The net present value of a project tells management what decision to make on that investment. If the net present value is negat management should: accept the project because the cost is less than the revenue, thereby adding value to the firm. O reject the project because the present value of future cash-flows is greater than the cost of the project. O reject the project because accepting would reduce the value of the firm. O accept or reject depending on the project's payback period.

Making the accept or reject decision Hungry Whale Electronics's decision to accept or reject project Alpha is independent of its decisions on other projects. If the firm follows the NPV method, it should project Alpha. Which of the following statements best explains what it means when a project has an NPV of $0? O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return less than the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept the project, as long as the project's profit is positive. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return equal to the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept a project with an NPV of $0, because the project is earning the required minimum rate of return. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a profit of $0. A firm should reject any project with an NPV of $0, because the project is not profitable.
Which of the following statements is true? O The salvage value of new equipment should not be considered when using the internal rate of return method to evaluate a project. O The internal rate of return method assumes that the cash flows generated by a project are reinvested at a rate of return that equals the company's cost of capital. O The profitability index and the internal rate of return will always result in the same preference ranking for investment projects. O In calculating the profitability index, the initial investment in the project should be reduced by any proceeds from the sale of old equipment. O None of the above statements is true.
If the net present value (NPV) of a project is negative: Group of answer choices accepting the project will decrease the value of the firm. the project is acceptable. the project's discounted payback period is shorter than the useful life of the project. the internal rate of return is high than the firm's required rate of return.
Should companies bid for a project with a price under the "project bid price"? No, this will not make financial sense. It depends on the project payback time. Yes, because they will still have positive profits.
a. If NPV is negative, company usually rejects the project. While, if ARR is greater than cost of capital, company accept the project. Last, if Profitability index is greater than 1, accept the project.b. If IRR on investment is zero, its annual cash flows is equal to its required investment. A• FF B• TT C• TF D• FT

Question 1 Which of the following statements is False regarding the payback period method: OA. Use as a tool in making screening decision. OB. The Cash flows after the payback period are ignored. OC. Shorter payback period indicates a more profitable project. O D. Consider the time value of money.
QUESTION 7 Which of the following statements is correct? a. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen. D. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money. OC. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects. d. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio. e. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis.
Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices a. Undertaking a negative NPV project may increase the value of a firmʹs equity while decreasing overall firm value b. In order to maximize firm value, management should commit to take on no projects that could decrease the value of the existing debt c. In order to maximize firm value, management should undertake all projects that will maximize the value of its equity d. Undertaking a positive NPV project will always increase the values of both the firmʹs debt and its equity
16. Which of the following statements regarding the net present value rule and the rate of return rule is false? A. Accept a project if NPV > cost of investment.B. Accept a project if NPV is positive.C. Accept a project if return on investment exceeds the rate of return on an equivalent-risk investment in the financial market.D. Reject a project if NPV is negative.
Using IRR, a project is rejected if the IRR a. is equal to the required rate of return. b. is less than the required rate of return. c. is greater than the cost of capital. d. is greater than the required rate of return. e. produces an NPV equal to zero.
True / False and explain (if the statement is false, explain why it is incorrect) 1. Simulation analysts uses best- and worst case scenarios to determine the most likely outcome 2. In the absence of capital rationing, the firm should take all projects with a positive net present value.
