(7.1)
Why do we only include free cash flows when evaluating a project using the NPV project evaluation method?
Select one:
a.
Because only free cash flows are tax-deductible.
b.
Because free cash flows exclude financing costs, because these are included in the cost of capital which is the discount rate used to determine the NPV.
c.
Because free cash flows are always positive cash inflows.
d.
Because free cash flows do not cost the firm anything.
“When evaluating projects, we’re concerned with only the relevant incremental after-tax cash flows. Therefore, because depreciation is a non-cash expense, we should ignore its effects when evaluating projects.” Critically evaluate this statement.
(7.1)

b.
The cost of transporting machinery to another state to allow expansion of operations to that state.
c.
Underwriting costs resulting from the issue of new shares to raise the capital needed to expand operations interstate.

Please explain your answer for better understanding.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between independent projects and dependent projects? a: Independent projects' cash flows are not affected by other projects' cash flows b: Dependent project cash flows are affected by others projects' cash flows c: Both of the above are true d: neither of the above is truearrow_forward
- The present value of the expected net cash inflows for a project will most likely exceed the present value of the expected net profit after tax for the same project because Group of answer choices Cash flow reflects any change in net working capital, but sales do not. Income is reduced by dividends paid, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by depreciation charges, but cash flow is not. Income is reduced by taxes paid, but cash flow is not. There is a greater probability of realizing the projected cash flow than the forecasted income.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning the payback period, is not true? a. The payback period measures the time that a project will take to generate enough cash flows to cover the initial investment.incorrect b. the payback period involves a simple method c. the payback period takes into account the time value of money d. the payback period ignores cash flowsarrow_forwardHi, number 3 still appears to be unanswered for this problem. How do you determine relevant cash flow (after-tax) at project disposal (termination)?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about the internal rate of return? a. It is the interest rate that sets a project's net present value at zero. b. It is the minimal acceptable interest rate on an investment. c. It is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project. d. It is the difference between the present value of a cash outflow and the depreciation associated with an asset.arrow_forwardAdjusted present value technique is a technique that A) adjusts conventional present value for nonconstant cash inflows B) suggests separating tax savings from interest in the cash flows within the valuation process C) is used to value a project for a multinational corporation D) simply adjusts the conventional present value for nominal interestarrow_forwardAll parts are under one question therefore per your policy, all parts can be answered in full. 4. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Fuzzy Button Clothing Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $3,000,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 –175,000 Year 3 425,000 Year 4 500,000 A. Fuzzy Button Clothing Company’s WACC is 8%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 21.07% 20.19% -19.29% 14.93% B. If…arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is most correct? If a project’s internal rate of return (IRR) exceeds the cost of capital, then the project’s net present value (NPV) must be positive. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the cost of capital. Answers a and c are correct. None of the answers above are correct.arrow_forwardIf an investment project will positively affect the cash flows of other products the firm currently sells (increasing the flows), this is cannibalization and therefore should be counted in the investment project’s expected cash flows. tRUE OR FALSEarrow_forward4. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality, the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project's IRR. Consider the following situation: United Fried Cheese Co. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $2,750,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Year 1 Cash Flow $375,000 Year 2 -$125,000 Year 3 Year 4 $400,000 $475,000 United Fried Cheese Co.'s WACC is 10%, and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project. Calculate this project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR). ○ -16.10% -19.32% -15.29% ○ -14.49% If United Fried Cheese Co.'s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should this independent project.arrow_forward
