Noe Drilling Inc.is considering Projects S and L,whose cash flows are shown below.These projects are mutually exclusive,equally risky,and not repeatable.The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion,while the CFO advocates the MIRR.If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher MIRR,how much,if any,value will be forgone,i.e.,what's the NPV of the chosen project versus the maximum possible NPV? Note that (1) "true value" is measured by NPV,and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs.MIRR will have no effect on the value lost.

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 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.
B) The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be.
C) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
D) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
E) The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCs.

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

A) A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR.
B) A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.
C) If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be less than the IRR.
D) If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be greater than the IRR.
E) To find a project's MIRR, we compound cash inflows at the IRR and then discount the terminal value back to t = 0 at the WACC.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) For a project with normal cash flows, any change in the WACC will change both the NPV and the IRR.
B) To find the MIRR, we first compound cash flows at the regular IRR to find the TV, and then we discount the TV at the WACC to find the PV.
C) The NPV and IRR methods both assume that cash flows can be reinvested at the WACC. However, the MIRR method assumes reinvestment at the MIRR itself.
D) If two projects have the same cost, and if their NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant, then the project with the higher IRR probably has more of its cash flows coming in the later years.
E) If two projects have the same cost, and if their NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant, then the project with the lower IRR probably has more of its cash flows coming in the later years.
