Which of the following statements is most correct? If a project’s internal rate of return (IRR) exceeds the cost of capital, then the project’s net present value (NPV) must be positive. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the cost of capital. Answers a and c are correct. None of the answers above are correct.

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.
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.
Which of the following statements is true about the internal rate of return? a. It is the interest rate that sets a project's net present value at zero. b. It is the minimal acceptable interest rate on an investment. c. It is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project. d.

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.
