When a capital investment is expected to provide unequal annual cash inflows, the payback period cannot be calculated. True  or False

When npv is negative, the discount rate is greater than the actual return on investment.   A.   True B.   False

An analysis of a proposal by the net present value method indicated that the present value of future cash inflows exceeded the amount to be invested. Which of the following statements best describes the results of this analysis? A)The proposal is undesirable, and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis. B)The proposal is desirable, and the rate of return expected from the proposal exceeds the minimum rate used for the analysis. C)The proposal is undesirable, and the rate of return expected from the proposal exceeds the minimum rate used for the analysis. D)The proposal is desirable, and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis.

Which of the following statements is correct? - NPV method is the only method firms should use to make investment decisions - The internal rate of return method cannot be applied mutually exclusive projects  - The disadvantage of modified IRR method is that it would provide multiple IRRs when dealing with unconventional cashflows - The discounted payback period method does not take into account risk of cashflows

A. it is very A disadvantage of the average rate of return method of capital investment analysis is that complex to compute B. it does not include the entire amount of income earned over the life of a project C. it does not emphasize accounting income, which is often used by investors and creditors in evaluating management performance D. it does not directly consider the timing of the expected cash flows

The internal rate of return is the: discount rate that makes present value of cash inflows equal to present value of cash outflows.   discount rate that causes a project's after-tax income to equal zero.   discount rate that results in a zero net accounting return.   rate of return required by the project's investors.

To find the present value of an uneven series of cash flows, you must find the PVs of the individual cash flows and then sum them. Annuity procedures can never be of use, even when some of the cash flows constitute an annuity, because the entire series is not an annuity. True or false?

3. In a comparison of the NPV and IRR techniques, which of the following is true? statements A. Both methods give the same accept or reject decision, regardless of the pattern of the cash flows. B. IRR is technically superior to NPV and easier to calculate. C. The NPV approach is superior if discount rates are expected to vary over the life of the project. D. NPV and accounting ROCE can be confused.
