Title: Understanding Project Evaluation: IRR, WACC, and NPV---**Question: Which of the following statements is CORRECT?** Assume that all projects being considered have normal cash flows and are equally risky.- ○ If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions, the project's IRR must be negative.- ○ If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero.- ○ There is no necessary relationship between a project's IRR, its WACC, and its NPV.- ○ When evaluating mutually exclusive projects, those projects with relatively long lives will tend to have relatively high NPVs when the cost of capital is relatively high.- ○ If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then, under all reasonable conditions, the project's NPV must be negative.**Explanation:**This multiple-choice question focuses on the relationships between a project's Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), and Net Present Value (NPV). For professionals and students in finance, understanding these concepts is key to making informed project evaluation and investment decisions.

It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision of selection of a project for investment. This rate provides the basis for selection of projects with a lower cost of capital and rejection of project with a higher cost of capital.The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is defined as the rate at which the total present value of the cash inflows is equivalent to the total present value of cash outflows. This states that the net present value (NPV) will be at zero if the WACC is equivalent to the IRR.If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero.

2. Consider the model of Moral Hazard where firms choose between investing one unit of output in a less risky or more risky project. The safer project yields with probability and zero otherwise while the risky project yields 2 with probability and zero otherwise i.e. TG = G = TB B = 2. Suppose firms finance their investment by borrowing 1 unit from a the fiinancial market at interest rate R. The financial market is risk neutral and requires an expected rate of return equal to the risk free rate which is assumed to be zero.
