- Which of the following were listed as potential Problems or Issues associated with Using a Rate of Return Approach to justifying single or multiple Mutually Exclusive projects? Note: This is a Multiple Answer question. Please select all of the following options you think are correct? O The ROR calculations are typically more complex than the PW, AW, or FW methods and frequently require the use of trial and error techniques. O You cannot rely on the best Mutually Exclusive project to have the highest ROR. O An incremental approach is required to reliably determine the best project when comparing multiple Mutually Exclusive projects with the ROR approach. O This method assumes that any net positive cash flows are reinvested at the ROR rate. If the ROR rate is substantially larger than MARR, this might not be a realistic assumption. OFor any sequence of Net Cash Flows with more than one sign chance over the life of the project there may be more than one ROR value that satisfies the Rate…arrow_forwardNet present value: Multiple Choice O is the best method of analyzing mutually exclusive projects. is less useful than the internal rate of return when comparing different-sized projects. cannot be applied when comparing mutually exclusive projects. is very similar in its methodology to the average accounting return. is the easiest method of evaluation for nonfinancial managers. 6arrow_forwardWhich of the following would not be relevant in a make or buy decision?
