18. Consider projects S and L. Both have normal cash flows and the projects have the same risk, hence both are evaluated with the same cost of capital, 10%. However, S has a higher IRR than L. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? A. If project S has a positive NPV, Project L must also have a positive NPV. B. If the cost of capital increases, each project's IRR will decrease. C. If the cost of capital fails, each project's IRR will increase. D. If Projects S and L have the same NPV at the current cost of capital, 10%, then Project L, the one with the lower IRR, would have a higher NPV if the cost of capital used to evaluate the projects decline.

ZLY calculates that a project with conventional cash flows and a required return of 14% has a negative NPV. What do we then know about the project's internal rate of return? A) equal to 21% B) greater than 14% C) less than 14% D) equal to zero
Which of the following statements is most FALSE? A. If a project with normal cash flows has a positive NPV, it will definitely have an MIRR greater than the cost of capital. B. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR that is greater than the cost of capital, then taking on that project would decrease the value of the firm. C. If a project has normal cash flows, then the MIRR has to be between k and IRR if the project has positive interim cash flows (cash flows between t=0 and the end of the project). D. If a project with normal cash flows does not have any interim cash flows, the project's IRR will equal the project's MIRR. E. Multiple IRRS can exist for a project if the project has nonnormal cash flows. OA OB OC
H5. Discuss the following statement: If a firm has only independent projects, a constant WACC, and projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and IRR methods will always lead to identical capital budgeting decisions. What does this imply about the choice between IRR and NPV? If each of the assumptions were changed (one by one), how would your answer change? Explain with details
This is a multiple choice question.
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. O 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. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost. O If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive. O 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.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than the cost of capital, the project must also have a positive NPV. b. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than the cost of capital, the project must have a positive NPV. c. If the NPV is negative, the IRR must also be negative. d. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. e. If Project A's IRR exceeds Project B's, then A must have the higher NPV.
4. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Grey Fox Aviation Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $450,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 –175,000 Year 3 475,000 Year 4 450,000 Grey Fox Aviation Company’s WACC is 10%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 26.73% 27.89% 20.92% 23.24% If Grey Fox Aviation Company’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they shouldreject this independent…
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP.....
Two investments, A and B, cost the same but have different cash flows. The IRR for Investment A is 24% while the IRR for Investment B is 19%. If a required return of 16% is used, however, the NPVs of the two investment are the same. What is the range of required returns in which: a. You would choose A over B? c. You would choose B over A?
When the underlying riskiness of free cash flows (FCF) decreases, the value of the project O increases stays the same decreases
Which of the following statements are true? I At higher discount rate, a project is more likely to be rejected. II A project is acceptable if the IRR = 8% while the cost of capital = 5%. III IRR does not account for time value of money. Group of answer choices 1. All of the above. 2. I and II 3. I and III 4. II and III
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. The lower the WACC used to calculate a project's NPV, 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. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. 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. 000o
