Exam 12: Capital Budgeting

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.

are considering two mutually exclusive, equally risky, projects Both have IRRs that exceed the WACC Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the projects have normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.

Lancaster Corpis considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14% When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Because "present value" refers to the value of cash flows that occur at different points in time, a series of present values of cash flows should not be summed to determine the value of a capital budgeting project.

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?

Normal Projects S and L have the same NPV when the discount rate is zero However, Project S's cash flows come in faster than those of L Therefore, we know that at any discount rate greater than zero, L will have the higher NPV.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

the IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of mutually exclusive (and also normal) Project Y, we can conclude that the firm should always select X rather than Y if X has NPV > 0.

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.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.

phenomenon called "multiple internal rates of return" arises when two or more mutually exclusive projects that have different lives are compared to one another.

basic rule in capital budgeting is that If a project's NPV exceeds its IRR, then the project should be accepted.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that all projects being considered have normal cash flows and are equally risky.

Projects C and D both have normal cash flows and are mutually exclusiveProject C has a higher NPV if the WACC is less than 12%, whereas Project D has a higher NPV if the WACC exceeds 12%Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

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?

firm should never accept a project if its acceptance would lead to an increase in the firm's cost of capital (its WACC).
