An investment project for which the net present value is $300 would result in which of the following conclusions? A. The rate of return of the investment project is greater than the required rate of return. The investment project should only be accepted if net present value is zero; a positive net present value indicates an error in the estimates associated with B. the analysis of this investment. C. The net present value method is not suitable for evaluating this project; the internal rate of return method should be used. D. The net present value is too small; the project should be rejected.

c) Mr. Tim, the recently hired manager for this potential project is not convinced that using the IRR is sufficient to assess the project’s viability. Calculate the Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) that should be used. d) Based off this MIRR, should the project be accepted? Explain why.
You should accept a project when the ?: net present value is negative. profitability index is positive. payback period exceeds the required period. AAR is greater than the required return. 7. Which one of the following statements is correct? The payback period is also referred to as the benefit-cost ratio. The internal rate of return can be reliably used for all independent projects. The profitability index is used when the investment funds are limited. The net present value should not be used to rank mutually exclusive projects. 8. You should accept a project when the ?: net present value is negative. profitability index is less than 1 but greater than 0. discounted payback period is less than the required period. AAR is less than the required return. 9. The crossover point ? : is used to determine which one of two internal rates of return for a project should be used when determining if a project should be accepted. 2. is the…
Which of the following statement is correct Select one: a. A project is accepted when profitability index will be greater than one b. All statements are correct c. A project is accepted when net present value is greater than zero d. A project is accepted when payback period is less than the other project
Below are some statements about risk and investment appraisal. Which one is incorrect? A. Risk-adjusted hurdle rates could be used to allow for the risk of a project B. Risk could be allowed for in a project by shortening the pay-back period C. While sensitivity analysis does not directly imbed risk in the appraisal process it is helpful for identifying "key" variables D. Risk decreases with the length of a project E. Probability analysis can be used to allow for the risk of different economic conditions
I asked this question before, but for some reason, even though it was answred I cannot see it, it marks an error when I try to open it. So here it is again: Comparing Investment Criteria. Define each of the following investment rules and discuss any potential shortcomings of each. In your definition, state the criterion for accepting or rejecting independent projects under each rule. a. Payback period. b. Internal rate of return. c. Profitability index. d. Net present value. Thank you!
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the payback method? Takes account of differences in size among projects. If a project’s payback is positive, then the project should be accepted because it must have a zero NPV. Ignores cash flows beyond the payback period. Has an objective, market-determined benchmark for making decisions. Directly account for the time value of money.
Which of the following statements is true? O The salvage value of new equipment should not be considered when using the internal rate of return method to evaluate a project. O The internal rate of return method assumes that the cash flows generated by a project are reinvested at a rate of return that equals the company's cost of capital. O The profitability index and the internal rate of return will always result in the same preference ranking for investment projects. O In calculating the profitability index, the initial investment in the project should be reduced by any proceeds from the sale of old equipment. O None of the above statements is true.
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. Group of answer choices True False
“If the initial cost of an investment project is not totally sunk (the project is not totally irreversible), one should not consider real options” True or False? Write a short answer that offers a discussion about the statement.
16. Which of the following statements regarding the net present value rule and the rate of return rule is false? A. Accept a project if NPV > cost of investment.B. Accept a project if NPV is positive.C. Accept a project if return on investment exceeds the rate of return on an equivalent-risk investment in the financial market.D. Reject a project if NPV is negative.
If the net present value of a proposed investment is negative, what is the discount rate used? O Less than the project's internal rate of return. Less than the minimum required rate of return. Greater than the project's internal rate of return. Greater than the minimum required rate of return.
Using IRR, a project is rejected if the IRR a. is equal to the required rate of return. b. is less than the required rate of return. c. is greater than the cost of capital. d. is greater than the required rate of return. e. produces an NPV equal to zero.
