Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.
O a. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive.
O b. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR.
O c. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.
O d. If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive.
O e. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC.
You have determined the profitability of a planned project by finding the present value of all the cash flows from that project. Which of the following would cause the project to look more appealing in terms of the present value of those cash flows?
A. The discount rate increases.
B. The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time, but the total amount of the cash flows remains the same.
C. The discount rate decreases.
D. Answers B and C above.
E. Answers A and B above.
A project's IRR: A) All of these answers are correct. B is the average rate of return necessary to pay back the project's capital providers. C is equal to the discounted cash flows divided by the number of cash flows if the cash flows are a perpetuity. D will change with the cost of capital.

Write down the formula, clearly explain each term.arrow_forwardWhich of the following comes closest to the net present value (NPV) of a project whose initial investment is $5 and which produces two cash flows: the first at the end of year 2 of $3 and the second at the end of year 4 of $7?

- 1. Which of the following is not true? Group of answer choices The method in which we calculate a project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is called the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The Payback period can be calculated using the discounted (present) values of future cash inflows. The Payback period calculated using this method is what's called the Discounted Payback Period. The Net Present Value is calculated using the present value of the investments and future cash inflows. None of the above (all of the above are correct)arrow_forwardYou have determined the profitability of a planned project by finding the present value of all the cash flows from that project. Which of the following would cause-the project to look less appealing in terms of the present value of those cash flows? O The discount rate decreases. The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time, but the total amount remains the same. O The discount rate increases. O Statements B and C are correct. O Statements A and B are correct.arrow_forwarda. What are the project’s annual net cash inflows? b. What is the present value of the project’s annual net cash inflows? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) c. What is the project’s net present value? (Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) d. What is the profitability index for this project? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) e. What is the project’s internal rate of return? (Round your answer to nearest whole percent.)arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is correct concerning the payback rule? a. The payback period is computed using the present value of each of the cash flows. b. The rule says that you should accept a project if the payback period is greater than 1.0. c. The rule is biased in favour of long-term projects. d. The rule is flawed because it ignores all cash flows after some arbitrary point in time.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? The internal rate of return is the rate of return of an investment project over its useful life. When the net cash inflow is the same every year for a project after the initial investment, the internal rate of return of a project can be determined by dividing the initial investment required in the project by the annual net cash inflow. This computation yields a factor that can be looked up in a table of present values of annuities to find the internal rate of return. Multiple Choice Only statement I is true. Only statement II is true. Both statements are true.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. a. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be greater than the IRR. b. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be less than the IRR. c. A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR. d. To find a project's MIRR, we compound cash inflows at the IRR and then discount the terminal value back to t = 0 at the WACC. e. A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.arrow_forward

A project’s NPV is generally found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the IRR to find its PV . b. The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be c. If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC . d. If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. e. The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCsarrow_forward
