15. 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 Group of answer choices The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.

Consider the given problem. If your risk-adjusted discount rate is 18%, is this project justifiable?

A project has a forecasted cash flow of $118 in year 1 and $129 in year 2. The interest rate is 5%, the estimated risk premium on the market is 12%, and the project has a beta of 0.58. If you use a constant risk-adjusted discount rate, answer the following: a. What is the PV of the project? b. What is the certainty-equivalent cash flow in year 1 and year 2? c. What is the ratio of the certainty-equivalent cash flows to the expected cash?

Your firm has identified three potential investment projects. The projects and their cash flows are shown here: Project Cash Flow Today ($) Cash Flow in One Year ($) A -10 20 В 20 -10 Suppose all cash flows are certain and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. a. What is the NPV of each project? b. If the firm can choose only one of these projects, which should it choose? c. If the firm can choose any two of these projects, which should it choose?

48. 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. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also 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. 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.

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. Select one: a. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. b. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. c. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. d. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. e. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.

A project has a forecasted cash flow of $121 in year 1 and $132 in year 2. The interest rate is 8%, the estimated risk premium on the market is 10.25%, and the project has a beta of 0.61. If you use a constant risk-adjusted discount rate, answer the following: What is the PV of the project? What is the certainty-equivalent cash flow in year 1 and year 2? What is the ratio of the certainty-equivalent cash flows to the expected cash?

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's projected MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected. ) WACC: Year Cash flows a. 21.67% O b. 18.17% c. 22.69% d. 28.23% e. 27.23% 11.50% 0 -$1,000 1 $550 2 $550 3 $550

A project's internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate YTM on a bond. The equation for calculating the IRR is: timing Project A Project B 0 1 2 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 zero 320 255 The IRR calculation assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR If the IRR is greater ✔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 rejected ✓✓✓. Because of the IRR reinvestment rate assumption, when mutually exclusive 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 IRR: ✔ differences (earlier cash flows in…

A project has a forecasted cash flow of $121 in year 1 and $132 in year 2. The interest rate is 8%, the estimated risk premium on the market is 10.25%, and the project has a beta of 0.61. If you use a constant risk-adjusted discount rate, answer the following:a. What is the PV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)   b. What is the certainty-equivalent cash flow in year 1 and year 2? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)   c. What is the ratio of the certainty-equivalent cash flows to the expected cash flows in years 1 and 2? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Suppose that, for a certain potential investment project, the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates are as shown in the accompanying table. Solve, a. What is the AW for each of the three estimation conditions? b. It is thought that the most critical factors are useful life and net annual cash flow. Develop a table showing the net AW for all combinations of the estimates forthese two factors, assuming all other factors to be at their most likely values.

1. Which of the following is not true? Group of answer choices The method in which we calculate a project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is called the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The Payback period can be calculated using the discounted (present) values of future cash inflows. The Payback period calculated using this method is what's called the Discounted Payback Period. The Net Present Value is calculated using the present value of the investments and future cash inflows. None of the above (all of the above are correct)

The CFO has asked you to compute Project Delta's initial investment using the information currently available to you. He has offered the following suggestions and observations: • A project's IRR represents the return the project would generate when its NPV is zero or the discounted value of its cash inflows equals the discounted value of its cash outflows-when the cash flows are discounted using the project's IRR. • The level of risk exhibited by Project Delta is the same as that exhibited by the company's average project, which means that Project Delta's net cash flows can be discounted using Blue Hamster's 9% WACC. Given the data and hints, Project Delta's initial investment is and its NPV is (rounded to the nearest whole dollar). A project's IRR will if the project's cash inflows increase, and everything else is unaffected.
