Projects A and B are mutually exclusive and have normal cash flows.Project A has an IRR of 15% and B's IRR is 20%.The company's WACC is 12%,and at that rate Project A has the higher NPV.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The crossover rate for the two projects must be less than 12%.
B) Assuming the timing pattern of the two projects' cash flows is the same, Project B probably has a higher cost (and larger scale) .
C) Assuming the two projects have the same scale, Project B probably has a faster payback than Project A.
D) The crossover rate for the two projects must be 12%.
E) Since B has the higher IRR, then it must also have the higher NPV if the crossover rate is less than the WACC of 12%.

Sexton Inc.is considering Projects S and L,whose cash flows are shown below.These projects are mutually exclusive,equally risky,and not repeatable.If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR,how much value will be forgone? Note that under certain conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will not cause any value to be lost because the one with the higher IRR will also have the higher NPV,so no value will be lost if the IRR method is used.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its IRR must be positive.
B) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its MIRR must be positive.
C) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it will have exactly two real IRRs.
D) The definition of "normal" cash flows is that the cash flow stream has one or more negative cash flows followed by a stream of positive cash flows and then one negative cash flow at the end of the project's life.
E) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it can have only one real IRR, whereas a project with "nonnormal" cash flows might have more than one real IRR.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) One advantage of the NPV over the IRR is that NPV takes account of cash flows over a project's full life whereas IRR does not.
B) One advantage of the NPV over the IRR is that NPV assumes that cash flows will be reinvested at the WACC, whereas IRR assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. The NPV assumption is generally more appropriate.
C) One advantage of the NPV over the MIRR method is that NPV takes account of cash flows over a project's full life whereas MIRR does not.
D) One advantage of the NPV over the MIRR method is that NPV discounts cash flows whereas the MIRR is based on undiscounted cash flows.
E) Since cash flows under the IRR and MIRR are both discounted at the same rate (the WACC) , these two methods always rank mutually exclusive projects in the same order.

Last month,Lloyd's Systems analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below.However,before the decision to accept or reject the project,the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates and therefore the firm's WACC.The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows.By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative,in which case it should be rejected.

An increase in the firm's WACC will decrease projects' NPVs,which could change the accept/reject decision for any potential project.However,such a change would have no impact on projects' IRRs.Therefore,the accept/reject decision under the IRR method is independent of the cost of capital.

B) False

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The shorter a project's payback period, the less desirable the project is normally considered to be by this criterion.
B) One drawback of the payback criterion is that this method does not take account of cash flows beyond the payback period.
C) If a project's payback is positive, then the project should be accepted because it must have a positive NPV.
D) The regular payback ignores cash flows beyond the payback period, but the discounted payback method overcomes this problem.
E) One drawback of the discounted payback is that this method does not consider the time value of money, while the regular payback overcomes this drawback.
