Projects A and B are mutually exclusive. If project A, the larger project, has an approximate ERR of 20 percent and project B has an approximate ERR of 13 percent, which project is better if MARR=10 percent? O A The incremental ERR method is required to determine the better project. Neither A nor B is valid. B * For our purposes, a project is valid if its internal rate of return (IRR) is less than MARR. equal to or larger than MARR. less than 0 percent. larger than MARR.
NPV & IRR Refer to the scenario above. The project(s) you select may vary depending on the WACC and whether the projects are independent or mutually exclusive. Which statement is INCORRECT? If the projects are independent and the WACC is 11.0%, both projects A and B are acceptable. If the projects are independent, Project A would be acceptable if the WACC is 17%, but Project B would not. If a project's NPV is negative, the project cannot be accepted. If the projects are mutually exclusive and the WACC is 11.0%, only project B is acceptable. If the projects are mutually exclusive and the WACC is 6.0%, only project B is acceptable.
The following information on two mutually exclusive projects is given below: Which of the following statements is correct?(a) Since the two projects have the same rate of return, they are indifferent.(b) Project A would be a better choice because the required investment is smaller with the same rate of return.(c) Project B would be a better choice as long as the investor's MARR is lessthan 25%.(d) Project Bis a better choice regardless of the investor's MARR.
Project A has an internal rate of return (IRR) of 15 percent. Project B has an IRR of 14 percent. Both projects have a required return of 12 percent. Which of the following statements is most correct? (Assume the projects are not mutually exclusive.) OA. Both projects have a negative net present value (NPV). OB. Both projects should be accepted because the IRR is greater than the required return. OC. If the required return were less than 12 percent. Project 8 would have a higher IRR than Project A OD. Both projects should be rejected.
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
Project X is very risky and has an NPV of $3 million. Project Y is very safe and has an NPVof $2.5 million. They are mutually exclusive, and project risk has been properly consideredin the NPV analyses. Which project should be chosen? Explain.

Under what conditions might you find more thanone IRR for a project? How would you decidewhether or not to accept the project? If you werecomparing two mutually exclusive projects, onewith a single IRR of 12% and the other with two different IRRs of 10% and 15%, how should youchoose between the projects?
Which of the following is CORRECT? Select one: a. If the NPV of a project is negative, the IRR for the project must also be negative. b. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. c. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. d. If Project 1's IRR exceeds Project 2's IRR, then 1 must have a higher NPV than 2. e. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. You purchase a house for $250,000. After you make your down payment of $50,000, you are financing $200,000 for 30 years at an annual percentage rate of 5.4%. How much are your monthly payments? Select one: a. Less than $1,000 b. Between $1,000 and $1,050 c. Between $1,050 and $1,100 d. Between $1,100 and $1,150 e. Greater than $1,200
Suppose x1, x2, and x3 are binary variables that are equal to 1 if the corresponding project (1, 2, or 3) is selected and 0 if the corresponding project is not selected. Also, suppose that y1, y2, and y3 are variables that indicate the amount of money invested in the projects (projects can only be invested in if they are selected). The maximum investment is $2000 for project 1, $4000 for project 2, and $6000 for project 3. Which of the following constraints is needed for this problem? x3 ≤ 6000y3 6000x3 ≤ y3 6000y3 ≤ x3 y3 ≤ 6000x3
