Which of the following statements is (or are) true?
[Select all correct responses.]
O For a borrowing (or "delayed investment" project), the internal rate of return (IRR) decision rule states that if
the IRR exceeds the benchmark rate, accept the project.
O For an investment, the IRR decision rule states that if the IRR exceeds the benchmark rate, accept the
project.
O NPV should never be used if the project under consideration has nonconventional cash flows.
D A decision maker who is considering several mutually exclusive investment opportunities should use IRR to
choose the best one among them.
O The payback investment rule might not use all possible cash flows in its calculation.
O In some instances, for example for mutually exclusive investments, the NPV rule is not as conceptually
legitimate as is the payback rule.
Practitioners generally prefer the payback decision criterion to the IRR because payback considers the time
value of money while IRR does not.

Real options Aa Aa Projects are also often embedded with different options that can help making decisions under uncertainty. There are techniques used to evaluate these embedded options which are called real options. The models used to value these options are based on the type of the real option available for the project. True or False: A real option embedded in a capital project gives the investing firm the right and the obligation to buy, sell, or transform an asset at a set price during a specified period of time. False True The managers of Virginia Hydroponics Co. have included an input flexibility option into the design of a proposed capital investment project: I.

If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much value will be forgone? Note that under certain conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will not cause any value to be lost because the one with the higher IRR will also have the higher NPV, i.e, no conflict will exist. IRR for L 1s 15.66% and IRR for S 1s 19 86 [Hints Value is determined by calculating the NPV of projects and you choose a project with higher NPV in the case of mutually exclusive project).

If the net present value is negative, management should: O accept the project because the cost is less than the revenue, thereby adding value to the firm. O reject the project because the present value of future cash-flows is greater than the cost of the project. O reject the project because accepting would reduce the value of the firm. accept or reject depending on the project's payback period. 3 QUESTIONE Click Save and Submit to save and submit.
