Which of the follow lg statements is most corect? 4. Allelse equal, a project's IRR increases as the cost of capital declines. |b Ail else equal, a project's NPV increases as the cost of capital declines. ©. All else equal, a projects MIRR is unaffected by changes inthe cos of capital, 4. Answers a and b are correct. Answers band ¢ are correct. 2. Which ofthe following statements is mest correct? & Ia project’s intemal rate of retum (IRR) exceeds the cost of capital, then the | poject’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. 6. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested ata rate of| retura equal to the cost of eapital 4. Answers a and c are corect, ce None of the answers above is core. 3. Project A has an IRR of 15 percent. Project B has an IRR of 18 percent. Both projects have thesame risk.

The tot, undscounted cash flows from Project L are $15,000, while the undiscounted cash flows from Project S total $13,000. Their NPV profiles cross ata discount rate of 10 percent. Which ofthe following statements best describes this situation? @& The NPV and IRR methods will select the same project if the cost of epital is greater ‘than 10 percent; for example, 18 percent ». The NPV and IRR methods will select the same project if the eost of capital is ess ‘han |0 percent. For exemple, 8 percent. ©. Todetermine if a ranking conilit will occur between the two projecs the cost of capitel is needed as well as an additional piece of information, ._ProjettL should be selected at any cost of capital, because it has a higher IRR. ©. Project S should be selected at any cost of capital, becais it has a higher IRR. Which of the folowing is most correct? The NPV and IRR rules wil always lead to the same decision in choosing between mutually exclusive projects, unless one or beth ofthe projecis are “non-normal” in the sense of having only one change of sign inthe cash flow stream, ‘The modified Intemal Rate of Retum (MIRR) compounds cash outfiows at the cost of capital Conflicts between NPV and IRR rules arise in choosing between two mutually ‘exclusive projecs (that each have normal cashflows) when the cost of eapital {Skezade the eeasnver point (that i, the point at which NPV profiles eros) 4. ‘The discounted payback method overcomes the prablems thatthe payback method thas with eash flows occurring after the payback perio. ©.

Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3.00. b, Project B has a modified intemal rate of return of 9.5 percent, Project C requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a positive internal rate of return of 9.7 percent. 4.
