If a project has normal cash flows and its IRR exceeds its cost of capital, then the project's NPV must be positive. B. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that cash flows are withdrawn from the business rather than being reinvested in the business. C.

- When considering the discount rate to use for discounting cash flows of a company project, we should use the average of WACC and the marginal cost of capital. T/F?arrow_forwardNet 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.arrow_forwardThe net present value (NPV) method estimates how much a potential project will contribute to Business ethics/Shareholders Wealth/Employee Benefits, and it is the best selection criterion. The Smaller/Larger the NPV, the more value the project adds; and added value means a Higher/Larger stock price. In equation form, the NPV is defined as: CFt is the expected net cash flow at Time t, r is the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, N is its life, and cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. The NPV calculation assumes that cash inflows can be reinvested at the project's risk-adjusted RD/RS/WACC. When the firm is considering independent projects, if the project's NPV exceeds zero the firm should Accept/Reject the project. When the firm is considering mutually exclusive projects, the firm should accept the project with the Lowest Positive/Lowest Negative/Highest Postive/ Highest Negative NPV.Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion…arrow_forward
