Question
Which one of the following statements is correct concerning the payback rule?
a. The payback period is computed using the present value of each of the cash flows.
b. The rule says that you should accept a project if the payback period is greater than 1.0.
c. The rule is biased in favour of long-term projects.
d. The rule is flawed because it ignores all cash flows after some arbitrary point in time.

- 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.arrow_forwardAn analysis of a proposal by the net present value method indicates that the present value of future cash inflows is less than the amount to be invested Which of the following statements best describes the results of this analysis ? The proposal is undesirable , and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis . The proposal is desirable , and the rate of return expected from the proposal is less than the minimum rate used for the analysis The proposal is desirable , and the rate of return expected from the proposal exceeds the minimum rate used for the analysis . The proposal is undesirable , and the rate of return expected from the proposal exceeds the minimum rate used for the analysis .arrow_forward3. 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.arrow_forward
- The timing of the cash flows is irrelevant when we calculate the NPV of the project, is this true or false?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than the cost of capital, the project must also have a positive NPV. b. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than the cost of capital, the project must have a positive NPV. c. If the NPV is negative, the IRR must also be negative. d. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. e. If Project A's IRR exceeds Project B's, then A must have the higher NPV.arrow_forward22)arrow_forward
- PLEASE ANSWER ASAP.....arrow_forwardQUESTION #1: Which of the following is a disadvantage of using the IRR method of capital budgeting over other types: A- IRR does not consider the time and value of money. B- IRR assumes reinvestment of project cash flows at the same rate as the IRR C- IRR ignores the prudent simplicity of paybacks D- None of the above QUESTION #2: The net present value (NPV) of an investment is___________. A- The present value of all benefits (cash inflows) B- The present value of all costs (cash outflows) of the project C- The present value of all benefits (cash inflows) minus the present value of all costs (cash outflows) of the project D- The present value of all benefits (cash outflows) minus the present value of all costs (cash inflows) of the projectarrow_forward9. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the cost of capital. One defect of the IRR method is that it values a dollar received today the same as a dollar that will not be received until sometime in the future. One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the time value of money. One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of cash flows over a project's full life. One defect of the IRR method is that it assumes that the cash flows to be received from a project can be reinvested at the IRR itself, and that assumption is often not valid.arrow_forward
- When the underlying riskiness of free cash flows (FCF) decreases, the value of the project O increases stays the same decreasesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? I At higher discount rate, a project is more likely to be rejected. II A project is acceptable if the IRR = 8% while the cost of capital = 5%. III IRR does not account for time value of money. Group of answer choices 1. All of the above. 2. I and II 3. I and III 4. II and IIIarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that all projects being considered have normal cash flows and are equally risky. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions, the project's IRR must be negative. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero. O There is no necessary relationship between a project's IRR, its WACC, and its NPV. O When evaluating mutually exclusive projects, those projects with relatively long lives will tend to have relatively high NPVS when the cost of capital is relatively high. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then, under all reasonable conditions, the project's NPV must be negative.arrow_forward
