- Which of the following describes the NPV decision rule? Accept if the cost of the project is recouped within 3 years. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows of the project divided by the absolute value of the cost of the project is greater than one. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows from the project minus the cost of the project is greater than zero Accept if the average net income from the project divided by the average book value is greater than the target required Accept if the rate of return earned on the project is greater than the required return for the project.arrow_forward7.
