Consider the relationship between a project's net present value (NPV), its internal rate of return (IRR), and a company's cost of capital. For each scenario that follows, indicate the relative value of the unknown. If cost of capital is unknown, indicate whether it would be higher or lower than the stated IRR. If NPV is unknown, indicate whether it would be higher or lower than zero. Project 1 is shown as an example. Internal Rate of Return Cost of Capital 13 % Net Present Value Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project 4 Project 5 Project 6 13 % 10 % 14 % 12 % 8 % 10 % 9 %

Internal rate of return For the project shown in the following table, calculate the internal rate of return (IRR). Then indicate, for the project, the maximum cost of capital that the firm could have and still find the IRR acceptable.
An NPV profile plots a project's NPV at various costs of capital, labeled "A " and "B" in the graph. A project's NPV profile is shown as follows. Identify the range of costs (ranges labeled "A" and "B") of capital that a firm would use to accept and reject this project. A B The point at which the NPV profile intersects the horizontal axis represents the .
Consider the following sets of investment projects: (a) Classify each project as either simple or nonsimple.(b) Compute the i* for Project A, using the quadratic equation.(c) Obtain the rate(s) of return for each project by plotting the PW as a function of interest rate.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The NPV profile graph for a normal project will generally have a positive (upward) slope as the life of the project increases. b. An NPV profile graph shows how a project's payback varies as the cost of capital changes. O c. An NPV profile graph is designed to give decision makers an idea about how a project's contribution to the firm's value varies with the cost of capital. d. An NPV profile graph is designed to give decision makers an idea about how a project's risk varies with its life. e. We cannot draw a project's NPV profile unless we know the appropriate WACC for use in evaluating the project's NPV.

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 money
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.
