Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 5MC
Now assume that the equipment’s residual value could be as low as $0 or as high as $400,000, but $200,000 is the expected value. Because the residual value is riskier than the other relevant cash flows, this differential risk should be incorporated into the analysis. Describe how this could be accomplished. (No calculations are necessary, but explain how you would modify the analysis if calculations were required.) What effect would the residual value’s increased uncertainty have on Lewis’ lease-versus-purchase decision?

- Which 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_forwardNow assume that Millon believes the computer’s residual value could be as low as $0 or as high as $250,000, but she stands by $125,000 as her expected value. She concludes that the residual value is riskier than the other cash flows in the analysis, and she wants to incorporate this differential risk into her analysis. Describe how this can be accomplished. What effect will it have on the lease decision?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 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 .

- Which are problems of the payback criterion? Check all that apply: It ignores cash flows after the cutoff date. It ignores the time value of money. It doesn't show the value created by a project. It doesn't fully reflect the risk of a project. It uses an arbitrary cutoff value. It is difficult to calculate.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Select one: a. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. b. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. c. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. d. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. e. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.arrow_forwardWhen the present value of the cash inflows exceeds the initial cost of a project, then the project should be : A. rejected because NPV is negative. B. accepted because NPV is greater than 1. C. accepted because the profitability index is negative. D. rejected because the internal rate of return is negative.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements describing the elements of intrinsic valuation is most accurate? A.) When the present value of the cashflows is discounted with the appropriate rate and this present value is positive, then the asset providing these cashflows has a value to the investor. B.) The risk-free rate is the lowest rate that an investor can earn from short-term investments. C.) Cashflows may include depreciation expenses and amortization costs. D.) A simple calculation of present values of expected cashflows of different investments using the risk free rate would be enough to determine which asset is best.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of the cash payback period? a.the longer the payback, the longer the estimated life of the asset b.the longer the payback, the sooner the cash spent on the investment is recovered c.the shorter the payback, the less likely the possibility of obsolescence d.All of these answers are correct.arrow_forwardd. Consider the following statement "If an analyst decides to use real options methodology to value a project, estimating a standard Discounted Cash Flow model is useless". Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forwardWhich is least likely correct about security valuation?a. The calculated or determined value considers the stream of future cash flows.b. The calculated or determined value equals the market price.c. The calculated or determined value considers the risks involved and the opportunity cost.d. The calculated or determined value allows the investors to evaluate whether a security isovervalued or undervalued.e. All of the abovearrow_forward
