How is the IRR determined if there are uneven cash flows?
The NPV method assumes that cash inflows associated with a particular investment occur when? A. only at the time of the initial Investment B. only at the end of the year C. only at the beginning of the year D. at any of these times
Which of the following discounts future cash flows to their present value at the expected rate of return, and compares that to the Initial Investment? A. internal rate of return (IRR) method B. net present value (N PV) C. discounted cash flow model D. future value method
The net present value: is equal to the initial investment when the internal rate of return is equal to the required return. is unaffected by the timing of an investment's cash flows. ignores cash flows that are distant in the future. decreases as the required rate of return increases.
All of the following statements regarding NPV are true EXCEPT:a. A positive NPV indicates the present value of the cash flows exceeds the initial investment.b. A negative NPV indicates the present value of the cash flows is less than the initial investment.c. An NPV equal to zero indicates the present value of the cash flows is equal to the initial investment.d. The internal rate of return is the discount rate that causes the initial investment to exceed the present value of the cash flows.
Relevant cash inflows and outflows in a discounted cash flow analysis are the differences in expected future cash flows as a result of making the investment. The income taxes saved as a result of depreciation deductions are relevant because they decrease cash outflows, but the depreciation itself is a noncash item. True False: Relevant cash inflows and outflows in a discounted cash flow analysis are the differences in past cash flows that resulted from making previous investments. False: neither the income taxes saved as a result of depreciation deductions nor the depreciation itself is considered relevant both B and C none of the above
The ____ of an investment is the period of time for the ____ to equal the initial cash outlay. a. profitability index; present value of the cash inflows b. payback period; cumulative cash inflows c. payback period; present value of the cash inflows d. None of these are correct
To find NPV, it requires Choices: A.none of the choices B.discount rate and estimated cash flows C.investment amount plus discount rate D.discount rate and inflation rate E.estimated cash flow and capital structure
A disadvantage of using the payback period to compare investment alternatives is that it a. Ignores cash flows beyond the payback period. b. Cannot be used to compare alternatives with different initial investments. c. Cannot be used when cash flows are not uniform. d. Involves the time value of money. e. Cannot be used if a company records depreciation.
NPV measures a. the change in firm value b. the profitability of an investment c. the change in wealth d. the present value of the future net cash flows from the investment e. all of the above
In the discounted cashflow method, the discount rate is used for the following reasons EXCEPTa. it removes the timing differences of cashflows.b. it serves as the required rate of return of the asset being valued.c. it removes the expected riskiness of differing assetsd. it equalizes cash inflows to cash outflows so that the value would equal to the market value.
