All of the followings are True when the net present value method is used to choose between two investment alternatives, except: OA All cash inflows and outflows should be considered in calculating the net present value of the two alternatives. OB OC The net present value of the two alternatives calculated using the total cost approach need to be compared. Managers should choose the alternative that has the least total cost from a present value perspective. The relevant cash flows should be isolated from the irrelevant cash flows. OD
