Which of the following statements is true if the NPV of a project is - $4,000 (negative $4,000) and the required rate of return is 5 percent?a. The project’s IRR is less than 5 percent.b. The required rate of return is lower than the IRR.c. The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR.d. The NPV would be positive if the IRR was equal to 5 percent.
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding project appraisal techniques?
At IRR, the NPV of a project is equal to 0
If the IRR of a project is 8%, its NPV calculated using a discount rate greater than 8%, will be less than 0
If the NPV of a project is greater than 0, then its PI will exceed 1.
If the PI of a project equals 0, then the project's initial cash outflow equals the PV of its cash inflows
Consider the cash flows for the investment projects given in Table. Assume that the
MARR = 10%.
(a) Suppose A, B, and C are mutually exclusive projects. Which project would be selected
on the basis of the IRR criterion?
(b) Assume that projects C and E are mutually exclusive. Using the IRR criterion, which
Project would you select?.

Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. O A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost. O If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive. O A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR.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. O a. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive. O b. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR. O c.

The present value of all cash inflows must equal the costs of the project. The IRR is equal to the required rate of return. II. A increase in the project's initial cost will cause the project to have a higher positive NPV. III.
