the company's cost of capital. True or False An increase in the expected salvage value at the end of a capital budgeting project will increase the internal rate of return for that project. True False The minimum required rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of the project equal to zero. True False The production budget is typically prepared before the direct materials budget. True False The selling and administrative budget is typically prepared…
The ARR has one specific advantage not possessed by the payback period in that it a.considers the time value of money. b.measures the value added by a project. c.is always an accurate measure of profitability. d.is more widely accepted by financial managers. e.considers the profitability of a project beyond the payback period.

B) An increase in debtors and stocks expected to occur as a result of undertaking the project. C) The purchase cost of materials that can be used in the project but that the company uses regularly in other operations. D) Interest charges on a loan taken out to finance the project
Breakeven cash inflow refers to ________. the minimum level of cash inflow necessary for a project to be acceptable, that is, NPV greater than or equal to zero the minimum level of cash inflow necessary for a project to be acceptable, that is, IRR less than zero cost of capital the minimum level of cash inflow necessary for a project to be acceptable, that is, IRR equals zero the minimum level of cash inflow necessary for a project to be acceptable, that is, NPV less than zero
The present value of the expected net cash inflows for a project will most likely exceed the present value of the expected net profit after tax for the same project because Group of answer choices Cash flow reflects any change in net working capital, but sales do not. Income is reduced by dividends paid, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by depreciation charges, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by taxes paid, but cash flow is not. There is a greater probability of realizing the projected cash flow than the forecasted income.
Select all that are true with respect to the payback period for making capital investment decisions. Group of answer choices The payback period is the amount of time it takes for a project to generate breakeven income The payback period is the amount of time it takes for a project's cumulative cash flows to become zero The payback period ignores all cash flows beyond a specified required payback period The payback period ignores a project's initial investment The payback period ignores the time value of money
