Relevant cash inflows and outflows in a discounted cash flow analysis are the differences in expected future cash flows as a result of making the investment. The income taxes saved as a result of depreciation deductions are relevant because they decrease cash outflows, but the depreciation itself is a noncash item. True False: Relevant cash inflows and outflows in a discounted cash flow analysis are the differences in past cash flows that resulted from making previous investments. False: neither the income taxes saved as a result of depreciation deductions nor the depreciation itself is considered relevant both B and C none of the above
Which of the following items describes a weakness of the internal rate-of-return method?a. The internal rate of return is difficult to calculate and requires a financial calculator or spreadsheet tool such as Excel to calculate efficiently.b.

The internal rate-of-return calculation ignores project cash flows occurring after the initial investment is recovered.
All of the followings are True when the net present value method is used to choose between two investment alternatives, except: OA All cash inflows and outflows should be considered in calculating the net present value of the two alternatives.
