The present value of the expected net cash inflows for a project will most likely exceed the present value of the expected net profit after tax for the same project because Group of answer choices Cash flow reflects any change in net working capital, but sales do not. Income is reduced by dividends paid, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by depreciation charges, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by taxes paid, but cash flow is not. There is a greater probability of realizing the projected cash flow than the forecasted income.

The Payback method takes the initial investment and divides it by the accelerated depreciation per year of the investment True False   In the Statement of Cash Flows, depreciation is ignored because it is a non cash expense. True False

The payback period is a non - discounted cash flow technique that measures: a. The time required to recover the initial investment b. The profitability of the project c. The net present value of the project d. The internal rate of return of the project

In calculating the incremental after-tax cash flows associated with a particular investment, the firm must consider many types of cash flows.  Select all  the incremental cash flow types below that the firm would not incorporate directly into their incremental after-tax cash flow estimates. A) revenues B) operating costs C) sunk costs D) net working captial E) opportunity costs F) financing costs

Changes in net operating working capital can be excluded from a project's cash flows because the funds will be recaptured at the conclusion of the project. OA company that uses accelerated depreciation will have higher net income in the early years and lower net income in the later years, all other things held constant. O The ability to abandon a project if cash flows are lower than expected can have value irrespective of whether the project is of higher or lower than average risk. O Proper analysis of project's cash flows to determine its NPV requires that those cash flows include both opportunity costs and sunk costs. O Monte Carlo simulation can provide valuable information about the risk of a project's cash flow, such as the standard deviation of the cash flow, but it cannot tell us anything about the expected cash flow.

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.

(7.1)  Why do we only include free cash flows when evaluating a project using the NPV project evaluation method? Select one: a. Because only free cash flows are tax-deductible. b. Because free cash flows exclude financing costs, because these are included in the cost of capital which is the discount rate used to determine the NPV. c. Because free cash flows are always positive cash inflows. d. Because free cash flows do not cost the firm anything.

The value of a firm Multiple Choice equals the sum of the individual values of the firm's projects and divisions. is unaffected by the value of any one individual project. increases anytime a project with a zero net present value is accepted. is equal to the sum of all of the future cash flows derived from the firm's projects. increases when a new project with a negative net present value is accepted.

What does the term "Net Present Value (NPV)" represent in finance? a) The total revenue generated by an investment b) The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows c) The total cost of an investment project d) The total profit earned from an investment
