QUESTION 15 The internal rate of return is defined as the: rate at which the net present value of a project is equal zero. rate of return a project will generate if the project in financed solely with internal funds. O rate that equates the net cash inflows of a project to zero. maximum rate of return a firm expects to earn on a project. rate that causes the profitability index for a project to equal zero.

If the net present value of a project is positive, the project earns a return that is Group of answer choices - equal to the required rate or return - greater than the required rate of return - equal to the accounting rate of return - greater than the accounting rate of return

H5.   Discuss the following statement: If a firm has only independent projects, a constant WACC, and projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and IRR methods will always lead to identical capital budgeting decisions. What does this imply about the choice between IRR and NPV? If each of the assumptions were changed (one by one), how would your answer change?   Explain with details

Question 4 Select all that are true with respect to the NPV rule for making capital investment decisions. When done correctly, NPV directly measures expected value creation NPV ignores cash flows in the distant future NPV causes decision makers to be myopic For independent projects, all positive NPV projects should be taken, and negative NPV projects should not be taken For mutually exclusive projects, choose the project with the highest NPV Question 5 Project A has an IRR of 25% and an NPV of $2 million. Project B has an IRR of 20% and an NPV of $3m. Select all the following statements that are true. O If the projects are mutually exclusive, select project A only If the projects are mutually exclusive, select project B only O If the projects are mutually exclusive, select both projects O If the projects are independent, select project A only O If the projects are independent, select project B only O If the projects are independent, select both projects

The 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…

Which investment criteria answers the question: "How quickly do we recover our investment, in nominal dollars?" A) net present value B) internal rate of return C) profitability index D) payback period

Question 6 Which one of the following methods predicts the amount by which the value of a firm will change if a project is accepted? O Payback O Profitability index O Net present value O Internal rate of return O Discounted payback

The capital budgeting decision that requires a choice between two decisions is a(n) _______ project. Independent Dependent Mutually exclusive Inclusive The actual value that a firm loses when it makes a capital budgeting decision is a(n) ______ cost Fixed Opportunity Sample Unknown The number of years required for an investment to return the monies invested is known as a projects Economic life Usage rate Capital decision Payback period The future benefits received from investing in a project are the projects Net cash flows Net investment Net cost Net return The capital components included in a firms weighted cost of capital are Common stock Debt Retained earnings All of the above Weaknesses in using solely the payback method as a measure of a projects risk include Not accounting for the time value of money There is no objective criterion for deciding what is an acceptable payback period Cash flows that occur after the payback period have no impact on the…

36 The relationship between the payback method and the internal rate of return is that:  Group of answer choices  The discounted payback period is exactly the same as the IRR.  The payback period is the present value factor for the IRR.  A payback period of less than one-half of the life of a project will yield an IRR lower than the target rate.  A project whose payback period does not meet the company’s cut-off rate for payback will not meet the company’s criterion for IRR.
