a. Calculate the
b. Calculate the NPV of the project using the single future value calculated in the previous step and the initial outlay. It is easy to verify that you will gel the same NPV as in your original calculation only if you use the required return as the reinvestment rate in the previous step.

- 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. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive. O b. 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. O c. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost. O d. If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive. O 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.arrow_forwardWhat are the reinvestment rate assumptions for the NPV and the IRR? A.IRR: Risk Free Rate NPV: WACC B.IRR: The IRR itself NPV: WACC C.The cash flows generated by the project are not assumed to be reinvested. So they will not earn a rate of return. D.IRR: Risk free rate NPV: Risk free Rate E. IRR:WACC NPV: WACCarrow_forwardneed answer step by steparrow_forward
- True or False A project will have multiple internal rates of return if its future net cash flows alternate between negative and positive values.arrow_forwardIf 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.arrow_forwardQ. A positive NPV forecast for a new project is reliable only if it is based on Multiple Choices: - forecasts of cash flows. - identifiable sources of economic rents. - Michael Porter's theories. - results from Monte Carlo analysis.arrow_forward
- Whenever the present value of the project is greater than the initial cash outlay then both the NPV and PI are positive. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardIf a project has a positive net present value, then which of the following statements are correct? I. The present value of all cash inflows must equal the costs of the project. The IRR is equal to the required rate of return. II. A increase in the project's initial cost will cause the project to have a higher positive NPV. III. Any delay in receiving the projected cash inflows will cause the project to have a higher positive NPV. IV. IRR must equal zero. Only II Only III All None of themarrow_forwardYou have determined the profitability of a planned project by finding the present value of all the cash flows from that project. Which of the following would cause-the project to look less appealing in terms of the present value of those cash flows? O The discount rate decreases. The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time, but the total amount remains the same. O The discount rate increases. O Statements B and C are correct. O Statements A and B are correct.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forwardYou have determined the profitability of a planned project by finding the present value of all the cash flows from that project.
