Question 4 (4 points) ◄ Listen The IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of normal Project Y, and both IRRs are greater than zero. Also, the NPV of X is greater than the NPV of Y at the cost of capital. If the two projects are mutually exclusive, Project X should definitely be selected, and the investment made, provided we have confidence in the data. Put another way, it is impossible to draw NPV profiles that would suggest not accepting Project X. True False

Which of the following is TRUE about NPV? LO3 NPV is the ratio of a project's present value to the amount of resources consumed in generating it. O NPV is the rate at which IRR equals $0. O NPV and IRR are equally reliable investment decision rules when evaluating mutually exclusive projects. O NPV is the difference between the present value of the benefits and the present value of the costs of a project.

The blue curve (labeled "L") depicts the NPV for a project with larger cash flows later of -$1,000, $100, $300, $400, and $675. The red curve (labeled "S") depicts the NPV for a project with larger cash flows sooner of -$1,000, $500, $400, $300, and $100. Drag on the graph either left or right to change the cost of capital interest rate at which the NPV is evaluated for the two projects.

True or False The concept of individual projects stems from the B/C ratio each project has to offer. Once it is feasible (i.e., BC >1), MEAs are born.

Question 5: Find the net present value, interpret whether the NPV suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the payback period, find the discounted payback period, find the profitability index, interpret whether the profitability index suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the internal rate of return, explain whether the internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project, find the modified internal rate of return, and explain with the modified internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project. All for the following situation: The initial capital outlay is $175,000, the first-year annual operating cash flow is projected to be 20,000 but should grow by 5% per year during each of the project's 30 years, the after-tax-salvage cash flow is guessed to be $500,000, the required rate of return on this project is 15.50% and the company weighted average cost of capital is 12.50%.

10. The phenomenon called "multiple internal rates of return" arises when two or more mutually exclusive projects that have different lives are being compared.  Group of answer choices True False

What would you recommend if the benefit / cost ratio is >1: Select one: a. The project must be accepted. b. Benefit / cost ratio cannot be >1 c. The project must be rejected. d. Benefit / cost ratio always =1
