Introduction:
The net present value is the difference between the market value of the investment and the cost of the investment. The payback period is one of the capital budgeting techniques, which refers to the number of periods needed to get back the actual investment made in a project.

Net Present Value Suppose a project has conventional cash flows and a positive NPV. What do you know about its payback? Its discounted payback? Its profitability index? Its IRR? Explain.
What are the reinvestment rate assumptions for the NPV and the IRR?
A.IRR: Risk Free Rate NPV: WACC
B.IRR: The IRR itself NPV: WACC
C.The cash flows generated by the project are not assumed to be reinvested. So they will not earn a rate of return.
D.IRR: Risk free rate NPV: Risk free Rate
E. IRR:WACC NPV: WACC
Mathematically, we can determine the rate of return for a given project’s cash flow series by identifying an interest rate that equates the present worth of its cash flows to zero.

- which of the following statement is true>? 1. return on equity is the ratio of total assets to total net income 2. one must know the discount rate to compute the npv of a project but one can compute the IRR without referring to the discount rate. 3. there will always be one IRR regardless of cash flows 4. one must know the discount rate to compute the IRR of a project but one can compute the NPV without referring to the discount rate 5. payback accounts for time value of moneyarrow_forwardIf a project with conventional cash flows has an IRR equal to the required return, then: O The profitability index is one. O The IRR must be zero. O The project should be accepted, as the NPV is greater than zero. O The payback period is less than the maximum acceptable period. The NPV is negative.arrow_forwardWhat do you know about the mathematical value of the internal rate of return of a project under each of the following conditions? a.The future worth of the project is equal to zero. b. The future worth of the project is less than zero.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_forwardTrue or False A project will have multiple internal rates of return if its future net cash flows alternate between negative and positive values.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is CORRECT? Select one: a. If the NPV of a project is negative, the IRR for the project must also be negative. b. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. c. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. d. If Project 1's IRR exceeds Project 2's IRR, then 1 must have a higher NPV than 2. e. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. You purchase a house for $250,000. After you make your down payment of $50,000, you are financing $200,000 for 30 years at an annual percentage rate of 5.4%. How much are your monthly payments? Select one: a. Less than $1,000 b. Between $1,000 and $1,050 c. Between $1,050 and $1,100 d. Between $1,100 and $1,150 e. Greater than $1,200arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than the cost of capital, the project must also have a positive NPV. b. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than the cost of capital, the project must have a positive NPV. c. If the NPV is negative, the IRR must also be negative. d. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. e. If Project A's IRR exceeds Project B's, then A must have the higher NPV.arrow_forward18. In a situation such as Acron's, where a one-time cost is followed by a sequence of cash flows, the internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal to 0. The idea is that if the discount rate is greater than the IRR, the company will not pursue the project, but if the discount rate is less than the IRR, the project is financially attractive. a. Use Excel's Goal Seek tool to find the IRR for the Acron model. b. Excel also has an IRR function. Look it up in online help to see how it works, and then use it on Acron's model. Of course, you should get the same IRR as in part a. c. Verify that the NPV is negative when the discount rate is slightly greater than the IRR, and that it is positive when the discount rate is slightly less thanarrow_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_forward
- Q.

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_forward1] Payback and Internal Rate of Return: A project has perpetual cash flows of C per period, a cost of I, and a required return of r.
