Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The IRR method can never be subject to the multiple IRR problem, while the MIRR method can be.
B) One reason some people prefer the MIRR to the regular IRR is that the MIRR is based on a generally more reasonable reinvestment rate assumption.
C) The higher the WACC, the shorter the discounted payback period.
D) The MIRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the crossover rate.
E) The MIRR and NPV decision criteria can never conflict.

You are considering two mutually exclusive,equally risky,projects.Both have IRRs that exceed the WACC.Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the projects have normal cash flows,with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.


A) If the cost of capital is greater than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
B) If the cost of capital is less than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
C) For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, the initial investment cost of one project must exceed the cost of the other.
D) For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, one project must have an increasing stream of cash flows over time while the other has a decreasing stream. If both sets of cash flows are increasing or decreasing, then it would be impossible for a conflict to exist, even if one project is larger than the other.
E) If the two projects' NPV profiles do not cross, then there will be a sharp conflict as to which one should be selected.

F) A) and D)
G) All of the above

Clifford Company is choosing between two projects.The larger project has an initial cost of $100,000,annual cash flows of $30,000 for 5 years,and an IRR of 15.24%.The smaller project has an initial cost of $50,000,annual cash flows of $16,000 for 5 years,and an IRR of 16.63%.The projects are equally risky.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) Since the smaller project has the higher IRR, the two projects' NPV profiles will cross, and the larger project will look better based on the NPV at all positive values of WACC.
B) If the company uses the NPV method, it will tend to favor smaller, shorter-term projects over larger, longer-term projects, regardless of how high or low the WACC is.
C) Since the smaller project has the higher IRR but the larger project has the higher NPV at a zero discount rate, the two projects' NPV profiles will cross, and the larger project will have the higher NPV if the WACC is less than the crossover rate.
D) Since the smaller project has the higher IRR and the larger NPV at a zero discount rate, the two projects' NPV profiles will cross, and the smaller project will look better if the WACC is less than the crossover rate.
E) Since the smaller project has the higher IRR, the two projects' NPV profiles cannot cross, and the smaller project's NPV will be higher at all positive values of WACC.

Which 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.


A) The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be.
B) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
C) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
D) The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCs.
E) A project's NPV is generally found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV) , then discounting the TV at the IRR to find its PV.

Which 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.


A) 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.
B) If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive.
C) A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.
D) If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive.
E) 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.
