What name is given to the time value of money technique that discounts the after-tax cash flows for a project over its life to time period zero using the company’s minimum desired rate of return? a. net present value method b. capital rationing methodc. payback method d. average rate of return method e. accounting rate of return method
In the payback method, depreciation is added back to net operating income when computing the annual net cash flow. True or False   The internal rate of return is computed by finding the discount rate that equates the present value of a project's cash outflows with the present value of its cash inflows.           True or False     The internal rate of return method assumes that the cash flows generated by the project are immediately reinvested elsewhere at a rate of return that equals the company's cost of capital. True or False     An increase in the expected salvage value at the end of a capital budgeting project will increase the internal rate of return for that project. True False     The minimum required rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of the project equal to zero. True False   The production budget is typically prepared before the direct materials budget. True False     The selling and administrative budget is typically prepared…
