- 6.2 (q5) Which of the following is NOT a definition of the internal rate of return of a project? Select one: a. The average profit over the life of a project based on the depreciated book value of the assets used in the project. b. The discount rate that results in an NPV for the project of zero. c. The rate of return on invested capital, based on cash flows and taking into account the time value of money. d. None of the above.

Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project. Be complete and thorough in your answer. 2.
