29. Which one of the following statements is correct regarding capital Investment appraisal methods?a) The Payback period takes into account all the cash flows accruing to the projectb) The Net Present value method does not take the time value of money into accountc) The Accounting Rate of Return takes the time value of cash flows into consideration and is the one most often used in practice by business organisationsd) The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate at which the net present value is zero
H5.
Discuss the following statement: If a firm has only independent projects, a constant WACC, and projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and IRR methods will always lead to identical capital budgeting decisions. What does this imply about the choice between IRR and NPV? If each of the assumptions were changed (one by one), how would your answer change?

b.
The discount rate that results in an NPV for the project of zero.

Which of the following is NOT potentially problematic for Internal Rate of Return (IRR)? Group of answer choices 1. IRR cannot cope with multiple future cash flows 2. It is assumed that intermediate cash flow can be reinvested at the same rate as the project IRR 3. IRR may produce nonsense answers when there is unconventional cash flow with more than one change of sign'. 4. When comparing 2 projects with very different sensitivity to the assumed discount rate, IRR may conflict with Net Present Valuearrow_forward45. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The definition of "normal" cash flows is that the cash flow stream has one or more negative cash flows followed by a stream of positive cash flows and then one negative cash flow at the end of the project's life. b. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it will have exactly two real IRRs. c. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it can have only one real IRR, whereas a project with "nonnormal" cash flows might have more than one real IRR. d. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its IRR must be positive. e. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its MIRR must be positive.arrow_forward
- 5a5) The issue of forecasting risk stresses the point that the correctness of any decision to accept/reject a project highly depends upon the: A. method of analysis used to make the decision.B. initial cash outflow.C. ability to recoup any investment in net working capital.D. accuracy of the projected cash flows.arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Which one of the following statements is NOT correct? Group of answer choices If the initial cost of a project is increased, the net present value of that project will decrease. The MIRR is specifically designed to address conventional cash flows. If the internal rate of return equals the required return, the net present value will equal zero. Net present value is equal to the investment’s cash inflows discounted to today's dollars minus the initial cost of the investment. Net present value is negative when the required return exceeds the internal rate of return.arrow_forwardA company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, with thefollowing cash flows: The company’s WACC is 8.5%.
