Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one cash outflow at t = o followed by a series of positive cash flows. a. To find a project's MIRR, we compound cash inflows at the regular IRR and then find the discount rate that causes the PV of the terminal value to equal the initial cost. b. To find a project's MIRR, the textbook procedure compounds cash inflows at the WACC and then finds the discount rate that causes the PV of the terminal value to equal the initial cost. c. A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR. d. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then its MIRR will be greater than the IRR. e. A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.

Mathematically, we can determine the rate of return for a given project’s cash flow series by identifying an interest rate that equates the present worth of its cash flows to zero. Select one: True False and explain

If a project with conventional cash flows has an IRR equal to the required return, then: O The profitability index is one. O The IRR must be zero. O The project should be accepted, as the NPV is greater than zero. O The payback period is less than the maximum acceptable period. The NPV is negative.

For a typical project evaluation with initial investment at time=0 and positive cash flows afterwards, each statement in the following shows possible answers in parenthesis. Choose the answer that shows correct answers for all statements. Statement 1: When NPV = 0, investors earn (negative/zero/positive) return. Statement 2: Accept the project when valuation is (higher/the same/lower) than the cost. Statement 3: When IRR> cost of capital,  NPV is (negative/zero/positive). Statement 4: Cost of capital is determined by the (company/investors) considering the (business risk/systematic) risk)   a. negative, higher, positive, investors and systematic b. positive, lower, positive, investors and business c. positive, higher, zero, company and systematic d. positive, higher, positive, investors and systematic

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. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be greater than the IRR. b. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be less than the IRR. c. A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR. d. 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. e. A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.

A project's internal rate of return (IRR) is the  that forces the PV of its inflows to equal its cost. The IRR is an estimate of the project's rate of return, and it is comparable to the  on a bond. The equation for calculating the IRR is:     CFt is the expected cash flow in Period t and cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. There must be a change in cash flow signs to calculate the IRR. The IRR equation is simply the NPV equation solved for the particular discount rate that causes NPV to equal . The IRR calculation assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the . If the IRR is  than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be accepted; however, if the IRR is less than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be . Because of the IRR reinvestment rate assumption, when  projects are evaluated the IRR approach can lead to conflicting results from the NPV method. Two basic conditions can lead to conflicts between NPV and…

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.

If you have a project combined with above-average market risk, which one of the following decisions should you make? Accept if the IRR is greater than the WACC. Use a higher discount rate than the WACC to reflect the project's risk and accept if NPV is positive at this higher discount rate. Accept if the cash flows discounted at the WACC have a positive NPV. Discount the cash flows at the IRR and accept if NPV is positive.
