Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its MIRR must be positive.
B) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it will have exactly two real IRRs.
C) 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.
D) 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.
E) If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its IRR must be positive.

a project with one initial cash outflow followed by a series of positive cash inflows, the modified IRR (MIRR) method involves compounding the cash inflows out to the end of the project's life, summing those compounded cash flows to form a terminal value (TV), and then finding the discount rate that causes the PV of the TV to equal the project's cost.

B) False

Consider two projects, X and YProject X's IRR is 19% and Project Y's IRR is 17% The projects have the same risk and the same lives, and each has constant cash flows during each year of their lives If the WACC is 10%, Project Y has a higher NPV than X Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The crossover rate must be greater than 10%.
B) If the WACC is 8%, Project X will have the higher NPV.
C) If the WACC is 18%, Project Y will have the higher NPV.
D) Project X is larger in the sense that it has the higher initial cost.

Martin Manufacturing is considering two normal, equally risky, mutually exclusive, but not repeatable projectsMartin's WACC is 10%The two projects have the same investment costs, but Project A has an IRR of 15%, while Project B has an IRR of 20% Assuming the projects' NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant, which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) Since the projects are mutually exclusive, the firm should always select Project B.
B) If the crossover rate is 8%, Project B will have the higher NPV.
C) Only one project has a positive NPV.

C) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
D) The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC.

A) If the cost of capital is greater than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
B) If the cost of capital is less than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria.
C) For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, the initial investment cost of one project must exceed the cost of the other.
D) For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, one project must have an increasing stream of cash flows over time while the other has a decreasing stream. If both sets of cash flows are increasing or decreasing, then it would be impossible for a conflict to exist, even if one project is larger than the other.
E) If the two projects' NPV profiles do not cross, then there will be a sharp conflict as to which one should be selected.

A) One drawback of the regular payback for evaluating projects is that this method does not properly account for the time value of money.
B) If a project's payback is positive, then the project should be rejected because it must have a negative NPV.
C) The regular payback ignores cash flows beyond the payback period, but the discounted payback method overcomes this problem.
D) If a company uses the same payback requirement to evaluate all projects, say it requires a payback of 4 years or less, then the company will tend to reject projects with relatively short lives and accept long-lived projects, and this will cause its risk to increase over time.
E) The longer a project's payback period, the more desirable the project is normally considered to be by this criterion.

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.
